lol, this is kinda spot on for me.

My depression and anxiety peaks when my mum has “an episode”.

How does the initial advice work for guys?

I don’t have accessories, am I supposed to take one shoe off or something??

You’re right, she’s probably not interested anymore

I’m like 80% sure at this point, she keeps trying to hold my arm or hand, she said she wanted me to touch her ass the other day, and she also invited me to watch a show in her bedroom at one point.

idk for sure tho :/

Well it fits my posture perfectly 🤷‍♂️

How’s he wrong?

Did you actually listen to what he said or are you just reading the headline and making it fit another narrative to respond to?

Because he also said he thinks it’s going to change the world, he just hates the marketing BS that’s overhyping it.

Probably because, as anyone who’s actually used AI knows, it has some core weaknesses. But the marketers are happy to ~~gloss over that~~ lie and just say that it will be able to do nearly anything.

He said it’s interesting, but to give it five years to see how it’s actually useful, which is probably the most sane take you can have about AI imo.

Stephen King has written a lot of books, and a lot of shops promote those books far more than others.

This is just a nice way to give other authors a bit of promotion, I think even Stephen King himself wouldn’t be opposed to this.

Can’t see this doing well, who’s gonna want to host it and pay the bandwidth and storage costs?

I know people would be willing to do that for a YT alternative, but I don’t think there’s many people who want to shell out so some kid can post their cringe dance video.

Also, who tf gonna use it? I’d imagine Tik Tok users are the social media group that cares the least about the fediverse, open source, and privacy…

Always going on about height 🙄

Yes, there are some women who will outright say no due to height, but don’t act holier than thou like you don’t have any physical preferences that you would choose if given the option.

It’s also not the dealbreaker they think it is most of the time, it’s just cope so they can blame something out of their control and say that it’s women’s fault for being shallow.

I don’t understand how people don’t indicate in general. It’s just so automatic for me, I’d need to make a conscious effort not to.

Sometimes I accidentally indicate because I’m going around a sharp bend that my brain registers as a corner 😂

 
 

I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit.

I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it.

How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want.

Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere.

How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works?

What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet?

Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities for soccer, NFL, basketball, MMA? But then how do you get a consistent naming scheme that lets people know it's part of the fediverse?

Maybe Lemmy could work as a replacement, but it seems like it needs a 'flagship' server with a group of people maintaining it to set an example. Then other servers that cover more specific areas, such as sports, can be set up and potentially work closely with that flagship group.

If this doesn't happen, then I can't see how this doesn't just fizzle out.

P.S. I've also compared two different Lemmy servers and looked at the same post in a community, and there are different numbers of comments on each where they haven't synced up...

I also wanted to post this to the main Lemmy community, but as I had to register via a different server, I'm not able to access that community from the server I'm using for some reason...
