For another data point I can search any of those terms on the shortlist that was posted just fine, using Facebook on the website. Either searching for posts or videos. May be app specific or something that was very temporary? Located in US. No Instagram account.

Ah I remember getting Zips when I lived out in the PNW just after the millennium, good stuff.
You know how they say "cool beans?" Mine is lukewarm.
Saw this today on there, apparently "follow farming" is going to be a thing as long as this 3rd party app doing autofollows of people who follow other accounts exists. Generally I'm going to treat random followers as influence operation peddling bots until I start posting on my account.
Right now I'm finding accounts that I like to read and trying to build up a base of people to see if I can create a worthwhile feed. Still not a proof-of-concept use case for doing Bluesky long term but potentially will be interesting enough to stick around in a couple weeks. I can't imagine the awful user experience for people who are just rawdogging it though.
I'm guessing they meant cognitive dissonance? Never seen this abbreviation though and probably wont be using it myself
Similar to how Netanyahu's faction in Israel kept funding Hamas to justify their objectives on control of the state.
I think that's just social media now. I'm still on fb for some reason and the vast majority of the promoted accounts seem fake, and I get followed by porn and crypto bots there. Lemmy is smaller so it's more like drinking from a stream than a river but still a few creeps, trolls and bots here but a lot less.
Seeing Bluesky makes me appreciate Lemmy more, even if it can get echoey sometimes.
I got the 2 month free trial recently and have yet to see an ad with it. Don't plan on continuing the service if I do see one.
As much as I respect Ghengis Khan and his ilk, I will not stop listening to that Devo song.
Unprecendented geopolitical pressures had him signing this rather than any ill will toward lgbtq folks I'm sure. If only the Line-Item Veto had become law.
I can remember getting shouted at from a moving car for wearing shorts circa 2006, it was a thing.
