It’s actually all my fault, everyone.

I’m just incompetent all around 💁

☺️

I too am an expert on all things lol

Remember when all the discussions were happening in just a couple top posts, mostly meta posts? We’ve come a long way for sure and I’m proud of everyone.

Every bit helps, I’d imagine.

I would like to thank everyone on here for the last two months or whatever it’s been from the start of the migration, and to the people just coming over, and those who were here already. I actually feel like I’ve grown as an individual in my time here. I’m starting to see certain patterns in my own behavior and working on them thanks to the content and the engaging discussions on here. I used to avoid interaction and lost all hope, but you are all really awesome. Thank you <3

If I have a question that I’d usually search on reddit for, i just make a post here instead and drum up content for the future, plus I usually get way more than I asked for from people as almost everyone here is a damn genius and usually very polite and understanding.

I agree with the niche stuff, but I will say I almost like having to create a post for my inquiry, and though not much engagement, what I do get is really helpful, more personal info from a few kind and knowledgeable people. So I think perhaps we should readjust our expectations and enjoy this for what it is.

Deep space photos make me feel warm and fuzzy

I’m no longer dumping my trash in landfills, I’m burning it instead.

DeFeDeRaTe NoW!

Yea that’s fair. I feel like the issue lies in education tbh. Our schools don’t teach us much about practical things like the relationship between external and internal forces. I’m not for these types of warnings, I just thought that was reasonable compared to what I was expecting lol

Thats actually reasonable. I think people are largely unaware of their own brain plasticity and how much any type of input affects our outlook and actions.

The current state of policing doesn’t deserve to have access to this kinda shit. Hopefully it never will tbh.

I’m glad I grew up slightly before this time.

Ya they were rolling back mass deleted/edited comments. That was a huge red flag for me, along with censoring info about lemmy etc. I don’t need that in my life.

Upon my most recent browse, I have noticed a drop in engagement for sure, and my attention has been brought to many “how do you feel about X” comments that are poorly hidden bots driving discourse. Maybe I’m just more aware of it now though. I’ve definitely noticed a change though.

I was actually thinking about this the other day for some reason. AI scraping my own original stuff and doing whatever with it. I can see the concern and I’m curious where this goes and how a court would rule on a pretty technical topic like this.

I’m over 30, but I’m tech stupid compared to everyone else here, but I can follow, and understand the jist ftmp of the conversation. Not my area of expertise. I grown up with the internet though obviously so I do know my way around.

If anything i’m probably just more open to new experiences than the average person, and I like learning stuff.

But in general I agree with your observations, and it seems natural for early adopters of a platform.
