MentalEdge goes on 7 day vacation.

You: “Hello, police? I think MentalEdge has been kidnapped or murdered. I haven’t seen any anime titties lately!”

Police: “…what is going on now?”

Yeah :D

It’s a pity not everyone wants me around, but I’m not going anywhere, so complaints are quite pointless.

Don’t let them get you down. I feel like everything I post has SOME downvotes. People called me mentally deranged because I made a post in the Fediverse community that what the fediverse needs overall is for celebrities to call the fediverse home, and bring their userbases with them.

You know how you might see a celebrity say “Follow me at @CelebrityName”. Well right now, that username is universal. They want that same exact username on twitter, on youtube, on instagram. And I suggested that we need to have more of a profile system on the fediverse. So when you register MentalEdge on one fediverse platform, you’re registering the name MentalEdge. Nobody else could have that. And sure, you might be MentalEdge@Lemmy.World, but if someone were to come to Lemmy, and knew who MentalEdge was, they’d just search @MentalEdge. Then the search would find you MentalEdge@Lemmy.World, and maybe you signed up to pixelfed, and it finds that too. Because you’re the only MentalEdge.

People ignored the concept, and instead said “WE DON’T NEED CELEBRITIES HERE!!! AHHHH OTHER PEOPLE WHO AREN’T US ARE AWFUL!!!”

But, in kindergarten I had a rough first day of school. Kids made fun of me. And when I came home, my great aunt edna gave me advice that applied 36 years ago, and it applies today.

“FUCK EM! FUCK THE WHOLE LOT OF EM’! THEY DON’T KNOW SHIT! I BET THEY POOP THE BED EVERYNIGHT!”

Great advice then, great advice now.

I posted it there, but I’ll repeat: you know how email works, right? Mentaledge@gmail.com is not mentaledge@outlook.com

And like I replied there, when’s the last time a celebrity gave out their email address? They care more about the username brand that works across all platforms. Their publicist may know where to email them, but for general fans, they just put out a username like @Username. You never see Username@email.domain. And the reason is because it would be too easy to grab a duplicate email and impersonate them. Which was the whole point of the post. Right now I could register Blaze (he/him)@piefed.social and if someone is on an interface that they don’t see which instance you’re home to (such as how I don’t see your home instance right now), I could be you. I could say things you whole heartedly disagree with, and if people thought I was you, they would attribute you to saying such things. Maybe offensive things. Maybe posting offensive or illegal pictures. And now you are credited with having done that, despite never having done that.

So the risk for a celebrity being cancelled is too high for them to migrate to an unproven platform if they can’t even control their own username. Thus they won’t come, and thus the fediverse as a whole stays small and unknown as a result.

Unpopular Opinion

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
