She/Her, Also @MargotRobbie

Academy Award nominated character actress, clown psychiatrist, Duchess of Bay Ridge, and plastic doll.

She is all of us, yet I’m not her, but sometimes I play her on TV.

So what will be my ending?

I blame Ryan Gosling.

Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

I noticed there are certain people here who always seem to comment on every single post here.

How do they find the time to do this? Are they on strike from their day job or something?

Yay I'm an Internet celebrity now!

Some of you who are complaining Lemmy are seeing though rose-tinted glasses about what reddit was like back in the day. The majority of the site was never good, and it had always had plenty of embarassing/messed up things on there that you had to sift through, but it's a different, sterile kind of bad now.

Here are a couple of reminders of what reddit was actually like, in no particular order.

  • Ron Paul
  • Faces of Atheism, "Euphoric"
  • AdviceAnimals, Rage Comics
  • Spacedicks
  • r/jailbait
  • The entire Boston bomber saga

This is why I would never admit to using reddit in public, and until recent years, I would imagine most people won't.

So if anyone complains about how the current content on Lemmy is driving people away, remember, Lemmy is positively TAME compared to this supposedly "Golden Era" of reddit.

Speaking of monetization and propaganda, for your consideration, "Barbie", now available on Blu-Ray and streaming services everywhere!

Let's look at some numbers and do some napkin math:

Currently, the top post of Lemmy can usually get a little more than 2K upvotes, which puts Lemmy at about late 2010 to early 2011 reddit level of activity, which is right before reddit hits its explosive growth phase in 2012 with SOPA, Kony, and the Obama AMA. While active user count has been going down, the amount of post and comments have both been steadily going up.

You also have to realize that in more than a decade, there was never a reddit alternative that has EVER hit this level of activity. (unless you count 9gag or the_donald for some reason.)

Accidentally become the main character not just in every single movie I'm in, but on social media this time.

Why does this keep happening to me?

(and still no Oscar. Sigh.)

I use Arch by the way.

We could do that for the inevitable sequel...

Only if I play the duck though.

Literally me making sure the rest of Lemmy enjoy my latest movie, now also available on streaming.

Why else do you think I'm everywhere here?

I don't really know how people can even use YouTube without ad blockers. Sitting through minutes of advertisement is not going to make me want to buy your product if I start mentally associating your product with frustration and annoyance. If these video ads are going to be repetitive and annoying, at least make them funny.

It seems like there is nowhere on the Internet to get away from ads currently, even here, where you thought you are safe, you are now reading an ad for my newest movie (you know the one), now also available on streaming!

I'm not cheap, I'm frugal, there is a difference.

Paying Google for them to stop shoving ads in my face doesn't feel like a good purchase and I don't want to support that kind of behavior, and I'm smart enough to use uBlock Origin and ReVanced (Little bit of a struggle though.)

It's more about principle than anything else.

Have you watched the ending of that movie? Refusing to participate in a broken system is always an option.

If you would like to support your favorite creators, buying their merchandise or donating to them would be far more effective.
