Lemmy would need to become significantly popular for it to be worthwhile for them to manipulate it; they might be laying the groundwork now. However, only time will tell. If Lemmy does become more popular, hopefully people here can effectively counteract any manipulation.

reminds me of this somethingawful ancient meme:

This reminds me of a meme that originated on somethingawful.com, you don’t know who you could be talking to online, and its a bear. Man I miss that site.

at least lemmy has the spirit of not being manipulated again.

Stay off your phone.

Gaming consoles offer a better experience than the low-quality entertainment on phones and tablets.

Spending time on toxic social media is like feeding your brain junk food.

It’s all designed to quickly exploit you.

I’d prefer my kids use a gaming console like the Switch instead of an iPad.

Only idiots deal in absolutes. This whole bear thing is just a succesful attempt to throw yarn to keep you distracted from the parasites that have been draining your blood.
