Native Spanish speaker from Spain and fluent in Portuguese from Portugal

As a company, they’ve always been incredibly conservative, so for maybe the last decade or so, they’ve tried to fix it by creating characters that are an absurd progressive stereotype as a stupid by product of a committee with no connection to what they wanted to stand for, so they didn’t lose their reputation as conservatives among progressives, they pissed off conservatives by adapting to the woke agenda and along the way making some absolutely infamous products, yes Star Wars I’m looking at you

Yes, I guess that is part of the problem, in Spain hoteliers prefer to scam tourists with products of inferior quality compared to what we really eat than to gain fame and repercussion. I don’t know if that was your case, or where you were, it varies a lot from one region to another, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

How can you put Spain on the same level as Great Britain? Damn Italians don’t know how to make anything other than sauce with tomatoes and they think they know how to cook.

Las comunidades en español son escasas y de poca actividad en general. Te animo a participar en cualquiera que veas activa compartiendo lo que te interese. Yo ayudo moderando !esp@lemm.ee y seras bien recibido

Keep in mind that these are active users, many networks with huge numbers have registered accounts, but most have no activity.

In any case, be the change you want to see, help the network grow by providing content and activity, you will always be welcomed.

Joke or anecdote?

I do not say that he is right, but he is right

It is not an online case but in Spain we have a telephone company called Jazztel. Their phone spam was so intense that it became a national meme. I once told one of the operators that they could give away gold bars with every bill and still wouldn’t hire them for being annoying

I think there is some drama with the mods but I am also lost and waiting for someone to clarify it.

As long as our governments, political parties and politicians continue to use it, it will remain relevant.

They are not only hard communists, they have 0 interest in propagating their ideas, they only insult and despise everyone who is not 100% in agreement with them. In the best case, and I don’t think it is, it is an endogamous community only for themselves, the opposite of what a federated social network is

“something we have in common”

I think it’s a good project and I agree that we need to think about the fediverse from a “marketing” perspective.

Ok, I might be the exception, but as I said before, Instagram has its main user base among people of my generation. I don’t think those users care about bandwidth at any level.

I would never upvote without seeing what community it is in. It wouldn’t happen to me on Lemmy but the Reddit algorithm spent weeks showing you stuff from that sub and it was something I hated, maybe over time I ended up doing what you said, but for now I still have the habit of doing it.

Yes, a link without a preview is unpleasant

I am 38 years old, I remember perfectly when downloading a single song could easily take a week, porn was exclusively photos because online videos were unimaginable and streaming hadn’t even been invented yet. I don’t understand why you’re still worried about that right now, photos, videos, games, movies, everything moves online in a matter of seconds, downloading at +10Mb/s on emule is today normal. I have gotten used to it normally.

I don’t agree at all with the author’s approach. I’m a millennial and I came to Reddit around 2019-2020, using it a lot since the pandemic, I prefer the new reddit a thousand times. It’s not a question of interpreting the site as questions, it seems like a nonsense to me. It’s a matter of making everything more visual, I don’t stop to read the title, the community or the author, at a glance I see the vast majority of the post, if I consider it I see the rest of the information, most of the time I ignore the information, because I don’t care.

I would like to remind you that Instagram (the example given in the article) is mostly used by millennials.

I see people praising the film, I must have fallen asleep too and dreamed things like:

The man who made the maps getting lost (well, he had a weird hairstyle and screamed like a madman when he entered, it seems that he was not a very serious man, it is clear that they chose him for the most expensive and important mission in history because… who knows)

The biologist who panics and flees two frames later takes off his glove (!!!) and tries to touch a clearly threatening snake with his bare hand, it has been a long time since I saw such a satisfying death.

A strange liquid about which nothing is explained but which, depending on the scriptwriter’s convenience, kills instantly, turns you into a zombie, turns you into a zombie but with a delay so that you can screw your girlfriend and she has some kind of proto-alien.

Ancient cultures painted the constellation of that planet, how did they know it? Why did they paint it? It’s supposed to be a military base for the architects, not their home planet, painting the address to a random military base from their culture makes zero sense.

The movie is full of religious references that lead to nothing, they cross half the galaxy and just arrive on Christmas day, what a convenient convenience that leads the viewer nowhere.

… … …

Of course, the scriptwriter is Damon Lindelof, so it’s obvious that all the inconsistencies of the script simply lack a coherent answer.

Enjoy it if you can because this movie only manages to piss me off every time I try to watch it.
