U.S., and I don’t know how many businesses here use it, but I think it’s quite possible to avoid using it socially here. I’m not sure if I even know anyone who does use it, and certainly no one has asked me to get one.

Relatable content, sigh. I get good mileage out of a pill caddy for things I take the same time every day (I can see that I have pills for all the days until Thursday, or whenever, and plan accordingly) but that doesn’t work for everything.
This. Social media can be used in a healthy way, but that doesn’t mean social media addiction doesn’t exist.
I’m glad I’m not the only one, lol. I’m just sitting here like, “I think my addictive behavior is coming from the inside, because if I get the same kind of stimulus, I have the same response…”
But, on the plus side, Lemmy is doing a much better job of delivering dopamine hits than Reddit was. Reddit is like the dealer who gives you good stuff at first, then starts cutting it with something else, raising the price, refusing to answer the phone for a month while you’re having withdrawals, and generally making your life miserable for no good reason.
It would, lol, but I was going for the lowest common denominator on this one. The “omg dad, that is the stupidest joke I have ever heard” dad joke, rather than the extended pun kind. But maybe I should work up a blood bank version, for those who want juicier content.
Aren’t pictures the point of Instagram, though? I don’t use Instagram, but I would not expect people to like something that is basically a picture sharing service without the pictures.
And in my opinion, the ChatGPT summary is a pretty good condensation of those 500 words. There are some things that are said more than once, and some details that are interesting, but not crucial for having a discussion about the topic, particularly with a focus on privacy.
Sure, 500 words isn’t a big ask, but I think when 500 words really conveys 300 words worth of content, and easily boils down to more like 100, it is reasonable to choose to read 100. I enjoyed reading 500, but that doesn’t mean everyone should.
[/I took a lot more words than necessary, lol, it’s because I am a degenerate]
Thank you for this excellent response.
Thank you for your hard work, and for keeping us updated on the situation.
Paid in IOUs, maybe. I think Reddit is too cheap to pay for people to mod large subs when it can just let the large subs turn into large shitholes for free.
I agree that it would be nice if Huffman got the boot, but I think it wouldn’t be good to let the other managing scumbags say, “hey, big scumbag gone, no one here but us Good Guys(TM),” which might be what they’re already planning to do.
Teachers are usually optimists, I think. The idea that your students will someday be excellent [although now, they are little snots] is part of the appeal of any kind of teaching or coaching. It’s sort of an abstract benefit, since teachers rarely get any credit for what they do, but still, it’s great to find out that someone you taught or trained is now hugely successful at the thing you helped them learn.
