Agreed, so much is stacked against us, these numbers show we are serious about making alternative communities.
This meme hits like a laser guided munition.
Beat me to it! thank you!

5·26 days agoMastodon and similar are fantastic.
They don’t even have to be anything complicated to be awesome, just having Mastodon and other microblogging services as a basis for orienting people on the Fediverse is an underappreciated gem we should be thankful for whether you spend most of your time on reddit-likes or twitter-likes here on the Fediverse.
The format has so much more potential than twitter/x has explored.

auto correct can suck Bopha! Deize Tigrona Nutsedge
What the hell kind of answer is that?
Maybe just type in English like a human instead of making me guess what you’re trying to say

First of, how little do you have going on to find time being upset at people spelling correctly?
I find it slightly but not overly insulting you think the nuance of language is not consequential. What are we doing here then?
I am not upset at any one particular person at any one point, I am upset at a trend.
Na, fuck everyone using autocorrect these days, it makes text conversations so stilted, hard to read and passive aggressive feeling.
We threw away emotional nuance in texting because of the people who just find it annoying not to text in proper english.
Slang and abbreviations are expressions of context and familiarity which are necessary for conversation that isn’t purely transactionary in nature.
gee whiz can’t we find a moderate middle ground between these two extremist radical viewpoints?

I think we need to start putting this on billboards.
My point is about the conceptual framing of a ladder leading to a narrow frame of view about evolution, not that this particular meme is portraying itself literally as an evolutionary ladder.
annoying nitpick
There is no progression up a ladder in evolution, not towards sophistication nor complexity.
Every single species alive on earth comes from a genetic lineage precisely as old and thus “evolved” as we do. Species can shed complexity and capabilities from evolutionary pressures just as much they can gain them.
I know this is a meme but framings subconciously slip into our ways of thinking like this very easily.
