Sorry, as a filthy casual I'm a little surprises by Scherzer over say, Bieber. Can any of you more knowledgeable folks explain what stunningly obvious point I'm missing? Much appreciated!

You buy your memes instead of just making them while on the toilet? Wild.

But the larger point is that for a growing social network, yeah, warning newcomers about a group most find unpleasant (and given the upvote ratios on the post, the fediverse seems to agreed) seems a simple courtesy and helps us expand. Doing so in a jokey meme is just a fun way to do so.

That's rocking, nicely done!

Okay, so if your friend would be frustrated by fairly mainstream opinions, wouldn't you warn them about that too? Or just better to have them sort it out for themselves?

Seems pretty simple...

Probably good to warn people that .ml isn't representative of the fediverse at large, they're just very loud.

If you were introducing a new friend to America but for some reason, knew their flight was landing in a MAGA convention, would you not warn them so they didn't immediately turn around and go home?

Huzzah, that was my hope!

Wild takeaway, personally I'd rather no guns, no AI but do have a preference for over detection vs guns on school but to each their own!

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised by the downvotes. I'd rather no guns but if I had to choose between the system missing one and spotting one incorrectly, I'm pretty sure I lean to the false positive.

Thank you for the actual context, so refreshing to see someone actually look at what was written.

I've wondered how many other folks are jerking it way more often than pre-covid.

Ehhhhhhhhhh. It's more the picture of Charlie Kirk.

To put this in the context in which I imagine the Right would see it, they don't believe Kirk was a Nazi, that's a slur the Left uses. If someone had a picture of a drag Queen getting shot and had "Pedophile lives don't matter" (common meme on the Right is the lgbtq community are pedophiles etc) on the Left, we'd probably say they want to kill us, even though (hopefully!) none of us identify as pedophiles.
