    Reminds me of that post where they were in awe of (I believe it was) Ozzy Osbourne, and hoped someone signed him.

    EDIT: It was when Post Malone featured Ozzy on a track.

            I’m waiting for the day Jimmy Wales gets fed up and sells Wikipedia to Amazon and every page has an Amazon link to “great products matching your interests.” Can we have internet 2.0 now? One without companies and just all the weird people from the first internet who made shitty webcomics and shared waaaaaay too much about their personal lives.

            Anytime it gets mentioned there’s always some neckbeard who defines anything on the internet as social media making that exact comment too. “Lemmy is social media hehehe” as if there’s no difference between this and and FB.

              Just because it is different from Facebook, it does not make it non-social.

                But the point is, almost every page on the internet has a social aspect now. It’s all about engagement. Is NYT social media? They have arguments in the comment section under every article. Is healthline social media?

                  Good points. I would say those are examples of webpages with social media elements. I guess it is about focus of the website. NYT focus is news. Lemmy? Interaction between users. At least for me. I just can’t call lemmy a news aggregator.

            Any media that allows you to be social is a social media.

            Just because we use fake names doesn’t change much about it. We are all still discussing things like the social beings we are.

              By that logic any comment section on a news site is social media. If any kind of interaction with other people while consuming some kind of content on the internet qualifies the term is meaningless

            And then the next days, news were all about teens who committed suicide (or failed to, ending up as vegetables) in a similar fashion.

            That was weird.

                  Yeah I was also really surprised by the contagiousness of suicide. When I first saw the article I linked I thought “how cruel they won’t give a student a space in the yearbook, it would help the grieving family so much”. Then I read it all and it made sense. I feel horrible for those families but at the same time they likely don’t want to be responsible for other families suffering what they have gone through just to have a photo of their child in the yearbook.

            I don’t remember how I heard about it, but I was in the middle of my “fuck everyone and everything people enjoy” phase of being a teenager, so I was probably happy about it unfortunately.

              I was 14 and I remember it quite well. All us teens in the park behind our apartment building had long discussion about it. I also remember all the copy cat suicides that followed his death to.

      Kurt Cobain would have utterly hated Chaya Raichik. I don’t know about Kris Noviselic (apparently he’s gotten a bit weird politically) but I’d bet Dave Grohl despises her.

        For anyone wondering, Chaya Raichik is the reactionary ghoul who runs Libs of TikTok. I actually had no idea this was a semi-famous person until you actually made a comment about them.

      This bitch is as dumb as she is xenophobic. She lives in California but for some fucking reason is on the Oklahoma Library Media Advisory Committee for equally xenophobic dumbass Ryan Walters. (Mostly hunting for materials they don’t like in our school libraries and classes, probably LGBT inclusive material)

      The question is less whether or not this is/was rage bait, and more if this is/was real. Considering she has said and shared far worse on her ‘Libs of TikTok,’ I wholeheartedly believe it was real. It’s right up her alley.

        Well, in this specific instance she’s a known bigot and all around bad person because of her targeting the queer community. Also, her interviews trying to defend this behavior do not show her in a very positive light. All I’m saying is that if basically anyone else had posted it, there would probably not be this strong of a reaction.
