And now do the same people see it as a vehicle that could possibly dismantle corporate social media hegemony?

That’s great!

I like it.

Hmph… I chose to see it as: LET ME, and I shall persist in this.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been educated.

Between Trump, Palestine, Russia, Ukraine… I just ain’t got time for one other thing. Not this. If there’s nothing I can even imagine doing about this, why is it my business?

I’m going to take another ration of downvotes, but I confess: this shit is not my business.

So… someone went through a great deal of trouble to share this. Why? I’m confused. What is the message and the audience? Is there something I am supposed to do?

I’m out of the loop here. Could someone ad some context for me? What’s this about?

I can’t be bullied by smug Virtue signalers. Please remember that for every cart you are painstakingly replacing, I am balancing out the universe by scattering six around haphazardly in your honor.

I’m trying to verify this sign was ACTUALLY that this event. What other evidence do we have?
- Comment on Basic courtesy 2 weeks ago:
If you don’t like the prices don’t shop there. You might try Virtue Signalers: the grocery story for people with self esteem so low they need to attack strangers on the internet. Virtue Signalers: behold my contributions! I am worthy. My daddy was wrong in withholding his love. Virtue Signalers: I’m better than you, so fuck off.

My choice not to return those is a political decision to make corporations pay for their privilege.

We’re all on the same side here — on Lemmy and the Fediverse.
This is something I care about.
I want people to abandon corporate social media and I want them to support and use Federared options run by cool people.
That’s you.
That you spend your time worrying about carts is not really relevant to what connects us.
I just want to let you know that I can be courteous and professional and interested and interesting and still believe that carts are not a big deal.
- Comment on Basic courtesy 3 weeks ago:
Of all the things to get your panties in a twist about. Oh, world’s on fire, I’m going to make cart etiquette a big thing.
- Comment on Basic courtesy 3 weeks ago:
I personally know two of these cart gatherers and they assure me that these extra steps under the blue sky are the best parts of their day.

Try talking to one before you judge me.

Yes, smug self satisfaction at the expense of others feels nice. You do you bro.
- Comment on Basic courtesy 3 weeks ago:
Smug virtue signaling anyone?
- Comment on Basic courtesy 3 weeks ago:
Not littering.
- Comment on Basic courtesy 3 weeks ago:
Thank you!! I upvoted away one of your down votes. You have said what I was thinking!

Oh… I am going to destroy my lemmy credibility by chiming in on what I think is the absolutely most stupid conversation in the entire universe!
I know you all to be people of deep conscience and this is what I love about coming here. Lemmy is filled with people obsessed with meaningful issues… except for this one.
Maybe the leftists will join me? I don’t know, I think my perspective is simply boomer: who efffing cares.
On a beautiful Spring day, I will sometimes march my cart to the farthest end of the farthest parking lot knowing that I am giving the cart retriever a lovely stroll in the sun.
Cart retrievers are paid to do a job. I allow them to do it.
Oh, I have seen that obscenely smug little essay about how the easiest test of a person’s character is what they do with carts.
I have watched that Cart Narc guy and I always hope he gets caught and beaten by the person he has antagonized.
Oh… whatever. Judge me. Don’t judge me. It doesn’t matter.
The carts don’t matter. I probably should have read the comments here before commenting this but I was surprised to see it — because generally speaking, only topics that matter make it here and this one just doesn’t.

What a kind and thoughtful reply this was. I have nurtured the notion of replying to you in the back of my mind and today we have a snow day. I will update you on the Fediverse project I offered in my Science Fiction course.
Drumroll…
It was a bust on one level.
I genuinely thought I would ignite passion for this work in one tenth of the class… or at the very least: INTEREST! And under that: curiosity.
None.
I did get folks to create accounts and explore and the oral presentations were filled with…
Drumroll…
It doesn’t work!
Or
It’s too hard to get to work.
Corporations have succeeded in creating the laziest generation. The most incurious batch of victims ever brewed up.
So… I did not start a revolution.
And neither did Luigi… but we tried to shine light into darkness.
Luckily my way involved zero murder.
And your and my conversation began with me just asking in how bad trouble might I get into for this attempt. The answer was zero. My students executed what they could with the bandwidth they had at the level to which they were accustomed to work.
Plus sides…
They did think critically. Many of them owned up to their own lack of patience and attention.
Some mentioned they they need more dopamine in their social media.
Which tells me they “got” the point but that they do not mind being scolded by the telescreen when they do not bend over far enough trying to touch their toes.
OpenStars, your discourse is not easily abandoned. Thank you so much for the intelligent responses and the concern you shared.
I do not have an active Fediverse project rolling this term. But I will likely come up with something for Spring. I’m thinking of ditching every book in my fiction class and having us read THE BOOK THEIF closely for spring.
I’d settle for the novelization of Inglurious Basterds… maybe we will write that as a creative project.
How could this country run so far afoul?
Here’s hoping your adventures in the Fediverse are numerous and satisfying.
Hah… that’s the way I sign off postal correspondence and it occurred to me I could stalk your avatar here and find these things out. I shall resist that impulse and hope you have time for a reply.
