Let me get this straight:

1. Person A makes a social network
2. People flock to it
3. Person A sells the social network to person B
4. Networks does a 180, destroying communitie; people outraged.
5. Same person A makes a social network
6. People flock to it.
7. [surely we can predict what is going to happen here, right?]

Yeah, they’ve implemented this a while ago, this year IIRC. People are on old information bashing Mastodon.

Lmao, morons gonna moron and on and on…

Yeah, the news-media is salivating on all the clicks it’s receiving right now.

Almost if it’s benefiting them that Trump was elected. Hmm.

They should make riots illegal.

The job of the police is to enforce law and government decree without violence. Violence is just a tool they have access to, but it doesn’t mean it should be used for every kid and granny.

“Illegal protest”

“Uhm, guys, could you please wait until the war is over to protest against genocide in Palestine? Otherwise we’ll kick your teeth in.”

Bunch of weirdoes being weird.

NSFW warning please.
Posting two dickheads just like that…

The fact that this is an actual possibility is absolutely hilarious.

At this point you’re having an imaginary conversation with your imaginary people. You’re trying to put words in my mouth and you’re failing miserably.

…my multiple advanced degrees in mathematics…
…cybersecurity and AI…
LMAO. Truly LMAO.

Why are you insulting me for disagreeing with you?

I’m insulting you because you’re arguing in bad faith on purpose

Why is it that everyone who disagrees with you is a foreign agent?

Is this “everyone” in the room with you right now? Nowhere in our exhange did I call you an agent or a troll. I did call you a simp though.

How am I being pro Russia? I called them oligarchic AND pointed out that any strength implied by that graph is due from war expenditures and not some underlying strength.

if PPP wasn’t a useful indicator of purchasing power, it probably wouldn’t be called purchasing power parity and be published by the World Bank.

That’s not how statistics and data work at all.

My only claim here is that it would be silly to waste time on Lemmy when there are bigger and easier fish to fry. I’m not even denying Russian propagandists exist and called Tim Pool a shill.

Because russia is known to be a mastermind expanding galaxy brain. No silly decisions there.

I am incredibly amused that this somehow adds up to being a Russian troll rather than someone who can hear and acknowledge opinions that are different than my own.

Your weird fantasy again

Good luck with the whole fascism thing. I’m sure your echo chamber will win the election next time!

No u

I’m not blaming the graphs you dunce. Read again.

Okay, you use the “metric” that makes most sense to you. Best, keep those metrics and comparisons to yourself.

It must be exhausting to live like that.

Why? I don’t give two shits about them. They’re a waste of blood and organs, I tag them and move on with my life. Just like christo-fashist muricans.

It must be exhausting being a simp for russia though. Trying to squeeze out every “positive” graph and putting so much effort into trying to prove that ‘russia stronk bliat’ should be exhausting.

Oh, so NOW we’re taking into account population?

So, by your own link, russia has not surpassed Japan, no.

Either way, “economic output” is what I give zero shits about. It’s quality of life what matters. Everything else is statistical wank for finance bros.

Not sure why you brought up incorrect comparisons of russia’s economy to a conversation about their fiscal responsibility, which has been proven to be idiotic (as it often is in autocratic oligarchies)

Oh wow, you found a metric where russia better, besides alcoholism!

By PPP metric India is better off than Germany, France and UK combined.

When you’re sanctioned to shit, you probably don’t have a lot of alternatives of what you can and cannot buy…

You’re comparing “Local Market” data, when talking about puchasing ads from X and Facebook…

Congrats, you’ve earned youself a tag.

Wtf are you on about. Japan’s GDP is more than twice as big as russias. Both per capita and annual.

I’m telling you that russia does not give a fuck about effectiveness.

Do you know how much it costs to start a war? Do you think russia is a fiscally responsible terrorist organisation?

Joke-country. Exists purely for the lulz.

The OP in that screenshot even sounds insufferable through text. Can’t imagine what a dickhole they’re in real life.
