    Communism. Americans decided they would fight KKK and Nazism with the same vigor and discovered that communism was way better.

      I was elated when reddit announced they blocked 3rd party apps, gently but affirmingly guiding me to the ads. It always makes my day better to browse through some targeted ads with my content on the side, like a balanced breakfast meal. The dopamine rush I get from buying plastic objects off of Amazon is just too damn good. Thank god for these changes. Bless you, spez.

    Word got out about the amazing and intuitive UI, and the ease with which you can find and subscribe to your interests. Personally, I’m never going back to AOL.

    The transdusing trinometer was incorrectly orientated resulting in a near waveform collapse. Of course, this resulted in micro collisions in the electrophase limiter. Resulting in the redirection of significant portions of the redditoids to lemmy.

    Our lizard overlords have activated subliminal messaging to bring us all together under the guise of normal humans being normal.

    ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the ‘Anti Personnel Incendiary’ system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn’t be controlling weapons systems.

    The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to “Lemmy: Discorse is Magic” all the time “ironically.” There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they “hated” Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Broemmys.

    Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gaggers coming to Lemmy but didn’t know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be… Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.

    Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good band who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gaggers who used to think it was a joke.

    The name Lemmy is seeing a revival for newborns. As parents look up the name and its meaning, they find lemmy instances and end up going down the rabbit hole.

      ‘Lemmy, what a great baby name. It’s short for Lemming, which means “independent free thinker” but only on opposite day. What do you think, darling?’
