She/Her, Also @MargotRobbie

Academy Award nominated character actress, clown psychiatrist, Duchess of Bay Ridge, and plastic doll.

She is all of us, yet I’m not her, but sometimes I play her on TV.

So what will be my ending?

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

MargotRobbie,

Speak for yourself, I first got on Lemmy to promote a movie, and the next thing I know, I was using Arch (BTW) and moderating an Android community.

I’m still not quite sure how that happened. This place.

MargotRobbie,

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

MargotRobbie,

Let’s look at some numbers and do some napkin math:

Currently, the top post of Lemmy can usually get a little more than 2K upvotes, which puts Lemmy at about late 2010 to early 2011 reddit level of activity, which is right before reddit hits its explosive growth phase in 2012 with SOPA, Kony, and the Obama AMA. While active user count has been going down, the amount of post and comments have both been steadily going up.

You also have to realize that in more than a decade, there was never a reddit alternative that has EVER hit this level of activity. (unless you count 9gag or the_donald for some reason.)

MargotRobbie,

From acting.

Producing is still work.

MargotRobbie,

For me, it’s very much cyclical: when there is a project going, there are so many people counting on you that pretty much every minute counts, and the cost of mistakes is always high. It’s during these times that time management skill is critical and you need people on the team who’s job is to manage everybody’s time and make sure things gets done, but even with that, the long hours are unavoidable. I don’t think it’s something to brag about, it’s the nature of the job.

But when there is no project going, it feels like there is really not much to do all day, sometimes even the task of finding things to do is a struggle, so you do whatever you want until the next project starts.

MargotRobbie,

And nobody mentioned beans?

You can’t have Lemmy without at least one reference to beans!

MargotRobbie,

Word of mouth. Friends. Internet.

Speaking of which, have you seen Barbie yet? I heard it’s pretty good.

MargotRobbie,

I genuinely can’t tell if the comic was added by somebody else to mock Musk’s tweet, or if Musk is such a narcissistic prick with zero self awareness that he "“ironically” added this comic as part of his fellow-kids memelord act.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

MargotRobbie,

As Lemmy’s only real celebrity, I take offense to that.

MargotRobbie,

I’ve even seen someone trying to shill the “Barbie” movie here, it’s like, we get that it is a really good movie and the lead actress gave an Oscar worthy performance of a lifetime and is also like, really hot and really funny and all, but why would they want to shill this movie on this obscure technology forum, of all places?

MargotRobbie,

That’s esteemed… generic Lemmy user who is totally not an award winning character actress to you!

MargotRobbie,

Some of you who are complaining Lemmy are seeing though rose-tinted glasses about what reddit was like back in the day. The majority of the site was never good, and it had always had plenty of embarassing/messed up things on there that you had to sift through, but it’s a different, sterile kind of bad now.

Here are a couple of reminders of what reddit was actually like, in no particular order.

  • Ron Paul
  • Faces of Atheism, "Euphoric"
  • AdviceAnimals, Rage Comics
  • Spacedicks
  • r/jailbait
  • The entire Boston bomber saga

This is why I would never admit to using reddit in public, and until recent years, I would imagine most people won’t.

So if anyone complains about how the current content on Lemmy is driving people away, remember, Lemmy is positively TAME compared to this supposedly “Golden Era” of reddit.

MargotRobbie,

@MicroWave, care to comment on your creative process?

MargotRobbie,

Speaking of monetization and propaganda, for your consideration, “Barbie”, now available on Blu-Ray and streaming services everywhere!

MargotRobbie,

Lemmy’s biggest competitor at this point isn’t reddit, it’s Discord, or rather, the monster it has become. It seems to me that instead of creating a subreddit nowadays, every project now wants to use a Discord server for everything.

The problem with that is:

  1. Asking messages in a big, open chatroom (over, say, 20 people) gets real messy, real quickly.
  2. Conversations on Discord are difficult to follow when multiple of them are going at once.
  3. The conversations containing solutions to problems in chat or threads are not search indexable, which is the reason why reddit became quietly dominant in search results, it is simply the biggest centralized repository of organized English language text conversations available.

So why do people insist on using Discord servers to build their community? Simple, it’s the network effect. If somebody wants tech support, it’s way easier to click a Discord invite on an account for group chat you already have than it is to sign up for yet another forum that you only use once. But Lemmy doesn’t suffer from that problem of traditional forums because of federation.

Which brings me to my point, if Lemmy is to grow, it’s better to sell Lemmy to disgruntled Discord admins and forum owners to move their community than it is to get people to move off reddit at this point, since people who wants to leave reddit has all done so at this point.

MargotRobbie,

I don’t know about that, I could be a dog on the Internet.

Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

MargotRobbie,

Wow, it’s almost as if actors are people who does modern people things, like having lunch breaks at work.

Somebody on Lemmy actually seriously told me that I would never eat fast food, as if we’re a different species or something.

MargotRobbie,

That’s because it’s my name, silly!

MargotRobbie,

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

MargotRobbie,

Yay I’m an Internet celebrity now!

MargotRobbie,

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

MargotRobbie,

I want to see my name in “List of Oscar winners” this year.

MargotRobbie,

I noticed there are certain people here who always seem to comment on every single post here.

How do they find the time to do this? Are they on strike from their day job or something?

MargotRobbie,

In general, drunk me is the last person I would ever trust with literally anything.

It’s like waking up in the morning and reading your own drunk text messages.

MargotRobbie,

It’s a living.
