I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

I swear to the gods, proprietary software is going to be the end of civilization...

Holy shit we just witnessed Lemmy culture 🥲

Fuck that's good

Brah, I'm not a normie. That's why we're talking on Lemmy. /s

Except it's not. It's real easy to learn you can choose any instance you're welcome to. Normies are the ones choosing not to learn.

I do feel sorry for them because they're probably going to get pushed to the next billionaires social media in the next decade to be exploited there too.

Unless I'm completely missing something? What's so bad about the design? I'm pretty dumb and uneducated and I dig me some federated social media purely because it's genuine compared to the owning class social media.

I prefer Embrace, extend, and extinguish

While I agree with you. I don't think Mastodon is user unfriendly I think of it as a normie blocker. That being said, bluesky is owning class social media, I expect the enshittification to start now that they have a million + users.

This bean does back ally dental. You got a Calendly or something so I can get on your schedule?

Just keep shit posting
