They gave up all their personal data to see a crappy algo-driven social media site. Meta still considers this a win.

You’ve heard of an ex-boyfriend, now meet your ex-social media.

You watched the video and scrolled the feed so the algo gave you more of it. Simple as that.

You misunderstand what “Hot” means. It immediately starts menopause in your body. Causing hot flashes and rage posting.

What you are looking for is “Top” as it will signal to the bottoms that you are looking for companionship.

Not much, what’s a gcup with you?

People have been having sex in the backs of taxis and Ubers for decades. That’s with another human in there. I suspect more people are willing to do stuff in a car when they feel like they are alone (they are being recorded on video). Especially inebriated people who are headed somewhere to have sex anyway.

Because a lot of people who “left Reddit” can’t STFU about Reddit.

Out of curiosity, will you be able to weed out bad faith volunteers? I am sure there are a variety of interests that would be more than willing to pay a junior admin to be a Lemmy Sysop and it’s not like the candidate will volunteer that information.

The official app is a horrible user experience, but the bigger issue is that most of the content is fake. Between commercial shills, political activists, social-media marketing groups hired to “increase engagement”, and various other bad actors, the site is no longer useful or differentiated. The only places that seem unaffected are smaller private subs.

I don’t know how the fediverse will prevent the same thing happening. The bad actors are just going to follow the eyeballs. They don’t care which platform is used to host their actions. There was already an instance of a group of new kbin accounts being used to mass upvote topics to appear in the hot feed here.

No, but doctors are generally empathetic people. When I turned 45, I needed the exam for the first time. When I was bottomless and bent over the table, I told my doctor that I was very nervous about it.

He said to just try and relax and he placed a hand on my right should to reassure me. When the exam started, I said I was still nervous and so he placed his other hand on my other shoulder to continue to reassure me.

Awful smug for a place that still has Croydon.

You know who have short memories? Teenagers and drug users. You know who constantly have drama in their lives? Yep, teenagers and drug users.

If you decide to take action, wait three weeks and submit the complaint anonymously. Every police force has an anonymous tip line. Don’t get too specific like saying “we saw X manager give U employee meth on date”. Say that you witnessed management distributing drugs to minors and hang up.

With the passage of time. Your son will presumably be in a new job and the prior one will have long forgotten him due to high turnover. You can do something while still protecting your son. Just be sure he never, ever, let’s anyone know that you/he submitted the anonymous complaint.

There is no front. There are four sides to a bed

Head Foot Monster side Safe side

My spouse unwisely chose monster side early in our relationship and so I’ve been safe side ever since.

The whole point of the fediverse is choice. Religious groups can create their own instances and put in rules that reflect their values. They can federate or defederate from other instances based on their desires.

What you don’t get to do is say “Hey, I want to present my views that are antithetical to your community because you are a popular instance”.

I’m not leaving Signal until someone implements keeping data at rest encrypted on both ends and requires multi factor unlock (bio+pin is my choice).

So sick of E2E clients that leave the data in plaintext on the devices and then back it up in plaintext to the cloud.

It’s understandable as the religious people also migrate away from Reddit. The fediverse cuts down their stupid “equal time for dissent” argument. The fediverse explicitly enables them to fuck off and start their own instance where they can put up their own rules and federate with whoever they want.

I’m with world on this one. Punch the damn nazis in their faces. No false arguments about tolerance here.

Chairman Pooh must be pleased that his propagandists now have unfettered access to the worlds largest repository of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” knowledge.

I’m sort of boggled by this. Do people just open the delivery app and type “pizza” and not care where it comes from?

Good post. Any idea how Lemmy or the fediverse will prevent the systematic astroturfing that social media marketing, political activists, commercial shills, and others will engage in? They are just going to follow the users from Reddit to here and keep up their antics.

When a lot of Reddit users stopped for the blackout, it became really eye opening how most of Reddit is just a wasteland of fake accounts posting, mass up/downvoting, and posting anything to keep you engaged on the site.

I was hoping to see something in Lemmy that would prevent this, but I just don’t. So I expect the enshitification to happen here too unless something is done to prevent it.

The entire point of the fediverse is that there is no “we”. Or rather, you can decide which “we” you want to engage with. Look at behaw. When world started exploding with growth, the beehaw instance defederated because they wanted to preserve a smaller community.

I will never sign up for Threads or any other Meta service. However, if the fediverse allows me to interact with my friends and colleagues who have without having to give up all my data to do so, that’s a win in my book.

So feel free to go start or join an instance that defederates from Threads. Just stop expecting everyone else to do so.
