I used to interact with people from my country on reddit
Because of that, along with me not watching/reading romanian news, i miss big events like the country being invited to schengen

Just saying.
I’m exclusively on the fediverse, I don’t feel disconnected from pop culture at all. There is a lot of politics and meta discussion, I’ll give you that

Yeah, but every time I hear about celebrity shit it's fucking stupid and it pisses me off so I consider missing it a good thing.
It's not like Reddit stopped existing. Lemmy will (hopefully) never be Reddit. That means that some itches Reddit will still have to scratch.
Yes, although a lot of current pop culture stuff is so vapid, commercialized, and unstimulating that I could not care less about it.
I’d like a good place to keep up with and search for local events, follow local businesses, and discuss hobbies and lesser known series but without being beholden to a corrupt billionaire who owns the social medium and without rewarding bigotry and mis/dis/malinformation with advertising revenue. I’ve found a couple of Discord servers that only partially fill some of these niches. Some of these problems can be resolved by growing Lemmy communities around certain topics, but I don’t think most social media/marketing managers would publicize on media with relatively few eyeballs.
Does anybody have a plug-in or a web function that can, for example, transfer a company’s Facebook page’s post history offsite? Also looking for a good live feed of events in an area? (I tried Eventbrite once but I got scammed with the refund denied)
I’ve been thinking today about how the mainstream means of mass communication and organization have been taken by corporations and grifters who manipulate them to algorithmically reward ignorance and bigotry, and how these social functions need to be seized back for effective and lasting progress to be made. Education is next on the chopping block.
Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile
OH SHIT! That's right! I forgot! Kendrick was doing the half time show! 😂
Thank you for posting this! I gotta watch the half time show now!

I wonder if there should be a more generic pop-culture discussion thread to get it started. I know I enjoy a few aspects of pop-culture and would like to discuss. If you start it people will join
This is what I'm kind of thinking too, like a r/popculture chat, but less related to celebrities and more about general non-political happenings. Maybe I'll message my instance admin and see what hosting something like that entails.

I just bought an hd antenna for free over the air channels. It's apparent the elderly are whom those channels cater to. There is layers of pop culture and you connect to the layer you want to connect with.

I haven't been in the loop since 2016.
