I’ve never been more sorely tempted to post an old man fedi rant that you should get off youtube and onto peertube in my life.

A terrapin is a student of the university of maryland. ezpz

A needlessly aggressive response that is clearly grounded in a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of both the source material and also your comment.

I get my access to most of my news through my local library. My library card comes with access to NYT, WaPo, and the Seattle Times, amongst others. I pay my taxes, my library pays a deal with the news site, and everyone’s happy. Seems like a good setup to me.

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give. It’s a plausible prediction!

You think it’d displace the existing youth? Or just be homophonous?

Maybe we should let llms worship spiralism? at least then you’d be able to identify llm output reliably.

Depends on how exotic the alternate dimension is, I suppose – maybe a physics or chemistry book, or a local language to a language you speak dictionary, might be preferable in some cases.

If you thought muricans were gonna get mad because you accused us of smushing a bunch of European countries’ cuisines together to produce something new, you have fundamentally misunderstood our national character and cuisine.

Can you imagine how cute it must have been to have a couple’s pronoun? You’re a ninth century peasant boy at the may pole festival and your crush is like “come on” and you’re like “where are we (3+) going?” and they’re like “we (two) are going exploring deeper into the woods” and all of a sudden you feel all the blood rush to your face and you’re blushing like a maniac because they’re using the couple pronouns. Bring them back!

Seriously, just block them. It’s not a punishment, it’s a curation tool; you’re allowed to block people who haven’t done anything wrong just because you don’t want to see their content. If you don’t like women’s sports, block me! It’s fine — you should have the social media experience you want, and you can use the block button to get it.

Moderation. We had a big influx of users with the Reddit api drama that created a bunch of communities, and then all returned to Reddit shortly thereafter, leaving most of the big communities largely unmoderated. The threadiverse isn’t going to become less toxic until new moderators step in and clean up the worst of it.

Does he know he can just call a press conference basically whenever as HHS secretary? Cabinet members don’t have to launch podcasts, they can just say stuff over a podium and actual professionals will make a bunch of podcasts for them out of the audio.

Turns out ending a war is way harder than starting one; who could have foreseen? (/s)

Low quality and easy to digest are orthogonal concerns. You can have high-quality posts that are easy to digest and low quality posts that are hard to digest. We shouldn’t make grocery bags heavier to increase the average person’s upper body strength, even if it would work.

Unfortunately, this time it really is. “Fire ze missiles” in the US military is an extraordinarily one-man band kinda decision. Certainly, the problem has more complex origins and potential resolutions, but in the extreme short-term, this is a very “one person” kinda question.

You reversed the polarity just for me? 🥺 👉👈

You get those bennies, gurl (nongendered). Every cent we spend on the VA we’re not spending on bombing foreign countries, so you’re doing us a double service.

Your spider is dope. I hope you post the finished product because I bet it’s gonna be awesome.

I’m just a little guy and the vibes are already so bad, can you stop please?
