Noone said it was entirely altruistic, but I’ll give it you for beating that strawman to death. I was initially arguing against the notion that it couldn’t be for her benefit at all. Its called nuance, and relationships take two people. I’m not sure why you jumped to rape, noones getting raped in this meme. Its not even clear the girl is actually refusing him rather than just being funny.

I never said they shouldnt come here, I said I dont understand people here wanting them to come. Most of us left those spaces for multiple reasons, one of them being the userbase.
I want those who like what we have here to want to come here, I dont want a bunch of pissed off tiktok refugees who will come in and demand we cater to their increasingly fleeting whims, slowly turning this platform into tiktok or facebook or whatever.
Its okay for communities to not fit every single demographic, and like another person stated, there are many lemmy instances all with their own appeal.
Its not even the algorithm I dont like, I’m sure I could manipulate it to how I want if I put the effort in, its the bite sized videos and even shorter comments, often single words or phrases. I can’t move on from thing to thing that quickly. The fediverse suits the pace at which I like to consume information and allows me time to think on it, and more importantly, interact with opposing views in meaningful ways.
Getting pleasure from providing pleasure does not negate that its still providing pleasure for someone else.
That would just turn the fediverse into tiktok/facebook/whatever. The whole point is that you have to engage intentionally here, which prevents you from being served things that other people/countries/companies want you to see.
Its not hard to join here, but its not going to serve up the same experience so people leave. People also follow others, so there aren’t many people on those other platforms suggesting people join them in the fediverse.
I dont understand why anyone cares if the next big social media exodus off-ramp is to the fediverse or not. A huge influx of people that dont like this style of content and how its served to them isn’t going to make this better for those who do.
“They love to virtue signal apparently, not sure how that helps us takeover their country though.”
Okay, well I have impulses to go and get drunk, do hard drugs, and attempt to sleep with random women. None of those things are close to a good idea for me.
Just because you feel drawn to something or a type of thing does not make it healthy or a good idea for that person. Taking desires and expressing them in a healthy way is important, desires dont just disappear.
I found it! Thanks for the correction!
Maybe it just came across as sort of odd but it made sense. Like someone coming here and calling themselves an americano, we probably wouldnt think they were calling themselves a coffee.
Edit: on second thought I might know why the Germans didnt get the joke…
Really? What’s the real story?
Reminds me of the famous “I am a jelly donut” line I think from JFK or whoever it was.Edit: turns out its a myth! Another poster said it below but here’s the page I found with the info: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/why-does-everybody-think-jfk-said-im-jelly-donut-180963779/
Simplest answer wins, and you could argue its not even stealing when its a display model.
It goes farther than that! The 34$ 5 pack is only that price because its already here in america to be shipped in a day or two. It came from china, where you can order the same thing for 1-5% of the price if you are willing to wait a month to receive it.
I think one of the usernames is “sexpooping”.
Can’t you just call them the shades of grey they truly are?
And why is the word “sex” censored?!
1·2 months agoOh I didnt realize it was a meme now. Fair enough!
We aren’t smarter for being here, we just are loners who didnt care who would be here. I think its important for everyone to open up more to strangers especially in multinational spaces. We saw a lot of interesting conversation for the brief time people moved from tiktok to rednote, and that type of stuff dispels misinformation better than anything. You are treating it as a personal thing but it is a social tool for a community.
