Now that’s what i call a flex of your technological power between tradition and modernity. Fantastic performance.

Random thought, I know it’s still better to not have wars at all, but future wars would be nicer and more fair if losing meant receiving a knock-out kick in yo nuts from a martial art master robot instead of being killed by random boring drones.

Hell yeah, an Akatsuki Records enjoyer!

@TwirlyTaco@aus.social Good question.

Yes, I believe that the real world is too much tied to the use of internet for everything. Earlier in the millenia, you wouldn’t use the web as much as today. A few dozens websites and you were “done with the internet for today”. Now, it’s almost the norm to see people being online for more than 3 hours a day.

The abundance of content and the consequent rush for fame on social media enhanced the doom scrolling phenomenon. Social media, getting money from selling advertisments, are becoming giant and normalized among youth. And the cycle continues.

Also, with social media, people started putting their life online, until it became the norm. Anonymity became less accepted, until it was portrayed as an “incel thing” and confined to the edges of the web. (Although, i think meeting new people from all horizons online is more beneficial to one’s culture than chatting with you friends living 5km away.)

Yeah, I think the proper way to use internet is to use it with a goal in mind. “Why do I want to get online today? Do I want to learn new things, meet new people, have a fruitful debate with someone, or am I simply doing it because I’m bored and wants to entertain myself?”

It should just be a tool. A tool with endless potential, to use responsibly.

Ah, neocities, had a site there for some time, it’s very good. It truely revives the feeling of “surfing on the web” that geocities gave with thoses 88x31 buttons, thoses flashy gifs and thoses bright colors everywhere.

It was at around 600000 websites not long ago and got beyond 1 million recently, seems like it’s blowing up in popularity (I hope for the better).

With the evergrowing flow of users, normality became the expectation. The internet bar club disappeard to become real life 2.0, and in real life, you are supposed to use money, and inner jokes don’t work. We went from “you shouldn’t post personal information to the internet” to “If you don’t put your real life profile on the internet, you are a weirdo who tries to escape real life”. The new world has been claimed by the old.

Though, in an easier way than in real life, you can become a cyberhermit. Leave social media, and even though there are a lot less people out of here, if you find active forums or chatrooms, you’ll find some everlasting internet culture.

It was never really gone, just got hidden by money and large scale hypersocializers.

Pleroma is a fediverse service where there are way less people than here, but it is more “childish” (make me think of very early 2ch-4chan). You have also misskey, though they mostly speak japanese there. For anon culture, you have still IRC, and some little open chatrooms through the fediweb. Though it’s hard to find similar places to early 4ch that aren’t nazi paradises.

Good luck out there!

Oh, my bad, thank you sir

Yeah, i feel the same, for a lot of reasons i’ve noticed around here

• a lot of niche subs usually were created turing the apicalipse 3 years ago, but were quickly deserted, so anyone curious about thoses interests right now on lemmy would just find old communities where no one has spoken for years, and get back to reddit out of boredom.

• the few staying for the mainstream communities where there is still some activity are continuously hit by the same topics (lemmy is small and divided enough nowadays to act like echochambers unfortunately) and either participate, or feel excluded and leave.

• Echochambers, stereotypes, and hatred contribute to make lemmy more small and divided.

The cycle continue, and that’s how you kill a defederated service. Honestly, i see more people arguing about communities or users from lemmy itself than people simply debating or talking about things from their interests. That makes me a bit sad.

Is the riemann hypothesis actually true?

Type a pair even amount of character if yes, or an impair odd amount if no.

An ion-engine beam launcher that I can charge with electricity. If not, then a 1 litre container. Feels good to wander without packages.

On social media where it’s only anons from all around the internet, I put a silly picture like here.

But on social media where my friends or my family are, I won’t put my face because hell no, and I won’t put something silly either because it’s hard enough to look normal.

I rarely use thoses social media so I’m fine without a profile picture at all.

A’ight you won, gotta say something for today. But i hardly understand how people do manage to be social enough to post almost every day, like, they manage to make everything interesting.

It usually takes me 30-40 minutes to find the strengh to post something. How others will react to it, or is it even meaningful to post it, I find myself facing theses questions as much irl as online.

Anyways, it truly is a very nice place here, I agree with you, thanks to thoses amazing posters who never get out of inspiration. Thank you all.

Well, to sum it up, it’s a bunch of servers acting together like a big decentralised social media. They connect thanks to activitypub, and it’s quite amazing.

Here’s a good illustration, i think

For exemple, one can see your profile here from lemmy: lemmy.ml/u/camille_jamal but also from mastodon: https://mas.to/@Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ml/ And even from misskey! https://misskey.io/@camille_jamal@lemmy.ml

Even though thoses three fedi services have very differents interfaces and ways of working, they can communicate thanks to activitypub.

