TheOctonaut, to archaeology in Dark-Age Skeletons Uncovered With Buckets on Their Feet And Rings Around Their Necks

Why is Business Insider trying to write archaeology articles? This is awful.

They’re already deleting comments and organising “boosts”. Genuinely bizarre.

I have no idea how this is controversial. Why is posting your own memes/comics worse than posting someone else’s content?

You can see exactly why in this very comment chain, people talking about organising followers to boost things etc

The point of a link aggregator is not to act as veiled marketing for social media accounts or cosplays. Posting your own shit is 9 times out of 10 just promotional crap. Like this. Lemmy doesn’t need content that exists primarily to drive traffic elsewhere, or shit content for the sake of shit content.

No, it isn’t. Because, crucially, you’re not supposed to care who the other people are. By your definition if ‘social media’, my Geocities guest book was social media.

It really isn’t. Self promotion is pretty terrible for a link aggregation site. You used to be limited in the ratio of what you could post between yours and other content. Then The Other Site decided it was social media. Now you want here to be social media too. No thanks 👍

This is a link aggregation website. It doesn’t matter who posts the content. You’re thinking of OnlyFans.

Which in this case is appropriate.

Yeah that’s a good thing with some artists I suppose.

TheOctonaut, to comicstrips in Dress by Pizzacakecomic

Why?

Why? That’s her comic right there? What does that achieve other than bringing her ‘other’ business here?

TheOctonaut, to memes in I think we've been had

This is true only in the vaguest sense.

  1. “Europe” didn’t invent the term soccer. A specific group of people in England did.
  2. Those people were upper class posh boys, the same ones who call rugby “rugger”. They are not the people who support football today or made football what it is around the world.
  3. If you can’t tell, it’s an obvious nickname for something. The equivalent of one nation deciding to exclusively call basketball “shootin’ hoops”.
TheOctonaut, to memes in Fast casual

This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called “With an egg on top”.

Isn’t that the point of the meme? I finally felt seen.

Get figuratively fucked and literally never fucked, descriptivists

TheOctonaut, to memes in Hardcore bassist

I stay out too late! I headbang like an ape! Yeah that’s what people say, mmhmm

TheOctonaut, (edited ) to asklemmy in What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

I’ve never agreed with someone on this and yet been certain they are wearing polished coal rings before
