Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains
-
Mastodon has merch, but it sells out near-instantly.
-
Their custom domain business can't be big, I am assuming they merely get some referral commission from sending business to a registrar, that can't be a lot of money.
Or am I missing something?
True, but they also just don't fucking advertise it at all, and its on a forgotten subdomain only linked to in a blogpost, and the date on the page still says 2023 at the bottom.

Zuckerberg wears t-shirts comparing himself to Julius Caesar? Why is that every time I think I’m up-to-date on the latest weirdness there’s more of it?
I wonder why all these high profile people are so fascinated with a dictator that oversaw the transformation of a republic into an empire. Just like fascists were/are. Must be just a coincidence! Just like that Musk salute from the heart.
-
What about "Tu quoque, Brute"?
Would be cool to pretend stab this guy in the metaverse to remind him what happens to Caesars.

Roman empire, like the nordic pagan BS is also a (extreme) right-wing fetish.
So glad to see our new PM celebrating his election win like this:
Lol his face... It's like he knows this is a bad idea and he has no idea how he ended up there.
That or he's just an idiot and his face always looks like that.

Noted: Avoid Belgium if I ever go to Europe.
You can avoid the whole of Europe, most countries are getting closer to the 4th reich.
Almost time to send the kids to the eastern front again. -
You can also hear it every day if you’re an English speaker. The Roman conquest of England greatly affected the English language.
Yes but I can't let this chance go by to piss off the English and say they're a German colony, the country they love to hate.
Speak a germanic language.
England, literally land of the Angle. Where are the Angle from?
And who's the other part of the Anglo-Saxons?
Ruled by....The Windsors? Doesn't sound right.
Or did they change their Von Saxen-Gotha name for some mysterious reason in 1914? -

Poor thing is his son, molded by daddy.
You should see the video, he just looks scary in it. The empty look, no thoughts, just following orders.
His sister already had mental problems at a young age and got help, this one doesn't know it yet. -
Gaius Julius Caesar, most probably bisexual as widely accepted in Roman society, rumored to have been having an affair with the King of Bithynia and affected by mini-strokes or epilepsy.
I know, but he's obsessed with Augustus.

Almost time to send the kids to the eastern front again.No point in dunking on Muricans then if Europeans are going to do the same shit?

Which country is this?

Oh well, Augustus was probably bisexual as well, rumored to be a bottom (which was the only thing Romans kind of picked up on) and he was well-known for his serial adultery, although I guess Markie would see this as something cool, while Augustus actually wrote laws against this behavior himself.

The reason behind his weird android haircut is that he thought it looked Caesar-esque.

Not for me, I live in Australia. $80USD shipped. I'll pass
To Italy I should pay 40USD more for shipping and 17 for taxes...c'mon, decentralize and sell something from Europe!

Oh I definitely will, always have since the other side of your uniparty is not much better for the rest of the world.
Besides those 2 factions there isn't a significant alternative. The vast majority belongs to 1 of those 2.
The dems will eventually fall in line and collaborate, like much of the European parties did before and during WW2.
"embracing patriotism" and " banning left wing elements" as the new proposed plan for the dems is already a good step.
They have no culture of resistance, generally apathetic and pacified.
If a European country would suddenly live under the same conditions Americans do now and loong before, regardless of which side was in charge it would be in flames. I can name a few things: no social benefits, mass homelesness, authoritarian police that kill plenty people, largest percentage of people put in jail.... No country would take that.
And now they want to 'save their democracy'?
And how? By not shopping at chain X for one day or maybe change their avatar.

That must have been frustrating when the user base responded "but I already got my Blåhaj"
But Plushtodon is fren for Blahaj

I was on Reddit for 12 years with nearly a million Karma, and I got permabanned soon after the Inauguration for repeating an anti-MAGA opinion I had posted numerous times before he was elected.
I came over to Lemmy, and discovered that I was only one victim of a bloodbath, demonstrating that Reddit had decided to forego their free speech mission, and grovel for their new masters. Pathetic punk ass corporation.
I never wore a Reddit shirt, but I'd happily wear a Lemmy shirt.
They just go where the money is, and if that means going to a dictator, that's what they'll do.

your uniparty
I'm not American.
I know, I said 'their' and 'they' mostly.
And then why would you mind me dunking on them? -
That's cool but I'll check back in to see which fascist technocrat is running bluesky in 8 years
In theory, Bluesky is supposed to be immune to that due to it being open source. In practice, I don't know what that would look like. The architecture seems to be much less decentralized than ActivityPub (which is what Mastodon uses).
