No, they just saw the comic that this is plagiarizing.

They could do a time jump.

Holy shit. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Want people to like Lemmy? Turn down the rhetoric.

Want to scare people off? Stay at eleven.

Your call. I’m out.

You want a direct answer? Fine, you asked for it.

You’re the problem with Lemmy. You and other wild-eyed, foaming-at-the-mouth political zealots.

If you introduce me to a carbon copy of myself - one that agrees with every single opinion that I have - but he had even a fraction of the zeal and obsession that I see here I would be running for the hills.

It’s off-putting and downright terrifying to see evidence that people capable of such obsession exist outside of asylums.

Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit A.

If the first words out of your mouth in the morning are “I hate (insert just about anything here)” ya might have a problem.

A lot of you’re an edgy teenager on the internet.

Nothing if you’re a well adjusted adult.

Anybody seeing this who’s a big Lemmy booster/advocate pay close attention to OP.

Lemmy’s problem isn’t the software, or the servers, or even a lack of content. The thing holding Lemmy back is the people.

Power tripping mods and just fucking intolerable users are actively turning off new users from the start. If you want Lemmy to grow, don’t tolerate the bad behavior.

I am outraged that - let me check my notes - the EIC of The Verge has published an article partially generated by AI.

And then everyone clapped

Oh BOY are you in for a treat!

Relatively new parent here. I regret to inform you that your hypothesis is incorrect, at least for my kid. He’s still an infant, though and I don’t know if you include kids under 1 in “small children”.

My wife and I only use our phones to track his nap times, take a picture of him occasionally (once a week or so), and make phone calls. He is still magnetically attracted to them. If you leave one sitting on a surface he can reach he will go for it and start trying to get it to light up on the lock screen. This is especially frustrating for my wife and I as we intend to restrict screen time as much as possible through early childhood.

Even removing social pressures and constructs around phones they are little boxes with moving lights on one side that respond to your touch. That’s inherently interesting to children even before they can meaningfully interpret writing or abstract images.

It seems like you’re implying that only American children are mean to each other.

The Apple corporation are dicks, so America bad?

Lemmy sure is a trip sometimes.
