Have you considered defederating everyone for the dopamine hit?

Google is completely useless for finding anything organically now.

The last couple of times I've had to phone shop have been a nightmare of SEO-keyword articles and promoted junk.

If it keeps up this way, we're going to be completely dependent on AI to sift through the junk for us.

They took the pepe frogs for a while too, but I've been seeing them come back. Nature is healing.

I remember the early days of instant messaging where people would just jump in a chatroom and ask where others were from, then sit there in awe. "HONEY, I'm talking to someone from Ireland! HONEY! Come look!"

Is it my app or Lemmy that doesn't like ampersands?

This is depressing, but it also bothers me that there's such a large distinction between how the average person would picture a "school shooting" and what these articles are talking about. Is there a name for that in journalism?

Like, if someone told me "there was a school shooting at school X today", like most people I would immediately picture someone walking into the building and firing indiscriminately at everyone. Not, "a couple of teens got in a fight in the parking lot, and one pulled out a gun", or "someone shot at the school's sign". (Which are also horrible, but I feel like we need separate terms)

From the article:

According to the report, the most commonly known situations associated with such incidents included "escalation of dispute," "drive-by," "illegal activity," "accidental firing of a weapon" and "intentional property damage."

I figured it was just his name. He looks like a Lemmy to me.

I don't see them reversing course on this.

Even at the cost of their company's image, reputation, and potentially jumpstarting competitors.

It's horrible, don't get me wrong. I worry about my own little one, but the distinction is an order of magnitude of a difference in my head. Like the distinction between a troublemaker throwing a lit match in a trash can vs some maniac dousing a building in gasoline.

I'm using reddit until RIF stops working, then Lemmy will take over exclusively on mobile. I'll probably still check reddit on desktop, but that's like less than 5% of my typical use.

I think whatever guides are given, they need to be simple.

I delayed making the jump to Lemmy for a while because every time I saw someone explain it, they got into all the complexities of the fediverse that weren't really relevant to me yet, and it seemed like too much trouble.
