Sames. My employers subscribed to the mobile version of the app we were all working with forever and it was like have strings cut. So… yeah… good to be able to catch up at the beach.

I think we are asking too much of phones. I’m not even certain we are in charge of the wanting any more… they dangle… we salivate.

No… I haven’t gone back to flip phone yet but I’m sure tempted.

Is it a networked surveillance nightmare?

Postal mail. Notes. Face to face visits. Less narcissism and self importance.

Don’t feed those troll. In this case AI is the troll.

Yes, I realize I just fed the troll but it’s better yellowstone nothing.

Jealousy.

It’s legal in many countries. You might want to check out how it plays out there in terms of human rights?

It’s gotten to the point here at Lemmy that I’m wanting to set up my two favorite communities. It’s just that they are so niche I can’t imagine them taking off. And my pleasure in them is of course derived from people who are FAR MORE into them than I am.

But I can’t even go back to that cesspool Reddit now even for the good stuff. Oh well.

I arrived at LEMMY after what I think we very optimistically called the Reddit Collapse. We wish. And I had toe in LEMMY and a few others at Reddit.

Recently with their abusively patronizing redesigning and gamification and just ugly bullshit, I can’t stomach Reddit at all. So LEMMY grows increasingly important, not just to me but to folks who haven’t yet even heard of it.

So, I’ll just say thanks for your post here. I have, I confess, engaged with a couple bullies on LEMMY and I always try to say… I don’t like to do this on LEMMY— and I say that precisely for the reasons you mention.

And as you encourage: I will try to be kinder, even in when feeling… hmm… less than kind.

Totally agree. Just the first time I have seen the notation.

So… when there is some controversy over an article in Lemmy it gets the strike though? How did this evolve?

Well… it just removes so much toxicity from the outset

Linux

End of conversation.

Challenging times require innovative solutions.

Serious question for you all. I too wish to see Linux use increase. I also want to see corporate social media die. I am thinking of requiring my students to create Lemmy accounts for a Lemmy group i create.

Do you think this might move folks away from essy corporate os and social media? How do You see it giving wrong?
