'Are we in character...' peepshow did this so well https://youtu.be/PiLVAz-Jczg?si=NGtO2dbcaRmqeyRz

I half agree but also I think with every extra step reddit takes like banning people for upvoting posts that mention Luigi we see more people interested in a freer alternative.

What lemmy needs is some new use cases reddit doesn't have, I've been thinking about making an adversary debate platform that basically just offers a different format to a thread designed to make understanding events easier. Also I want to try making gamified chat modes where the main image is altered based on agreement or disagreement in the thread, basically an info graphic of the thread.

I'd love to make some game experiences on it too, I was thinking of a similar collaborative experience where user interactions in the thread alter the main image gameboard - would be great to use the existing floss infrastructure to make something open and fun.

And lock down the computer so it can't use a bootdisk, lock out programs that can be used to circumvent locks like steam, browser plug-ins, and other VM stuff....

That's the bit about this I hate, I do think porn can be dangerous especially for people who aren't emotionally and intellectually ready for it but these systems do the opposite of help.

Teens are curious, letting them sneak a peek at pornhub doesn't have much risk but forcing them to learn how to accesses backroom porng R ** from seedy discord groups or similar puts them in actual genuine danger from preditors and exposes them to far more intense and possibly illegal porn.

In my friends kids school there was a situation with a girl that had an iPhone she'd been sent by some guy on roblox, rumor was she'd 'earned it' when playing at a friend's house with less strict parental supervision. It's already hard to stop teens putting themselves in danger, especially with so many bad people out there preying on them.

Yeah when I was young most the weird anti vegetarian talking points that got thrown at me endlessly were things like 'but if you were on an island without vegetation you'd have to eat meat' but there was a point where it switched to bad nutrition 'you can't get protein from vegetables!'

I would point out that since I've never eaten meat and am healthy and strong that's obviously not true and so they'd revert back to innane stuff like 'mice and foxes get killed during harvesting' or 'plants can feel pain too'

Now though it's evolved into weird alpha male podcast drivel, I hear stuff like 'beans make you feminine' and 'we need beef protein to create masculine hormones' and it's always backed by complex jargon from people speaking like doctors but who can't answer basic biology questions like what do the kidneys do.

Until project 2025 changes things federally

Throwing out codes when you don't know any details about the situation is classic lemmy brain

Seems reasonable and likely, but that's not what people here want they want an enemy they can pretend is pure evil so they can feel good about themselves

I donate small amounts to open source projects and content creators that .make stuff for everyone because I really believe it's a great way of fighting capitalism and many of the problems it's caused.

I thought people agreed about being born gay and stuff? Are you saying you think it's a choice?

'Someone pointed out my statement is fallacious, quick pretend they're right wing and block them!'

'I can ignore everything you say because broudcasting on AM means they're ontological evil!'

Do you not understand that you're every bit as crazy as the maga loons when you speak like that?
