Shame me 4 times? Shame on you for picking on a vulnerable man.

😂

I can see that. Kinda like only enjoying the first 1/3 of each season of American Idol.

“Sadly” lol

(I dunno, I’ve never seen it but it just does not sound like compelling television to me)

Sounds about right. I dropped cable in 2010 or thereabouts so probably right around the time that shifted.

Not to be confused with MILF Island which was a fake show on “30 Rock” that was intended to be so over-the-top trashy no could assume it was real.

The worst part is when you do see something that seems like a legit history show, towards the end it’s like “but what if it was aliens??”

Bamboozle me once, shame on you. Bamboozle me four or more times, shame on me.

I don’t remember that one.

Is it this one? If so, that was before my time which might explain it.

Most definitely not lol. It was just the worst semi-recent example I could think of. Is that show even still on?

Yeah. Swamp Loggers was okay (at least interesting and sort-of fit the theme of the channel) but the rest definitely were a jarring shift to lazy reality shows.

Deadliest Catch was pretty fantastic, but I don’t remember exactly when it came into the picture.

Oh, boy, that brings back memories of being a teenager in the early 90s. Grandpa gifted me his old CB, got it setup and tuned in, and immediately turned it off.

It’s just that back then, those people weren’t glamorized with fancy titles like “podcaster” or “influencer”. They were just garden variety cranks everyone knew to just ignore.

Truth.

And given all that’s happened between the original run of KoTH and the present, I found Dale a lot less charming in the reboot.

I’m not saying the concept didn’t exist then. There was just a higher barrier to entry than buying a microphone.

They replied to my request post but unfortunately it doesn’t seem like it’s practical right now. Basically because of inline hashtags and not wanting to try to separate those out. Which, yeah, I get that.

They mentioned the new version would let you filter by software type, so that will probably accomplish the same thing for me.

That and tagging a bunch of communities to spray it out everywhere.

In a nutshell, Mastodon has a different culture than the threadiverse. I’m not a fan of micro-blogging and would be content not having that cross over. It can continue to do so for those who want it, but it would be nice to be able to block it out if you don’t.

Ah, okay. Thanks. Was hoping it was just a client thing that caused them to show up.

Gonna put in a feature request to see if it’s possible to hide those.

Wait, do other clients filter those out? I’ve only been running Tesseract for a few weeks. Granted, I don’t see the hashtag spam super often so I don’t recall if I was seeing it this much before I started using this or not.

It was in the feed under one of the Lemmy communities shown in the screenshot. When a mastodon post tags a Lemmy community, it gets posted to it.

Not trying to shame a specific user since it’s bigger than just them, so don’t want to link to it directly. But the hashtag / community tag soup is common enough to get annoying.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

Not that I’d own a smart fridge, but if I did and they started shoving ads on it, it’d look like this later that day:
