6·2 天前Me and some friends wrote an outline for a zombie movie years ago from the viewpoint of the zombies. They see themselves as cultured and “normal” while the living are viewed as savages who waste their lives working, keeping up with the Jones’ and addicted to stupid stuff like reality TV. It would have been done in the style of The Office/What We Do In the Shadows, with a film crew following around a small group of Zombies who explain their lives. The zombies would have a very close-knit socialist/utopia type lifestyle while us stupid living lived in a right-wing 'murica hellscape.
If I was rich, I would be signing over a 500M budget over to you right now
Sadly, I’m just a Lemming :'(
You know what else is X? MY MOM WOOOYEAAAA
Lol sure, it has absolutely nothing to do with the authoritarian regimes they worship that are just Communists-In-Name-Only/s
167·5 天前Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it’s just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) “oversight”.
Funny how their “oversights” just so happen to have benefits to their efforts to push authoritarianism
11·6 天前If it’s the first, this is about to be fucking hilarious
It’s by Sako Asko, https://www.instagram.com/sakoasko but the original doesn’t have any words to it, it looks just like a template already lol
It’s the artist’s thing, they also made the crying guy in shallow water meme
I’m hoping that !meshtastic@mander.xyz will need to a rebirth of that sort lol
106·13 天前is like ‘burning the Library of Congress’
Don’t fucking give them any ideas
7·13 天前Just as the prophecy foretold!
It’s not, the needles or whatever are way to consistent, even in the darker areas. AI would have fucked all that up
Also, it’s a basement well window, I have one of these as well. So OP would be standing on the side of the window in his house and the pinecone is on the other side in the fire escape well
Think of it like looking into a really big terrarium
151·14 天前Well at least it’s “just” software issues, software can always be fixed, but hardware issues are usually only fixable by needing to buy a new version lol
9·15 天前Rule of Acquisition #148
4·16 天前An hour late :( lmao

This is a little confusing because you also re-post* questions from non-.ml users. [example] [example] [example] I guess you mean you’re copying questions that were posted by people on any instance to communities hosted on lemmy.ml. Yes?
Yea, I only monitor .ml comms, specifically I monitor the RSS feed provided by .ml
*(I say re-post because you do it without using the cross-post feature, so we can’t see the sources.)
I think I now understand what you’re trying to do, but I’m skeptical. As someone on the receiving end of your copypasta, what I see is a flood of posts from a single account dominating some of the forums that I frequent. The pattern resembles that of a bot, casts an unauthentic tint on the content of your posts, and makes the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiving communities look pretty bad.
This is only true for text-only posts, like this and is why I prepend with the “Original question by”. Articles/memes/images do in fact show in the crosspost menu chain

Even as someone who prefers to avoid the tankie instances, I suspect that what you are doing is likely more harmful than helpful to the other ones. I have been considering unsubscrbing because of it. And, since you are bridging content from the problematic place, I think a case can be made that your effort is counterproductive to your own goals. After all, why would people migrate away from lemmy.ml if they know they can post there and have their words reach other instances as well?
The vast majority of users…just don’t care, they simply follow where the activity is. I do monitor data points where I can, when I began months ago .ml memes would hover between #13-16 ranking among the Threadiverse. Now? ~30, .ml traffic overall is down. When I started, each morning I’d have to sift through 6-7 pages of new posts. Now it’s < 3
Ofc, I’m doing many other things behind the scenes as well contributing to that. But overall, considering the bulk of what is reposted isn’t text-based, it’s been fairly positive
As an alternative, might I suggest contributing your time to boosting awareness and membership of non-ml communities? This would be a more organic approach, and perhaps slower, but I think the results would be better. Take !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com for example. It was pretty quiet until recently, but after a little promotion and participation from a few interested people, activity there seems to be rising quite a bit.
Oh believe me, I’m taking a multifaceted approach. Individual reach out, OC content, organically sourced articles, harvesting of “The Bad Place”, documentation and promotion
I often aim for a 1-2 ratio, for every 1 crosspost I try to contribute 2 posts of “organic content”, however that is subject to fluctuation, since this is filled from my hobby time. The weekend particularly has the least free time to dedicate
LMAO
Sure buddy sure, whatever you gotta tell yourself to sleep at night ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can’t “farm” upvotes on Lemmy, it’s simply not designed for it
What? You’ve been here long enough to know that “karma” doesn’t really exist here like that and “karma farming” is utterly pointless here.
Did you even read any of the comment? It’s pretty clearly explained
step 5: There are now 57 other ones out there lol
