One of the things Tumblr did better than everyone else. It’s chained reblogs don’t resize the original post and you can watch the chain in chronological order. You could’ve seen it in screencaps made there. Sometimes it leads to really cool random collabs.

Example.

Life’s a minesweeper. You’ve guessed three eights in a row. Press another cell to continue.

It’s mainly keywords at that point. This process is sure to have steps. To step into a suspected category, to be elevated into those who are to be studied closer, you should ring some alerts.

I like the fact that a couple of times I’ve printed misheard lyrics, there were sites dedicated to that. I believe the last time it was something from RHCP that I’ve seen misattributed to another band.

What if they were hanging out with their dog or had to put down their mother? You’d be glad they haven’t got sick that weekend.

What’s with that whataboutism? I don’t care about the US. Why do your type brings it up every time, like it makes USSR’s wrongdoings more acceptable. It doesn’t. It’s rather a lesson to learn and not repeat in your country.

and the USSR had a tendency to send a massive amount of their prisoners to Siberia, which would make it difficult to help build apartment blocks several thousand miles away.

So? They built infrastructure there, yes, so it’s enormous territory can be somehow crossable. And they also built infrastructure, housing and plants\factories all over it’s territory. Gulag wasn’t just a one small camp, it’s the Main Office of Camp (Managenent), it had a lot of people to send elsewhere, based on what Kremlin wants.

You know a lot of soviet buildings was built by prison labor? Let’s make a next meme about egyptian pyramids. They look great too.

You know, it’s a universal thing. That’s what MAGA is about, that’s what Hitler pushed. Glorifying distant past no one really remembers, reinventing it, it’s fucked up, especially if it’s promoted via selective parts of it. You can’t use political stunts as a proof of anything. They sell you dreams because they can’t show something real, they can’t show important systemic improvements. In times of fuck ups, they show you that billboard, shining so bright it’s blinding, while bread prices climb 2-3x to what they were a decade ago. And people indulge in that constructed feeling of it being better before, while government can do whatever they want.

Thank you for the link.

I can imagine a couple of ways it can be obfuscated, but here in your link I’ve been reminded ActivityPub also serves Mastodon, where interactions are way less impersonal by design.

Connect app makes it work. Some are slow to implement the uniformal markdown.

As far as I know, LLMs are not that clever yet, and it would require a lot of work to automate tracking of so many targets. But a dedicated person tracking one user can see these. Unknowingly, we leave a lot of cues to know who we are. Not only patterns, but exact word-markers, like calling something by a regional-accepted name. Like how my english teachers insisted London’s metro is called Tube.

Haha. If all of us would do so, we’d sure up this usercount to combat Meta’s Threads and dying Twitter.

Do you think the government itself is involved here, or is it just volunteers? Did it occur to fediverse? I think here you are talking about reddit, right?

I’m not Indian and all I’ve seen lately are news about how bad their ecological and ethnic situations under Modi are. I’ve heard of something named like r/chodi, but mostly from drama write-ups. What’s the scale of brigading we are talking about?
