I think I can speak for most non-drama kids when I say, we wish we had your energy

Not enough Lichess users ig

Religion. I love talking to people about what they believe and why, and other philosophical discussions, but the two communities I created for those types of discussions have been dead since the Reddit exodus.

It's an unpopular opinion but I do agree with this. Google deserves to get a lot of shit for a lot of things, but even after how far downhill YouTube has gone it's still the best hosting/streaming service out there.

Between podcasts at work and normal videos at home I probably watch more than 8hrs of YouTube a day with no issues. I may as well pay for it like I would Netflix, considering I get, like, 20x more out of it in comparison.

If there was a non-enshittified alternative, though, I'd gladly pay for it.

Honestly, they could probably solve the majority of it by blacklisting Reddit from fulfilling the queries.

But I heard they paid for that data so I guess we're stuck with it for the foreseeable future.

Omg is this Stupid Mario Bros? I haven't thought about that in like a decade

He's an absolute garbage human being. There's a podcast that was popular a while back dedicated to reading them and spotlighting exactly how evil he and his message is.

Homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia... All the -phobias. His dedication to hating anyone that's not a white Christian man is almost impressive.

I think the hype is warranted in terms of technological progress, it's just the way a lot of big corporations are using it is braindead and often anti-consumer.

It is technically doing exactly what it's supposed to do, but the people in charge at Google seem to have blatantly ignored one of the most important rules of programming: "garbage in, garbage out". They paid for shitpost-tier data, and now it's doing exactly what anyone with half a brain would expect it to do with that information.

I think delusion might be a better word. You can hallucinate and know it's not real

Otherwise you are free to write Moss and become part of the mod-team

I did when they put that sticky up a while back, but I applied too late and never heard back from them lol

But to be clear I'm not saying we should do that right this instant, I'm just saying it acts as a good deterrent from letting this stuff fester.

True lol, I'm just saying that the option being on the table is important. If they don't fix the issue, they risk everyone leaving for a better 196 elsewhere.

Dating a depressed/suicidal girl for almost 4 years through middle school. To this day she's still the funniest and smartest person I've ever met, but boy did she put me through hell back then.

But I came out of it with an unbelievable amount of patience and mental fortitude. I also learned how to avoid feeding into extreme attention seeking behavior while still having a productive conversation.

otherwise what is the point of a transparent and federated platform?

So we can call this behavior out, then pack it up and move 196 to a new instance where this mod isn't in control.

If you don't mind me asking can you share some experiences from that time?

Eden mentioned

As fun as it is to dunk on theists, this brand of Christianity is far from common, let alone representative of Christianity.

Rest in piss, Jack Chick, you miserable dirtbag.

It's a comic by a right wing nut

It seems like prime satire material but at this point I wouldn't doubt this.
