I agree the internet feels a lot different than the eqrly 2000s, but breaking down what’s different I can’t pin anything concrete down.

There’s pretty much no fundamental differences between how social media was and how it is now. People talk, share interests, get in arguments. What we feel is nostalgia for a wild west internet with less people and rules that will never exist again.

More people use the internet now so more people participate in the conversation. That’s how it will be for the rest of human history probably.

Eh

Fuck off troll.

Your desires aren’t more important than your children’s lives

Lmao this is the issue

Selfish people only think about who spawns more soldiers for a fantasy ideological war. Or for some sick fetish with spawning to perpetuate your oh so special genes and family name.

People don’t fucking consider anything about the life their children will have to live, and then have the audacity to say “i love my child”

Birthing children into poverty is abuse. At least just as abusive as a parent who can supply everything for their child but refuses to, because the effects of neglect are the same.

Not fast enough lol

The single most defiant act an individual can do twoars society is refuse to reproduce, after that is refusing to contribute to the society.

No

I think if you truly understand the current situation in the world we live in, economicly, socially, and environmentally, it is an extremely selfish act to create more human life.

That being said if I can ever escape poverty and have the extra money i would love to adopt

Absolutely.

I will always make time for my hobbies.

If some optional obligation would prevent me from getting enough me time then I don’t agree to it.

The time I get to be free during this short, indentured life is worth more than anything else.

Improvements in human rights never come from peaceful protest.

The history of the US is slaves vs property owners. And the only leverage the slaves have ever had is numbers and orginized violence.

Employees will always be more necessary than employers.

But you’re right about there being a declining job market as we enter another big recession/depression

Companies get one interview, with a human being.

Anything else is a scam and we need to make it clear we aren’t interested in wasting our time.

“If you want me completing work as a part of this application you need to pay me for my time.”

Employers aren’t enttitled to labor, they aren’t entitled to make us jump through hoops, and we’re at a point in labor dynamics where they need employees more than we need employers.

Keep putting them in their place

Ok?

Doesn’t change the fact that lemmy absorbed less reddit users than Bluesky.

The youtube algorithm used to show users a smattering of all the types of content on the site. Everyone was getting random shit from one public algorithm.

Now, it only shows you the tiny section related to the search data you seeded your own personal algorithm with.

Most of the users who were going to leave reddit/twitter have already settled into new communities, mostly bluesky

I don’t see lemmy growing much more unless bluesky starts fucking up.

I don’t think there’s an easy way to snuff out the more advanced chatbots.

The next possible step could be moderating in a way that messes with the bots possible goals. (Info gathering, division)

Watching the serious people trying to use AI to code gives me the same feeling as the cybertruck people exploring the limits of their car. XD

“It’s terrible and I should hate it, but gosh it it isn’t just so cool”

I wish i could get so excited over disappointing garbage

OSS: Why do so few people use our softwaree!? It’s literally free!

Whenever the government decides they want to try to send me to El Salvador.

No you’re totally reasonable lol

Not unless you want to be babysitting them one day.

Hire a LOT of hitmen

Take power everywhere i could and force permanent wealth equality.

Then redistribute the rest.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
