LMAY - Let Me Ask You

LAY - Lemmy Ask You

I am actually okay with this. Now what are all of the gilding farmers going to do? Oh no…anyways.

Your safety depends on how curious you are and how far it leads you. You can be considered safe, by being in one solitary place at all times and doing next to nothing. You always risk your safety when you go exploring. There is not a single platform that perfects safety among it’s community, with the exception of implementing tools and features that’d at least provide security so that exposure and exploitation is kept at a strict minimum.

The sad reality is, is that, I wouldn’t put it past Lemmy for it to contain at least a handful of these bored shitposting edgelords with too much time on their hands. Then again, is it really Lemmy’s fault? You’re going to come across a band of these people on all walks of the internet, it’s just a matter of what volume of them that there is and whether or not it can be regulated and enforced by the community on whether or not they’re welcomed.

I’ve gotten pegged by people when I reposted something I knew very well, hadn’t been posted within a year’s timeframe. Like, what’s the problem with that? It hasn’t been seen in so long so yeah it’ll be reposted.

Unlike with your second scenario, I’ve seen posts crop up within the same day and they’re all gratified and praised like as if people hadn’t seen them before when their short attention spans fail to tell them that they did see it before very recently.

That’s the fate of, ironically, a subreddit called UNPOPULARopinions.

“Beyonce is overrated!” - just throw them the lifetime achievement award for “unpopular”. /s

Device.

This was a group that consisted of David Draiman from Disturbed and Geno Lenardo who is a former guitarist from Filter. Only one album was released in the entire discography and the project lasted 2 years. It was a nice breakaway to hear David branch out from Disturbed to see what else he can do and I wished more albums was released. It could’ve been an industrial supergroup.

Jesus, yes. I can’t tell you how many subreddits got swamped with high-school leveled questions about sex.

Especially in TooAfraidToAsk, which is supposed to be about questions that’d normally be about trying to ask taboo things to get a discussion. But no, you’ll come across questions like “if there is no porn to look at, what do you look at instead while jerking off in the shower?”. Like, besides trolls, who the hell comes up with some questions like that? Let’s not forget the abundance of people, showcasing the lack of sexual education, asking if they’d get HPV by doing this or HIV by doing that.

I’ve learned that we’re doing an even poor job of handling recyclables, the very thing we’re beaten over the head with to be responsible about.

Unlikely. Zuck can make another Facebook and millions will still flock to it thinking they’ve ‘escaped’ Facebook.

Spez can make a Reddit ‘successor’ and millions will still flock to it thinking they’ve ‘escaped’ Reddit.

The point is, we need to dethrone the root of the problem.

Quora - It’s just AskReddit, 24/7. Kinda gets boring after a while if your sole purpose is answering questions all day.

SaidIt - AltRight Central, taken over by the crazy lot to project their zany conspiracist views.

Voat - Dead, but once used to have been harbored by said conspiracists of altright.

Lemmy - Has a lot of potential, still developing.

4K, 8K, 1,293K is overrated gimmicks to me. I want to see actual improvements, not just how big the resolution can get and how much detail. The last thing that wow’ed me like that were movie theater screens. I’m not really that impressed with it. Also 60FPS shows and things are so off-putting!

We have overlapping terms that describe things we already have terms and words for.

We need to think of newer words, than just applying an already made word to mean several different things.

If it can be modified or improved, do it.

A lot of good insight on here.

I myself, am getting up there. I am only now just entering Hive Social as a twitter replacement. I’m BEGGING for a Facebook replacement at this point that’s not just another Zuck project. I’ve replaced Reddit with Lemmy so far.

As for anywhere else, I know of them but I can’t bring myself to the levels of contribution and commitment as I have with the other social platforms like FB, Reddit, Lemmy, Twitter, Hive .etc

Because it’s just too much work, you know? Your mind is continually running like a piston engine for thought as to what to say and everything as part of a community. Social Media risks everyone of running off the treads eventually until they just decentralize themselves from it all and hide in places like Discord where that’s all that they can handle, some people, no where.

I’ve been doing this social media thing since the 2000s, so that’s 20+ years of hopping forum to forum, from platform to platform now. We’re all forced to just run away, stand the tide of bullshit or just withdraw ourselves.

But yeah, I can’t do things like Gaia Online anymore because I’m way too old for that place now. Twitter, is Musk’s Playground, regardless of the new CEO in place. FB is just there because my friends on there are stubborn. Reddit, after years of being banned and having to make accounts because of the waves of toxicity, I’m finally tired of it. Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Tiktok .etc I refuse to join and apply myself in.

Power-tripping users that somehow have access to hundreds of sub-communities and lean heavily on automodding and just reacting by absolutes because they lack problem solving skills.

Shitty, unfunny jokes that spiral into lengthy comment chains that are a chore to weed through. Keep that shit on Reddit, because everyone pretends they’re some downtrodden, unspoken stand up comedian on there.

Thought policing.

Word policing. Yeah I get that we shouldn’t say n***** and stuff. But, why go through the trouble of censoring swears? I mean come on, we’ve grown up to have the privilege of airing those words out!

People with double standards. It’s okay for them to do something, but not okay for me to do that thing, while having general rules that state about what people should abide by yet expecting everyone to follow it equally. It’s not equal if you’re giving shit to someone just because you feel that they aren’t following the rules when they are.
