I love how black conservatives are like, "I can't believe we're talking about whether slavery was good in 2023."

Like mf, that's all you fucking conservatives do, "How can we say that this shit behavior, was good?"

The only way to make it more popular is by having more content. Unfortunately we haven't reached the critical mass number of people that keeps people interested.

Things to note:

The company, which makes most of its money from advertising, has struggled to draw new ad commitments under Muskā€™s ownership in part because brands are concerned about Muskā€™s approach to content moderation. The advertising industry is also in a slump, and several media companies have begun offering brands discounts.

So it seems like the discounting is an industry wide thing

X also warned advertisers that beginning Aug. 7, brandsā€™ accounts will lose their verificationā€”a gold check mark that indicates their account truly represents their brandā€”if they havenā€™t spent at least $1,000 on ads in the previous 30 days or $6,000 on ads in the previous 180 days, according to the email.

And the trusted method of giving advertisers ultimatums for your dying platform lol

Whoa, crazy, never heard of a Republican do this before

Hopefully more people start using these subs šŸ„“

People who don't agree with me = retarded and groomers

I like the taste of coffee

LMAO come on, guess they didn't expect the IDF to fight back šŸ¤·šŸ½

I would love the irony if the Bible became the most banned book in America

Is he tired of winning yet? šŸ¤”

LMAO I hope the court trial is televised. I don't think he can contain himself when he knows he has an audience.

Brother, from one pirate to another, I think it would be more convenient to support your favorite podcast and they usually upload an ad free version for supporters.

Lol

I'm so glad to be able to find this community again. šŸ˜­

ā€œThis shows clearly that Russia finds itself in a situation where violating agreements with Russia has become the norm,ā€ Sergei Markov, a former Kremlin adviser, wrote on Telegram. ā€œBecause Russia does not respond. Out of humility or humanism. It needs to respond. Respond in such a way that will instill fear,ā€ Markov said.

Lol remember when Putin tried to bully Turkey out of the grain deal? Yeah I'm putting my money on Erdogan over Putin

The kids actually figured out how to log in and disable the cameras or mute notifications and then delete memory šŸ„“

Mission failed, we'll get 'em next time boys!

$5 a month to spend your time with the neck beards and power tripping mods? šŸ¤¢

At least on this side most people here aren't addicted to social media imo

It helped me figure out how to find things on the Internet that interest me.

I've actually gotten an ex-boyfriend and a free dentist appointment out of Reddit, but it was because I was part of small niche groups that helped me connect with them.

It's something I hope as Lemmy grows, it'll bring those smaller niche groups with them as well. Otherwise, it's one less resource I have available.

Asia and the Pacific - 1.582 million registered

Africa - 715,089 registered

Europe - 570,534 registered

Middle East and North Africa - 372,461 registered

Americas - 2,460 registered

These are really interesting numbers, I wonder if it has to do with immigration policies

This is the guy that used to mod the "jailbait" sub right? Looks like a creep

Can they even put anyone else in is my question.

Does Kevin McCarthy work with Democrats and his Republicans to stay as speaker

Or do Republicans backstab McCarthy and vote a Democrat speaker.

Idk but I don't imagine regular Republicans voting in a Democrat speaker, and this story is telling me that Democrats won't support Kevin either šŸ¤·šŸ½

She hates America so much

Let me get the world's smallest violin real quick

Apparently we're to call it an "X". A retweet will not be an "rxm" or some stupid nonsense like that

That's the struggle at first, getting a deluge of users that keep people both entertained, AND posting content.

Unfortunately I don't think we've reached that number of users yet and it throws us into a vicious cycle of losing users who were also posters.

I'm not sure how to grow it on our end, other than continuing to contribute to the communities, but I do know that if Reddit keeps following Elon's business decisions, they may end up losing many users as well.

Thank you.

Only country where these happen regularly, days there's nothing that can be done.

Yeah, in Mastodon I follow specific accounts that I like to hear from.

In Lemmy I'm in communities to get the latest info on a topic, like the composting community I just found lol

I did not know she was in her 70s šŸ˜³

I have some MAGA family who brush away all these indictments by saying, "The deep state doesn't want him to win."

I have no idea what it's going to take for these cultists to drop their Trump

I feel like we're in it lately with: the lab grown meat, 3D printing building and drones, CRISPR technology, and even something as "basic" as our smartphones.

At this point the only thing that I'm waiting for is space travel šŸ˜Ž

Edit: ugh, just read the rest of the responses and people are such bummers

Needs to drop off the planet tbh

Ideally we would want people to switch because they want to, not because their preferred one died imo.

The only way I can see convincing the average person would be if we have a thriving community and content.

I feel like there's a lot more queer focused instances available. Tbh that would most likely make it easier for queer people, and those more accepting of them, to easily and comfortably move to an instance.

ALSO, makes it that much easier to get banned if you're even slightly conservative imo. Imo we won't see many conservatives until we get a Steven Crowder or Daily Wire Instance.
