    I’m sorry, I fail to see how this reads as anything other than “Amanda” being an insanely self-important cunt…

    So, if you “support this” feel free to assume that extends to you as well

      I’m sorry but I have to assume you’re not British (which is fine, not your fault). You wouldn’t survive one day in the jungle of unspoken rules of politeness that is a Tesco queue.

      No ‘thank you’ for a divider? That’s a firm mild stare for you

      No ‘no worries’ when people apologise for forgetting to thank you for the divider? Rude.

      No ‘nonono it was me luv’ when people tell you ‘no worries’ after you apologised for forgetting to thank them for the divider? Are you some sort of sociopathic asshole?

      I’d recently blocked “LadyButterfly she/her” because I was getting fed up of her constant low effort ragebait, so I was surprised to see this post appear on my feed - it turns out she’s posting from multiple instances, presumably to get around either blocks or bans.

          Yup. Also the post captions always read a bit too engagmentey, if that makes sense? Like either the account is a bot, or it’s one that being run cynically by a farm who’s following a set of guidelines to maximize reach over anything like sincere interest or value or humanity.

            People who get stirred to rage by someone momentarily impressed by mild and inconsequential pettiness: “This is some kind of social media conspiracy.”

              It’s hardly tinfoil hat time - I defy you to name a single poster anywhere on Lemmy who reads more like a repost bot or engagement farmer than that particular user.

                Shit, is she getting paid? How do I sign up?

                I browse by subscribed, so I don’t see a lot of stuff. But off the top of my head? Stamets, King, Mickey7, probably others I don’t recall.

                Pretty sure OP switched instances some time back if you’re wondering why you see her stuff.

                  If I was getting paid I wouldn’t have needed to beg for money a few weeks ago just to try and remain homeless. If I was getting paid I wouldn’t be so worried about getting holiday gifts for my friends or myself. Getting paid… fuckin’ lol

                  It’s kinda funny to be honest. So many people get so worked up the second that they start seeing someone post because, to them, they cannot fathom someone posting that much to social media without an actual incentive whether that be monetary or anything else.

                    Imagine some people just wanting to engage with folks and see the platform grow. Or making a community to suit their niche interests for funzies. Or suffer from crippling emotional regulation disorders and loneliness, seeking to make a connection, any connection, because likes are an opiate when the alternative is silence.
