Why do you think won't more social media sites follow reddit/lemmy style of communities and votes instead of algorithms?
They care about engagement more than user preferences. They don’t care about content you want to see, they want to show you content that makes it hard for you to tear your eyes away, so they can show you more ads in between engagement bait.

Which Midwestern state is the most Midwestern?

Radical acceptance
Parents: “son its ok if you’re gay, we know its hard being different in a small town like this but youre still our child and we will always love you no matter what”
Me: “mom, dad, i’m not gay.”
Mom: “really? you sure about that?”
Dad: “you’ve literally never had a girlfriend and would be the only straight guy in town who hasnt. hell even most of the gay kids have had a beard at some point.”
Me: “i’m not gay… i’m just horribly depressed and have zero self esteem.”
Mom: “shit. whoops. i suppose we better find you a therapist then.”
Me: crawls into a hole and dies of embarrassment

Anon isn't worried about population decline
Ya know, I have vague memories of reading an argument somewhere that the black plague killed off so many peasants that the surviving ones had materially less shitty conditions for a little while, due to scarcity and all that.

What's the most popular activity you could never get into?
Taylor Swift. She’s cute I guess but her music is the audio equivalent of a lukewarm stale glass of milk.
