I’ll have you know I meow at the ship computer.

Yes, intelligence is intelligence. There’s nothing about the rest of the body that the brain is encased in that makes one more or less deserving of rights.

I’m with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

I don’t think it’s entirely the app. I’ve had it happen to my Lemmy.world account using Jerboa and Connect, so I think this must be them working on stuff after the hack.

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It’s a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think “Weird. Moving on.” and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

It’s not all bad, but I miss the sort of “wild west” feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn’t real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like “Gary’s Favorite Garlic Breads”, just run by Gary, who isn’t trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

Turn-based combat rocks though! It feels more strategic and tactical.

Was a “fuck cars” user? They can be pretty ignorant and unreasonable sometimes.

Maybe you should’ve just biked that 100 miles. Lol

So much outrage and doom. The algorithm rewarded people being more and more extreme, even about real problems.

Like, yes I lean left like reddit, but not every issue is the biggest scandal that has ever existed.

If you get swept up in that stuff, you’d think the world was about to end. And you’d frequently encounter people who think just so.

Both of you are shortened for me, unlike most others in this comment section. Weird.

Those secret Santa trophies… Back when it used to feel like a community.

You made this?

I made this.
