In the 2000s and 2010s Brand was seen as a progressive who rallied against the 1 % with some hippie spirituality thing sprinkled in. He started his own YouTube channel. Then around 2020 he was slowly incorporating things like The Great Reset, rallying against vaccine mandates and other right-wing talking points. He started to appear with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro and the like. The rebranding reached a culmination in April 2024, when he was baptised.

Those two are real GG Allin songs.

Damn, I was about to post that article! But regardless, there is so much proof regarding Brand's misdeeds which may contributed to his "rebranding" from a liberal revolutionary hippie to a conservative Christian.

To think of it, "Cyanide Ice Cream and Cum Soup" would fit really well right next to "Needle Up My Cock" and "Expose Yourself to Kids".

"Cyanide Ice Cream and Cum Soup" sounds like an album title for a GWAR-style shock rock band.

There's WriteFreely for example. There's also Plume, but looks like it's not actively maintained anymore.

As for Sopuli, hosting Photon may happen in the future.

There are no recommendation algorithms for content, you are one! Search for communities based on your interests and subscribe to them. The Communities view of your home instance and Lemmy Explorer are good for that. Because Lemmy is decentralized, all discussion isn't centered around one site like on Reddit, which may at first give an impression of emptiness.

I also wrote an extensive guide about Lemmy few weeks ago.

Welcome!

Thanks for showing me that, fixed!

2019 alone might as well be 10 years ago.

Next year it will be ten years since Harambe died.

 

I installed whole a lot of custom themes onto my instance recently, but I had to scour through the Internet for them. Is there a community dedicated to custom Lemmy themes, for both user styles (usable via Stylus) and ones we admins can install?

 

Previously this week I released a Lemmy guide in Finnish, as the platform has started to gain a bit more traction here. Based on that, I made an English version on my blog. I tell about what is Lemmy, how to choose an instance, how to find communities and how the interoperability with Mastodon works. I also tell a bit about mobile apps and my own experiences as an instance admin.
