        I’m not sure how I feel just remaking all the things on the new thing. Nothing stopping you from doing it of course. And I can block it easily enough. I guess do what makes you happy.

          Internet culture is a leaky thing. A major chunk of meme and comic formats where born in 4chan and they’ve been adopted virtually everywhere on the web despite coming from a place that takes a certain level of self hate to stomach for any length of time. Lemmy is functionally a clone of reddit right down to the logo similarity. Trying to claim that somehow it’s a different unique corner of the web and exercise in futility.

      3Mb is mostly the cover art.

      The text is usually only 100-150kb. So if they only got text, it could be 20x higher.

      $44T, now we are talking about real money.
