    I can’t tell if this is a serious question or not, but it’s pretty complicated to fully explain. The short of the long of it is that now that MySpace has started to use retina verification for their 2FA, people are upset that it’s an invasion of privacy due to the reflective nature of human ball eyes. Since Lemmy only requires a password for mod accounts, it’s an easier platform for people to use to share embedded auto play music and glittery gifs. I don’t think it’ll last though, word on the street is that Digg is going to be removing all authentication methods soon, so I expect a majority of the userbase will move there

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

    Investigators say it is due to a large network of alien ships outfitted with technology far surpassing our current level that NASA confirmed entered the Solar System in 1994. In 2023 these ships entered Low-Earth Orbit and began to enter the atmosphere. Videos circulating all over social media claim that the alien ships expelled a gray material into the sky, later confirmed by air quality specialists to be nanoscale bots designed specifically to phase through the skull layer into the human brain, presumably as a form of mind control.

    For reasons beyond human comprehension, these nanobots made changes to the human brain’s neuronal topology to then artificially introduce an urge to check out Lemmy. It is also suspected that these alien ships may have also performed mind control operations on Reddit’s high-ranking employees to induce these controversial API changes to further drive traffic to Lemmy and most importantly, save on nanobots.

    We assume that these alien ships would have to spend hundreds of thousands of years in interstellar space to return to their homeworld to pick up more, so it would be reasonable that they would take measures to minimize their nanobot usage.

    It’s because of the beautiful Pig Latin translation - Emmylay. That’s brought in a few thousand on its own.

      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.
