Not being able to post due to errors is annoying. I can’t post anything!

In my opinion, it’s okay. It’s pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are… not pleasant.

I’m no expert but I think there are (or should be) exemptions in the case of crime

A better comment would have been like “this reminds me of Technology Connections’ Alec Watson, he talks a lot about how much he hates blue LEDs. Here’s a video [link]”

It makes the same reference, but provides more context, more content, and a new point of discussion.

This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.

I didn’t find it very hard to change how I downvoted comments. Of course what counts as contributing to a conversation is subjective, but I don’t think that should stop people from using it to decide whether to upvote or downvote. I downvote low effort comments, inflammatory comments, rude comments, and comments that spiral into tangents about unrelated topics. I upvote comments using my own judgement to encourage healthy discussions where people contribute differing ideas. I may not agree with every comment I upvote.

Die? What is it with assuming that small instances will inevitably die? There are people out there who want small instances, they will keep them alive.

I really like that idea! A user’s most recent behaviour is the most important to be able to judge at a glance.

Oh, which forum is it?

I don’t see why we can’t have both. They don’t contradict each other.

I went down the rabbit hole and holy fuck, this is terrifying. It’s a woowoo doomsday cult for kids.

Hope she’s still living her best kitty life.

People are humanizing computer programs way too much, and thus, we have arguments like this. An AI language model is not one of those sci-fi AIs that live in spaceships and talk to the crew. AI language models do not have individuality, creativity, consciousness, or free will. They are computer programs doing math to turn inputs into outputs.

This is a good idea! Go nuts for a while, see how you feel.

The safest and most effective way to prevent Meta from destroying ActivityPub is to never give them so much as an inch. They WILL embrace, extend, extinguish if given the chance. Defederate from ALL Meta-owned instances. Be vocal about it. Tell other instances to do the same.

My heart aches for all the citizens living in Russia who have to live in fear because they’re ruled by a tyrant dictator. If this news is true, things will only get worse for them. I hope the people can escape, or better: live in a better Russia with leaders who treat them like human beings.

It’s wishful thinking, I know. Please stay strong, my Russian friends! Justice will be served one day!

It’s a knee-jerk disgust reaction towards any group different from the norm. Furries are also overwhelming queer, so homophobia ties a lot into it.

You made me rickroll myself. Never Gonna Give You Up is so iconic online, how could it not be the first thing that comes to mind?

Second one that came to mind was Somebody That I Used To Know.

Frankly, I don’t watch music videos, so internet memes are the majority of my exposure to them.

I’m doing my part. It’s a hard habit to break, but it’ll be worth it. If this interpretation of the system catches on, then there should be less echo chambers as a result, because different perspectives will be accepted and not shunned.

Exactly this. I see a lot of people suggesting the fediverse be more centralized because they’re so used to centralized platforms.
