There was a lot of undeniable evidence of him being a bad person regardless of the court not being able to prove abuse beyond a reasonable doubt.

Rick and morty is not a small show by almost any metric. Funko pops also became popular right around the same time and have a massive overlap in fans, so it makes sense. Futurama was not out at the same time for the most part but there is still about a dozen funko pops from it.

Funko can just make tons of unique models really cheaply, and they know fans will buy them to collect like beanie babies, so of course they'll keep churning out different versions of the same characters of one of the most popular nerd cartoons that their own fans love.

Yeah as bad as it may sound, I kind of like that it's not as easy to get into as reddit's official app or tiktok or whatever. A barrier to entry can help quality. It doesn't stop all the toxic assholes but it helps slow down the onslaught of braindead echo chambers and circlejerks that reddit has turned.

I can't stand lemmy grad and I hope every instance defederates soon. They're absolute scum of the earth edgelord contrarians and nothing more.

Yep, that and people bringing along all the mindless echo chambers and circlejerking I was hoping to leave behind on reddit.

People hated reddit for these reasons, and many of us left reddit for these reasons, and now these toxic assholes are doing everything they can to make lemmy just like reddit.

I wish those people would just stay on reddit. If they want to make lemmy like reddit why did they even leave??

But this is not at all how the vast majority of people use the terms. In a time where people can barely communicate as it is, at what point is it harmful to stick to definitions barely anyone still uses in the US?

Is this definition of "leftists" widely accepted? I always thought that word was just another word for liberal or anyone who isn't right wing these days.

That would kill small instances though, definitely personal ones for those who want to run their own. Once places like lemmy and kbin get big enough there is no way they're going to go through and hand-federate every tiny new instance that pops up. There'd be no way to tell which ones are personal and which ones would be used for manipulation?

I wish those people understood the full history of Apple making every effort of creating this problem on purpose to create this effect. They've done everything in their power to stop any standard being introduced between the OSes and to introduce features that create this "iPhone vs others" clique bullshit.

Yet these kids and even adults act like it's an android problem. I hate how corporations always win like this, they know exactly how to manipulate people and it works.

Yeah that'll solve everything.
