But the fact that a lot of editors fight about such issues means that it ends up being somewhat neutral, no?

This seems to be a general societal problem rather than a generational problem. And yes, it's because of echo chambers.

When I was younger, people who were batshit crazy would have their craziest instincts checked by people around them. Now, they go online and find other batshit crazy people.

How do I do this?

this isn't news!

Memes only matter if you're 14, unfortunately. Based on the number of comments and users, I'd say lemmyworld is the default.

Using olive oil for sunbathing sounds like some sort of slow oven roast recipe.

The next month or so will be the true test. Monthly stats up till now look good, but that's because there was an active push factor (most of the reddit exodus happened in the last month). There will probably be a slow decline over the next month as people who signed up lose interest. The steepness of the decline will determine lemmy's future.

Well, Threads is at least aiming to do that and integrate with Mastodon, but the group mind has decided that this is bad.

I'm not part of that group mind, but I'm cynical that they will federate. From a business standpoint it doesn't benefit them, so I'm betting it's just a buzzword they're using.

This. Is. So. True.

"No, where do you live?!"

"On the Internet."

Apple's philosophy has always been to make things as easy as possible for users, but only if the users agree to pay through the nose. That's fine, but they also actively stop anyone from trying to do anything outside the limited number of actions they consider acceptable. It's a good thing the EU is trying to stop that.

Working in any service industry makes you lose that expectation very quickly.

Good for you. Some of these board members are retirees who try and get a sense of power from policing rules unnecessarily. I hope I have better things to do with my time when I get old.

Oh it was.

We used to look up to our teachers as role models. It is sad what the education system has become.

"If yor employees are trying to help you, let them." Sounds like common sense, but it seems like MBAs aren't being taught common sense...

Thank you. I tried to make it short and interesting. I've got more stories, maybe I should share those too.

Why would a teacher ban students from going to the bathroom? That's a normal bodily function. What do they expect the kid to do?

Heck yeah! https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/jun/22/teenage-boys-wear-skirts-to-school-protest-no-shorts-uniform-policy?

I always hated that female attire showed more skin than male attire. It made me so self-conscious as a teenager.
