Yeah, this artist draws for the New Yorker. Not sure if this is one that made it into an issue or not though.

This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.

Exactly this. When online platforms become too homogeneous, any deviation from the typical opinions that are shared seems like a terrible, inexcusable offense that someone must do something about - thus, reinforcing the bubble.

We need to be able to disagree with each other and still get along.

Since most people are talking about the sign-up barriers, I’ll mention culture and reputation.

I love Lemmy and Mastodon, but whenever I’ve seen the fediverse brought up elsewhere, someone inevitably shuts down any curiosity by suggesting that it’s a political echo-chamber. I don’t think that’s accurate for all of it, but if that reputation is out there, we probably need to make an effort to show that there’s a broader appeal. If the average person is expecting the fediverse to be the left-wing equivalent of something like “Truth Social”, I could understand the reluctance to adopt it.

This man was a teacher and coach for 16 years who only recently became a police officer, and now he’s gone. If your first reaction to this news isn’t sadness, then I don’t know what to tell you.

A lot of people can’t see past their hate.

Ooh, and an intersection every time they cross.

That’s fantastic, lol

Is this chatgpt? I didn’t know you could have it analyze images.

Why are there so many weird fraud stories like this out of China?

Reminded me of this fake waterfall story from earlier this year.

Hikaru, obviously

The integrity in this post is off the charts.

Love to see it.
