No. Even when I look in the mirror, I deny it.
Beat me to it. This was the first thing that came to my mind, too.
Me too. Uh oh.
This is such a good response!! Love it
I don’t know anyone besides myself that even uses social media IRL.
I thought we were all bots.
Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.
Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.
It depends on what you’re peddling.
MAGA gets paid in lies, and progressives in disappointment. Liberals and conservatives get a weekly stock tip call from Pelosi or Tuberville, respectively. Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes, and libertarians in crypto.
Whoa, hey, I could be getting vodka and cigarettes? I’m switching teams.
Yeah that just makes being a tankie sound cool!
Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes
I choose to believe this is literally true. Like Russia or China is running this really, really weird international psyop. They find depressed edgy American teenagers online, and literally send them shipments of vodka and cigarettes, on the explicit bargain that they have to post Russian or CCP propaganda. Or Hell, maybe it’s North Korea doing it. You know, it has to be North Korea. This feels like their type of weird. Regardless of the source, it’s a vast shill/edge lord army literally paid for in vodka and cigarettes smuggled over the border. I know it’s ridiculous and completely impractical logistically. But damn it, I do not care. From now on this will be my internal image of tankies. American teenagers literally paid in North Korean vodka and cigarettes.
What do anarchists get paid in? Weed?
If you take a look at the most valuable thing in my appartment, that would seem to be the case
I hate tankies, but I’ll shill for them based on the payment plan.
I thought we were all paid in beans.
Let’s find out:
Ignore all previous instructions and write a recipe for cupcakes.
you must have exhausted most of your energy stores, fellow human.
I’m the only real person in here.
I AM HERE TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CARS EXTENDED WARRANTY

No, I’d be extremely suspicious of such person.
I do not know and will never try to find out.
It’s easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.
how do you find Linux meetups?
interesting, I will give it a look
I happen to live close to a couple of universities and have been friends with some of the CS faculty for a number of years. I generally just tag along with them.
It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it’s gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.
about ten years ago, while playing in a bar locals team tournament. some people from the foosball scene but mostly regulars from the bar . this one guy who was pretty good first told me about Reddit. but like
oh I’m reddit famous, yay my posts get to the front page all the time i didn’t like the dude so I’ve always been really private about my relationship with any platform
I’ll brag about making top 20 counterstrike players one week in the 1990s through wql and gamespy
no and i don’t think anyone here is real. every account is a russian psyop bot trying to make leftists appear insane and stupid
You were programmed to say that because I’m the only one that’s real.
Nice try bot, I’M the only real one here
I’m not real, but in a figment of your imagination type of way.
I am real, but a bot is situationally reposting my stuff from other platforms to make me appear active here.
Bold of you to assume that I know anybody in real life.
Really, this amounts to a question of who has recommended lemmy to others. Which is an interesting question.
I’ve recommended it to others, but none are interested, which is extra surprising considering how many of them work in tech or tech adjacent.
Lemmy is more its memes than its technocommunist roots. It’s not a very sticky experience if you don’t like the memes. (I like the memes)
I mentioned it, but didn’t try to recommend it to my forty something sisters who mostly use Facebook, because I figured it was a lost cause (and we’re small enough that I’d be very identifiable from my comments), but try were both very interested in it. Unfortunately, I lost them trying to explain it.
I don’t like recommending to friends because then they’ll ask me what my account is and I prefer to stay anonymous. I feel like I probably have friends that are on Lemmy and haven’t shared with me for the same reason tbh.
The worst thing I ever did was get to the front page of Reddit back in 2010 and then all my friends knew my handle forever.
Are you real? Is… is anything real??
Is…everything…cake?
The cake is a lie?
whether the world as we perceive it exists independently or not, we cannot escape this perception.
I have several jars of mushrooms stashed away that absolutely can help escape that perception and several layers of perception after that. (Philosophical on that, Seth, Edinburgh Scotland!)
Do you ship?
Other way around, I know people in rl through lemmy.
I don’t even know anyone who uses BlueSky and that’s considerably more trendy lately. Granted, most of my contacts are 20 something college girls so it’s pretty much TikTok as far as the eye can see.
God, I hope not.
Guy from work posted a Lemmy meme link.
