Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

probably be reconsidered as a product or service.

The real problem is the target demographic, which is vulnerable and desperate people. Everyone who would use this app logically on some level knows it won't help them, but that's just not something that will matter to a person in grief.

It's predatory, and even worse, will prevent some people from healing through grief. The future kinda sucks.
