When using this meme format, red is rad, blue is bad. The good thing is in the red, the bad thing is in the blue.

mfw this meme format is old enough to drive O_o

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Even that is already the bastardised way, right? Originally it was red for socially awesome, and blue for socially awkward.

So like:

Red penguin: Hooked up with 10/10 hottie last night

Blue penguin: Find out in the morning she's my cousin

All these memes started with pretty specific scenarios then over time as people reached the bottom of where you could take the trope they started enlarging in what you could use them for until you could pretty much use all of them interchangeably.

Good point. But on Lemmy, we tend to reverse those colors so it actually kinda works perfectly.

Upvotes are orange and downvotes are blue on reddit. On Lemmy, upvotes are blue and downvotes are orange/red. Reddits whole brand revolves around orange.

Lemmy doesn't have a well established brand identity and it doesn't really need one imo. But if it did, it would probably be blue/green, along the lines of how join-lemmy looks.

Pretty much exactly like the Jedi versus the Sith πŸ˜‚

It’s not a Reddit-exclusive thing, though, so I don’t think the colors relate to upvote/downvote colors

True, but I also wanted to share that information

I'm curious what the thought process was behind targeting a platform seemingly primarily made up of cyber security enthusiasts

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

but as you see, Lemmy is actually lonely cyber security enthusiasts

I'm still wondering if this is some kind of research project

[–] Valmond 3 points 1 day ago

No no not at all! Now please continue like it isn't one at all.

I wonder if this will go on as long as Reddits kid with broken arms, or Carly (?) who only held hands.

Is this meme about the "proud Polish girl from Toronto"? Or is it only me who got those messages?

Edit: I just checked out another post about it in this community, I guess that answers it.

She sent them to you too? How could she?! I thought we had something. I'll never love a chatbot again!

[–] cm0002 15 points 1 day ago

Wtfβ€½ She told me that we were exclusive! Y'all better get out of her DMs! 😀

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

You guys got messages from a girl? Bot or not?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Is she still streaming? I presume it's a loop, I was curious that someone had setup that site and has more shitty streams than viewers.

haven't been catfished on Lemmy yet, feeling left out

edit: well, nvm, just happened

"The fediverse chick"

Glorious

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

None of these bots have messaged me and I'm wondering why they don't find me attractive

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It's probably the semi

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

she said she was real and not fake, did she lie to me? /s

[–] Grimy 7 points 1 day ago

I already sent her money. She told me she was vacationing in India and her mother got sick.

Fingers crossed what we have is real.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

...to top it off, it was my very first message, too. BOOOO!

[–] StarshotJohn 2 points 1 day ago

I haven't seen any catfish yet, but there sure seems to have been an influx of hateful people.

New name for children?