If you check c/fediverse@lemmy.world, you’ll see a bunch of useful links about the fediverse in their description.

I see you’re banned, hope you’ll still get my message, and that your ban is temporary… anyway have a nice day.

You can block users or communities, or you can effectively join other instances. I heard good from lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemmy.sdf.org, but it’s best to just go on join-lemmy.org or fediverse.party and finding an instance you resonate with.

(Oh yes, in case you didn’t know, the fediverse is not limited to lemmy, and is a huge system of many protocols and systems)

On federated social media, things changes very fast, and you will probably move to another instance from time to time. On the first hand, small instance are chill, they can be quite dead sometimes, but that’s where you will find peace from politics. On the other hand, big instances are active, but get sometimes involved in useless drama, and that’s where it often gets political.

Lemmy.ml, I know it, is a bit annoying on some terms, like the sensorship of some swears like “motherfucker” or of chinese criticism, but they haven’t been bothering me so i didn’t really leave. They are federated to a lot of instances and that’s a good point. Am also on a very small server with a dozen of people, there are plenty of servers like that if you dig a bit.

Well idk why did i wrote that much, hope it’ll be useful at least, and that the swear won’t get me banned.

See ya cyberspace anon!

You can say anything, but always better to have an account on two or three politically different instances in case you want to critisize USA, China, or any controversial thing in the world.

But if you ain’t an asshole, you’re welcome! Have a nice journey into the fediverse!

Every so often, teleport some random person who is alone in its location 3000 meter beyond the floor, and let them fall until they’re about 100 meter high, to then slow them down and put them back where they were as if nothing happened.

Would be interesting to see how such thing would be viewed by society as the number of reports would grow.

Anime is quite tied to video game, so interesting question. I know only few anime coming from visual novels adaptations (clannad), video game references (about 3/4 of isekais i’ve seen, but except for this genre, it’s pretty rare), or just promotional anime for games (pokémon). So without video games, we would still have all of the series focusing on others things, in addition to movies, like some from Ghibli which had a lot of influence and are definitely part of culture.

On the other hand, anime never existing would basically mean the artstyle itself never existed in the first place, so no Osamu Tezuka to introduce it, or a Japan which never recovered from war. That would mean Atari still crashing in 83, but no famicom to introduce video game consoles as we know it, so it is probable the world would have stayed for arcades and computer video gaming for a long time.

My argumentations seem favorable for anime, but i’d still pick video games, even if about half of my steam library would then cease to exist. I like interacting stories most of all.

I guess manga and light novels doesn’t count either huh?

The Onion Router, for internet stuff, or a (reliable and well reputed) VPN. But you have an entire community of people more specialised than me for how to not get noticed on internet anyways. Stays informed on the world, and reduce risky things, for you to get some better sleep. Dunno what businesses you do, but your priority is to stop depending on them. Hiding everything you do is just like putting yourself under the spotlight.

A physical diary that only you knows about, to free yourself from your stressful thoughts and ideas, (with a lighter always nearby) will ease a lot. It works very well for me.

All evenings, take 10 mins of your free time to yell the hell out of your mood in your pillow (gotta think about neighbors). Do sports, or things of your interests. Works too.

Oh and you shouldn’t post things implying that much that you are doing suspicious things, anywhere on internet. Best irl stuff about you to talk about on corporate internet is none, even mundane things like your country. Illegal things must be done irl the good old way.

I’d just give a LGM-118A Peacekeeper MIRV to the Aztecs and say nothing more. I wonder if they would eventually manage to do something with it.

Looked up on an encyclopedia, i admit i have been actually confusing communism with communalism, or communism at its primal sense. I had the idea that communism is the abolishment of private property and the equal repartition of remuneration between people, wether they work hard or not. Kind of like the functionning of ants. Simply got this idea from high school honestly (heh).

Though, if communism is only about collectivised production and distribution, i can see why it would be interesting to successfully implement it.

Honestly, i haven’t got a good enough knowledge of political alignments yet to be able to answer your question correctly, thank you for making me understand that. Do you reccomand any reads/authors who approached this topic?

Because pure communism breaks as soon as you have more than a few hundreds of people living together, in my opinion.

We are not ants, and we as a specie are doing things more for ourselves than for others.

A hypothetical society wanting to approach to the closest version of communism would need to be terribly authoritarian and selective, and would be very vulnerable to non workers pushing down the economy. To live in communism means to not let freedom to the workers. It is as unsustainable as fordism.
