The counter-protest was bigger and funnier. Apparently one guy showed up dressed as the Monopoly Man.

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

it seems that there were literal handfuls of attendees. link
“People are just jealous that they are poorer and weaker and uglier,” she said. “We are beautiful. We’re smart. We’re strong. … We are supporting the billionaires, here.”
Wow. Unsurprising, but... yeah. I'm sure many of us aspire to be as beautiful and strong as Musk, Bezos and Zuck, I sure am! /s
And this was a trans woman. Money and the comfort it provides really does make people evil.
yeah that was a trip.

What is that community supposed to be about? They do a terrible job explaining in the sidebar, and I can't tell if they agree or disagree with the crazy articles and videos they post
Yeah it took me a while to figure out. Basically they're making fun of a specific set of techbros.
- This article, linked to in the sidebar, describes their perspective: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/before-its-too-late-buddy/
- this wikipedia article describes the people they are making fun of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL
It sounds like the community ends up being fairly pro-AI because the zizian-adjacent TESCREAL nutjobs are anti-AI?
It sounds like both sides just suck
I think the TESCREAL people are pro-AI, but tbh I'm not 100% sure.
to be fair there are only a few federation communities with decent sidebars. I actually think its a big sticking point for why its not as popular as people suppose it should. communities on games and such could get very little posts but if the sidebar gave info about wikis and builds and such it would get more popular fast.
Ahhh, the joys of federation! When viewed from my instance, the most recent post in that community is from 4 months ago!
I think this is the post: https://awful.systems/post/7222752
Yeah that's right. discuss.online musta defederated from awful.systems, or it might be a bug...
What was it supposed to be about?
Licking boots.
Feigning outrage but mostly hubris
