I remember r/FatPeopleHate, where people who hated fat people went to look at pictures of very very fat people, with diseased bodies, lots of exposed folded skin, all of that.
The pictures they ended up bringing to r/all were truly awful.
I wonder if they're still doing that. Somewhere out there, 5 000 guys and girls sharing pictures of fat people, looking at them, and talking about how much they hate looking at them.
There is no irony on the internet. /c/enoughmuskspam is just spreading more Musk spam. Communities where users make fun of their racist uncle's memes are just spreading racist memes.
Yeah... It's been a minute now so idk what's happening there now, but /r/terriblefacebookmemes always had an unsettling amount of people in the comments that just agreed with the messed up memes. In particular, that subreddit almost lost all degree of civility every time a fucked up meme about trans people was shared... That really brought the assholes outta the woodwork
I actually kind of like hearing about his ongoing effort to waste billions of dollars and destroy his own platform, but the community is definitely misnamed. It contributes more Musk-related content than the rest of Lemmy put together.
Yeah, I’m interested in the occasional Musk story if something significant happens, but every little thing he does is talked about to death at this point by both people who love him and people who hate him.
Hate the guy as much as you want, there’s no denying that he’s got a lot of news outlets and people giving him attention. And positive or negative, that’s exactly what he wants.
That community fails to understand Musk operates in “any publicity is good publicity” nowadays so it ironically helps him. Blocking that community was the best thing I did and recommend everyone do.
