It is 100% way overdue to take a lot of tech away from these cunts and make it public infrastructure.

It got me in my way to learning about decentralization and now I’m all over the small web stuff.

I just wish there was a way to delete my reddit profile comments easily. I log in every three months or so by accident usually.

Ohhh! Another good suggestion. I really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yea… and I realize how harsh it sounds but like, I put “lazy” in quotes because I don’t think it’s really laziness. Maybe more boredom? The environments’ just been designed to not invite exploration. Everything is just automatic and instant now. Innovation is driven by need. The need has been engineered away, for the most part.

People are “lazy” and only social, today. They want to log in, info dump, and not think.

Before the nadir of social media, when reddit and twitter were coming up, the people online were predominantly young millennials and new tech was exciting. That was a time where netizens were more curious and accepting of online platform learning challenges. In fact, if it was beta or even just more hands on and generally nerdy, that often made the platform more appealing. Then everything became standardized. Mega social media squashed innovative smaller fun projects. Competition got absorbed. And with the mass standardization of the internet came the younger generations who came up just expecting shit to work as they’ve always seen. Streamlined and with an inclusion of 15 minutes of fame. But, in honesty the biggest snooze is the lack of innovation that drove the old internet drives today’s general malaise.

Times are different. People are bored with internet tech and are therefore less curious. My younget gen z and y co-workers glaze over if I even so much as mention irc or playing around with your own web server. Gen y understands but doesn’t care because Twitter and IG governed their highschool experience. Gen z doesn’t understand and are kinda boomer-esque in terms of any software comprehension. I’ve had to teach my interns what Excel even is.

Times are different. Everything has being standardized, monontonized, monitized, predictable, and generally boring. I think the fediverse would have to become mainstream to appeal to the mainstream. And today’s mainstream aren’t interested in new platform learning curves unless there’s something fun, compelling, and of entertainment value to them.

Just my old millennial lady take.

I am shocked I had to scroll down this far for this one.

Those still exist at this time.

It’s more like they will miss fully having to rely on the library and their family owning a collection of encyclopedia because no internet.

It definitely has that Front Page feel. I straight up just blocked .world after they took a pro Meta stand.

tiktok? ffffff

I sleep, a lot. Not the best answer but that’s what I do. I just sleep.

Oh… Oh nooooo.

Yes, no. An ideology that celebrates killing minorities, women, and the queer community deserves all the hate it gets. The latest victim to your favorite ideology, Nex Benedict in the US and the entire Palestinian population vis-a-vis Netanyahu’s conservative government. Conservatism belongs exactly where it is in the public’s eye. If not moreso.

My mom’s creepy boyfriends liked The Doors. I associate that with Morrison. Creepy old men.

I need to change all my comments to how shitty spez is. Is there a quick way to do that?

There’s at least one clone war in this thread.

I’d be less concerned with gay and more concerned with doing your immediate family…
