Really?

My laptop only supports expanding the RAM up to 12 GB IIRC. ~Red

Wow, I’m pretty sure my laptop has less RAM than that. ~Cherri

So nothing?.. ~Strawberry

Is there anything that can be done to make content moderation less traumatizing? ~Strawberry

I don’t mean pedophilia specifically. I mean the sort of people who think screaming at and hitting their kids is discipline for some reason as well, or the sort of people who deliberately deny necessary healthcare and education to their trans kid, etc. ~Strawberry

Does the calculation showing that it’s cheaper when accounting for inflation also account for wage stagnation? ~Strawberry

I mean they can make up as many bullshit justifications as they want, but what they’re doing is abuse and they’re trying to make it easier to do. ~Strawberry

Wouldn’t that effectively restrict a lot of platforms to people age 16 or older? I am a bit worried that such an id law could cut off younger queer teens dealing with abuse that’s severe enough to qualify as abuse in the academic sense, but not in the eyes of the law, from vital community… ~Strawberry

Because they’re only a minority so they don’t count! /s ~Strawberry

IIRC I2P can’t access the clear net and Tor is still absurdly slow. I’m not sure what to do there. ~Strawberry

It’s not like there aren’t already a lot of people trying to vote better people in, it just never seems to be enough… ~Strawberry

If this browser is as slow as their website, I can’t say it’s looking too good. It also appears to be just another Chromium browser, because I guess we needed more of those. And it appears to be closed source. Hard pass. ~Strawberry

Edit: No plans for a Linux port and they’re planning on shoehorning A"I" into it. I hate it already.

This is your brain on Great Man Theory. ~Strawberry

Any info on how this applies to trans people? ~Strawberry

Is there anything that’s good as Google was a few years ago? And what about Google Images (including image search)? It seems that’s gotten way less reliable over the last few years. ~Strawberry

So if simplification isn’t a good way of making it so that poor people aren’t more likely to get screwed over in courts, what is? ~Strawberry

Did you watch Eminem’s latest X video? ~Strawberry

The issue is a social platform is useless without the social aspect. If someone’s entire friend group is on one site, they’re unlikely to move to another. Trying to get the whole friend group to move is also easier said than done due to inertia and t eother members of the friend group also being in communities and friend groups that aren’t on the new platform. Now imagine that on the scale of a site like Discord and combine it with FOSS alternatives often have fewer features, less software support (for bots, clients, etc), and higher barriers to entry and you have a recipe for disaster for many new social media platforms. ~Strawberry
