Dam you weren’t f’in around, literally $450 retail LMAO

Ew a .world comm - https://lemy.lol/post/64706806

You’ll still have to connect it to the network and it’ll (probably) have its own remote

Lol they actually do make “universal” remotes with oodles of buttons that work with all the standard streaming boxes

I picked up a used Sony TV (Android TV) and the standard remote is what you’d expect, but it didn’t come with it so I decided to see if there was one with buttons I could buy instead when I was looking for it’s replacement

Imagine my surprise when there was lmao

I also saw some for Rokus and firetvs

Thanks, that’s cool I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyways lmfao

Is there a continuation or is that last nightmare panel it lol

I…I thought it was LMAO

Don’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

Some highlights from the link:

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

Showing support for Ukraine on .ml is worthy of a site ban - dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/32775563

He shouldn’t have had to steal it, you should have been a good humon and served it to him proper!

This incident will be reported

Keep in mind, I stopped making new accounts a while ago, I have my set of stable, but small instance accounts and I just been cycling through them over and over again, if someone wanted to block them for curation, they should not have had a problem to do so by now. And I do have plenty that I don’t post from for comm making. There are also a few floating around from my imposter problem a bit ago.

I do not agree that you’re boosting other instances simply by posting from them, and I don’t think the side effect you’re creating is worth the price. Further, I would argue that most users typically do not pay attention to the instance a user is from, especially when simply upvoting a post.

You’d be surprised, Ive definitely had people ask me about instances that I’ve posted from. Especially funnier named ones like toast.ooo

Do I have hard analyzed data? No, and it’d be pretty hard to gather such, but I’m already posting a good volume so might as well take advantage to give a boost of recognition to small instances however small it may be

The cross posts do not show properly in my case, only sometimes do I see them on your posts. Luckily, clients like Boost add a link to their original post when I cross post. It makes the cross post always show.

What do you mean “better interconnecting smaller instances”? If it’s through cross posting, I doubt it, seeing as you don’t include the cross post link for maximum effect.

These 2 problems, are kinda related to each other. A big reason a crosspost won’t show, is if the other post is on a comm that isn’t federated with your instance or hasn’t pulled that specific post yet

So basically by interconnecting instances I mean I’m encountering comms that the instance hasn’t federated with yet because nobody has subscribed from their instance to it. And nobody on that instance can see content from that comm until someone subscribes to it

The volume with which I post makes it so I’m encountering lots of those comms every day and every time I subscribe to one of them then the instance I’m on starts to get content from it as well. Lemmyverse.net is basically my bff at this point, I’m always on there checking comms and deciding the best ones lol

There’s a bot that does this automatically, but it’s not part of Lemmy proper, so there’s a myriad of reasons why it’s not as effective on smaller reasons everything from the admin just hasn’t gotten around to it to they don’t even know it exists or is needed

The only other user that I’ve seen do this type of thing is Monk, and I know your views of him.

Oh yes. UM, that wonderful user lmao. Yea, but a big difference is, none of my accounts are actually banned from anywhere with the exception of .ml (but I think that’s obvious lmao)

Why use so many accounts? Don’t give me the “I’m supporting smaller instances” take. It’s not supporting smaller instances when you make them look like they’re part of your spam network.

I’ve told you before my reasons, if you choose not believe them, that’s on you, maybe you’d like me to just make something up that fits better with your predetermined narrative?

1. Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
2. Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
3. Mitigating against the imposter problem
4. Better interconnecting smaller instances

It only serves to make it look like you’re a spam network while also making it next to impossible to block your posts. Users will try to block you, think they’ve successfully curated their feeds, only to have you turn up again. It’s not a great Lemmy experience.

Unintended unfortunate side effect, if I truly wanted to dodge the people blocking me or wanted to make a “spam network” why on earth would I use a widely recognizable username? If I wanted to do such things I would generate unrelated usernames and make a million accounts that way. Each account would last much much longer. This method would be the dumbest possible implementation of it lmfao

Plus, it would be a whole hell of a lot easier to just setup shop on a larger instance and call it a day, it’s a lot more work to need to sub to all the comms these smaller instances are missing when I need to post to them, among other random small issues lol

It also is not a good look to strip any reference to the OP, cross posts exist for a reason. It just makes it look like you’re stealing people’s posts and trying to make them your own.

All crossposts show in the crosspost section of your relevant client:

Text posts which have no link to lock onto get a username tag in the post, OC gets a username tag regardless
