Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Naw.

The DM broke out the special dice (see below,) and turned it to a divine 1. Just for that guy….

(Edit: credit where it’s due)

20 should be fuck you

Why are there so many fucking accounts less than 30 days old? Do y'all just keep making accounts every week? Are there this many newer Lemmings?

Reddit did another stupid, so there's plenty of new joiners

Not long ago Reddit introduced a new policy thatpunishes people for upvoting bad posts, which includes posts about Luigi Mangione. After that, people have been moving into Lemmy as an alternative.

Thank you for the context. Always happy to see growth, the paranoid bit of me always jumps to the worst conclusion.

nah, they're all me. I'm creating accounts to fake the numbers :)

This reference may or may not be before your time .. forgive me, I've seen this before.

Think of it as "Eternal September" and you'll be able to take it in your stride .. brace yourself, this is going to happen more and more, at least for a while.

To be fair, I'm only noticing because I've switched to Voyager and it shows which accounts are newer, but there's a ton! My instinct is to think troll farms. But, I'll be happy to live in an eternal September.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah, Voyager here too. The indicator helps evaluate if I care enough to respond. As for Eternal September, it was a doozy and the road was pretty rough.

That said, I'm still here, so there's that 😇

Pretty sure it’s another wave of refugees.
