In case you're looking, there's this one, and probably others on the same instance (I am not subscribed, but counted like 8 posts within the past 24 hours, so probably enough traffic to start a discussion if you want): https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv

How about some modernist classical music? The more discordant stuff by Shostakovich and Stravinsky would be more or less in period, and suitably sinister. Also, some of it is quite epic. I'd look for symphonies or ballets rather than chamber music.
Megoosa is the best (or, more likely, worst, lol). Geese are scary af when I run into them in the park, because they are way taller and louder than expected, and they strut right up to me like, "Hey, I know you've got bread. Hand it over, or we will peck off all your minor appendages."
Yeah, no /s, this would be a good use of AI.
That's a good point. There's a big scoop of entitlement there. Douchebags all the way down.
Initially, I expect you're right, but advertisers also monitor whether users see ads, click on them, and make purchases once they click. Advertisers might not drop it as fast as users, but they will eventually go where the users go.
I think this is where the big numbers came from, yeah. That, and cleverly pushing up the launch date to practically the same day Elon limited access to Twitter, so everyone was looking for doomscroll methadone.
This is a good point. It makes me wonder if maybe "engagement" isn't going to be a metric for whether Threads succeeds or fails. (Other things I have read suggests that it's hot garbage in ways other than lack of dialogue, so I still think people are dropping it, but they might be able to fix those things).
We were younger. There's no shame in being young, and liking things then that seem stupid now.
And, unless your Playstation is broken, less fun.
...wait, scratch, that, even if your Playstation is broken, he's less fun.
If it makes you feel better, I probably understand Lemmy less well than you, so if you're a misfit, so am I, lol. I see my role here as "someone to put words in the databases other people build."
None, but they do get a +1 on page views and other use metrics. It's not a big deal, but it's more than nothing.
