Mostly I don't understand why they are announcing this without sharing what they're doing instead

Can we stop posting Reddit's ads here please

I refuse to believe this is real, they do kinda talk like that but this one doesn't sound right

I'm confused, I thought Elon was trying to kill Twitter on purpose.

Best of Redditor Updates 😭

They stopped teaching about computers. I tutored high schoolers about 10 years ago and they didn't know how to use computers fluently. It moved to the realm of expecting parents to teach to their kids along with taxes and career planning.

Speaking of which, I grew up in the 90s pre Internet, and started using the Internet in middle school. Definitely never got any official Internet safety lessons. Maybe I was a little too early? Idk. But by the time I was 30 schools were not teaching this at least from what I saw

The insecure to controlling pipeline

I love Natalie Wynn and Abigail Thorn, they both put out some of the finest philosophical content and contemporary analysis in existence. I watched everything I could find.

Wow. I don't have any coherent words.

Do the content creators miss out on views bc of this?

It often doesn't work well for very short words, or uncommon words and whenever I have to stop swiping to tap out individual words I feel like a time traveler being forced to use pre-historic tools.

"Disney claims it needs to destroy the content to cut costs on platforms that aren’t making money, but experts say the company is overstating the value of its content — which could ultimately help the company pocket a higher tax break.

In May, Disney told regulators that it will incur $1.5 billion in losses as part of its content purge. Disney’s chief financial officer, Christine McCarthy, told investors Disney was making “excellent progress on our cost-cutting initiatives,” on its May earnings call, including “removing certain content from our streaming platforms.”

How can it be both?

Arrogant fucking humans. This story plays out every time. And they want to blot out the sun to control climate change... We deserve everything we get for our hubris. I can't wait for humanity to collapse we are a scourge

I really resonate with your comment and also struggled with depression throughout my teens into adulthood until I learned about late diagnosed adhd and how those who fly under the radar for that can often lead to chronic burnout which is very similar looking to depression. Have you ever considered you might be ADHD?

This comment is violence against me 😭

This was a good sub, glad to see it here

I mean yeah sure, except that she was ousted for being not fascist enough. So it's not like the group is somehow better now. It's all still just as fucked. But I enjoy seeing her kicked out of anything

I imagine most people are like me and wouldn't go into your profile unless they knew at least some kind of reference to what the app is for

Ah yes, we know of the TumTum gender as well https://imgur.com/gallery/CKLmGQF

Jeezy creezy why do people still make white background webpages anymore

So we grew up with some absurd humor, especially in the early days of the Internet. Gen Z is just the logical evolution of that. Their humor tends more towards pure surreal abstract meaningless, and that's the joke.

Granted sometimes there's an inside joke with a kernal of basis in reality, but generally speaking if you are confused about what it means, that's probably the point

I put it in my car. It might as well have disappeared from sight.

Is this really true that men aren't looking for this same validation or do they just generally vent less because generally speaking men have fewer close friendships and maybe are less used to having anyone to vent to? Just thinking out loud

Can we get this on fdroid?

I have been wanting to do this but I also think my body will just think I haven't eaten because I haven't chewed anything, you know what I mean?

Idol tbh

Indeed. I'm often overwhelmed by my feelings of fear and anger. Reading this gave me such a sense of futility, like wow I must be destined to die a slow and painful death of cancer, if poverty or civil uprising doesn't get me first. Discussion seems silly at this point. Capitalism has sealed our fate, there's little we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones in this environment. Everyone should be just as angry. To not be this angry one must be dissociating... Which is what I'll go back to now until the next article wakes up my fear and anger again.

I don't know that they have classes like that

I'm sure this will happen. People do get crazy when Internet arguments occur. But what is the risk to you I wonder? If they do something that will get them banned, it will only affect that account. Do others really pay attention to usernames? I don't.. I could see someone coming into a contentious debate and trolling but ultimately do any of these debates really matter outside of just the sharing of knowledge and ideas? I'm trying to think how it could really negatively affect me other than just being rude and offensive to my ego.

There was supposed to be a picture attached but it's not working ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Right? Give me this magical spring roll fountain

I mean I think it's why many of us are here ❤️

Babe charge your phone you're making me nervous

God there's so many times when I wish I could use the Internet without using my eyes

You're right you're right, it's just so painful to go from dark mode to blinding white I wish my preferences were the default mode for once in my life instead. Or better yet!!-- normalizing having a toggle for either one as basic to every website!! Omg please God can we have this

No shit

I am so angry that they don't have an easy "report this posting" button. Firstly, you have to go on a computer, you can't do it at all on the app. Then it's a tiny bit of text kind of hidden under suggested products and the report form doesn't allow you to upload photos or anything so it just feels like it's a throw away form. So I did that and then contacted the customer service bot and you have to be careful how you word it because "I need to report a fraudulent seller" makes the bot respond with prompts about phishing emails or calls pretending to be from Amazon and if you try to go back and start over it remembers what you've already said and gets confused and just gives you dead ends... But if you can just get it to give you a customer service rep you can eventually get them to say nice words to you pretending they will investigate an "take care of it". Which I'm sure is bullshit. Gahhhhh such angry

I appreciate the pep talk. I'm an engineer in water resources and do my best to help where I can. Sometimes I have outbursts on the Internet and sometimes I fall into frighteningly deep depression. I removed my ability to have children in my terror of bringing life into a the world so dark. So it's not one or the other -be angry and do nothing or have hope and work towards a better future. I'm very angry and very frightened and very jaded... And I'm doing what I can to hopefully prove myself wrong. I would very much like to be wrong. I don't have much hope most days and do believe the planet would be much better off of humans were at least much reduced in number. But I have loved ones and empathy for strangers, as well as a sense of self preservation so I don't relish the thought of suffering. Things can be more than one thing at the same time. I'm not sure how to develop hope, and I'm not sure how people like yourself still carry any, but I have the kind of steadfast resolve to help my fellow humans reduce their suffering at the end. There's a great deal of good that humans can do as well, art, music, stories, love. Those are the threads that keep me bobbing close to the surface. But yeah, I avoid the news almost entirely except for a few trusted sources and what I can't help but run across on Lemmy, etc. I'm too sensitive clearly

Lemmy/voyager noob here... When I click on that link it doesn't open the community in voyager, it opens it in an internal browser where I'm not logged in so I can't easily subscribe unless I log in or go back and search for the community. What do I need to do in order to get clicked links to open the community in voyager?

It's aight. I just want to see all the billionaire bastards burn
