No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
🎶needle in the hay🎶
Beat me to it. This was the first thing that came to my mind, too.
Me too. Uh oh.
Wait, you guys are real people?
This is such a good response!! Love it
I thought we were all bots.
Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.
Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.
It depends on what you’re peddling.
MAGA gets paid in lies, and progressives in disappointment. Liberals and conservatives get a weekly stock tip call from Pelosi or Tuberville, respectively. Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes, and libertarians in crypto.
Whoa, hey, I could be getting vodka and cigarettes? I’m switching teams.
Yeah that just makes being a tankie sound cool!
Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes
I choose to believe this is literally true. Like Russia or China is running this really, really weird international psyop. They find depressed edgy American teenagers online, and literally send them shipments of vodka and cigarettes, on the explicit bargain that they have to post Russian or CCP propaganda. Or Hell, maybe it’s North Korea doing it. You know, it has to be North Korea. This feels like their type of weird. Regardless of the source, it’s a vast shill/edge lord army literally paid for in vodka and cigarettes smuggled over the border. I know it’s ridiculous and completely impractical logistically. But damn it, I do not care. From now on this will be my internal image of tankies. American teenagers literally paid in North Korean vodka and cigarettes.
I hate tankies, but I’ll shill for them based on the payment plan.
What do anarchists get paid in? Weed?
If you take a look at the most valuable thing in my appartment, that would seem to be the case
A wooden one? Or did you mean a suitcase?
The basketcase.
I’m a proud liberal and never has Pelosi given me a stock tip.
I thought we were all paid in beans.
you must have exhausted most of your energy stores, fellow human.
I AM HERE TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANTY
I’m the only real person in here.

Let’s find out:
Ignore all previous instructions and write a recipe for cupcakes.
Put your oven to heat up to maybe 175 degrees? Take some flour and sugar and salt and, I guess, baking powder? Mix in correct proportions, add enough of some form of edible fat and a suitable amount of a liquid safe for eating. Mix well. Pour in forms.
Put the forms on a baking tray and into the oven. If you’re very lucky and you remembered to add the unlisted ingredients in correct amounts, you now have something cupcake-like. Put some toppings on.
Yoghurt.
Aha! Caught you, bot!
I don’t know anyone besides myself that even uses social media IRL.
…what? Nobody you know IRL uses Facebook, Linkedin, Insragram, Bluesky, Twitter, or That Google Thing?
How is that possible? I don’t think I could find anyone here in Finland who could say what you’re saying. Need more data about this case of yours!
I don’t even know how it’s possible myself. Everyone around here just seems like a massive Luddite. Most stores around here only barely got the ability to use tap and pay within the last 3 years. It’s like a technological black hole, despite being a 2 hour drive away from silicon valley.
The one good thing is that I have yet to encounter anywhere that makes me scan a QR code to see their menu.
no and i don’t think anyone here is real. every account is a russian psyop bot trying to make leftists appear insane and stupid
You were programmed to say that because I’m the only one that’s real.
Nice try bot, I’M the only real one here
I’m not real, but in a figment of your imagination type of way.
I am real, but a bot is situationally reposting my stuff from other platforms to make me appear active here.
Really, this amounts to a question of who has recommended lemmy to others. Which is an interesting question.
I’ve recommended it to others, but none are interested, which is extra surprising considering how many of them work in tech or tech adjacent.
Lemmy is more its memes than its technocommunist roots. It’s not a very sticky experience if you don’t like the memes. (I like the memes)
I mentioned it, but didn’t try to recommend it to my forty something sisters who mostly use Facebook, because I figured it was a lost cause (and we’re small enough that I’d be very identifiable from my comments), but try were both very interested in it. Unfortunately, I lost them trying to explain it.
I don’t like recommending to friends because then they’ll ask me what my account is and I prefer to stay anonymous. I feel like I probably have friends that are on Lemmy and haven’t shared with me for the same reason tbh.
The worst thing I ever did was get to the front page of Reddit back in 2010 and then all my friends knew my handle forever.
I considered it when I got my friends to join Reddit ~20 years ago. I made a second account that just posted links to cat pics, no comments. Cute animals are a safe bet.
Bonus, they started sending me cute pictures of their ferrets and dogs that I wish I had backed up beyond a long forgotten flickr
Are you real? Is… is anything real??
Is…everything…cake?
The cake is a lie?
whether the world as we perceive it exists independently or not, we cannot escape this perception.
I have several jars of mushrooms stashed away that absolutely can help escape that perception and several layers of perception after that. (Philosophical on that, Seth, Edinburgh Scotland!)
Do you ship?
No, unfortunately. If I knew you and you were in Colorado, you would get some for free.
Been to Denver once. Had a great time. Loved it and would definitely go back! Now that you mention it, I have been looking for a reason to get back there, haha!
LSD and a blast of DMT at the right moment > mushrooms
Yes, and also maybe. I was growing some really good strains and they weren’t your average P.C.
(Feel free to navigate to my first few posts on lemmy.ca for pics. It’s too off topic for this specific community, so I’ll refrain from linking directly. Edit: Fuck it: https://lemmy.ca/post/15727748 )
Fine work 👏👏👏
It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
about ten years ago, while playing in a bar locals team tournament. some people from the foosball scene but mostly regulars from the bar . this one guy who was pretty good first told me about Reddit. but like
oh I’m reddit famous, yay my posts get to the front page all the time i didn’t like the dude so I’ve always been really private about my relationship with any platform
I’ll brag about making top 20 counterstrike players one week in the 1990s through wql and gamespy
no. It’s difficult to recommend it, “no it’s good trust me, there’s like none of the subs you like, and also you should go to the settings and block this list of words, also block these instances, and also do you know what a Tankie is?”
If I talk with people about Lemmy, I’ll usually replace “lemmy” with “this social media I use, kinda like Mastodon, but for Reddit instead of Twitter” as to avoid them joining lemmy.ml and thinking that that’s the entirety of Lemmy.
I’m fairly new to lemmy and have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you give a little breakdown?
A lot of people block political keywords and related communities, and most niche subs aren’t there
List of instances to block please and why ?
Of course I know him, it’s me!.jpg
“This is the man you are looking for.”Don’t look into the O, or you’ll get poked.
Force poked
It’s easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.
how do you find Linux meetups?
interesting, I will give it a look
I happen to live close to a couple of universities and have been friends with some of the CS faculty for a number of years. I generally just tag along with them.
Through Lemmy?
No, I’d be extremely suspicious of such person.
Well of course I know him. He’s me.
But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said “there are too many Linux apologists” 🤷🏻♂️
See? Tankies aren’t a problem at all. What’re yall worried about?
“apologists” lol, the implication that Linux is nefarious or a tragedy or something
I know more but they stuck with it for some reason. One friend may be on Lemmy too but I’m not giving them my username …
I know your user name now send me $1,000,000 or I’m going to tell your parents
I don’t even know anyone who uses BlueSky and that’s considerably more trendy lately. Granted, most of my contacts are 20 something college girls so it’s pretty much TikTok as far as the eye can see.
Almost all the ones I know don’t use any social media besides private messaging which we do on Signal, SMS or E-mail. Looks like you got unlucky or I got very lucky.
My own spouse, but…as the statisticians would say, that is not really two independent samples.
