People that have been living as the bottom 99% their whole life and they keep telling others to "fork" or "make your own twitter" if you don't like it..
I see your point, change needs to happen at the top and the idea that 99% telling other 99% to fork it make their own whatever, is so beyond the pale that this needs to be re-evaluated by all.
The results is overwhelming "not good as it currently is" no? Your pedantry is so tiring and futile. lmfao
I think disallowing 3rd party api the ability to post would pretty much overnight stop all bots, whereas, in your head, you would have to investigate them all? no. we aren't on the same page or in the same textbook.
People like you are why any place of cultural import becomes less and less interesting as you inhabit and deteriorate the standards which used to be upheld from within. You are the ultimate consumer. "I don't care" is not a position in any philosophical debate, why should it stand here?
It’s also about how it could be used for astroturfing and propaganda, filling platforms with artificial posts meant to condition their users.
That's the nail I am trying to hit here.
Why are you telling me this? I don't care that you think you're adding value by summing totals of a poll for me. That isn't a convenience, that's an irritant.
You can once they have both been set up, the history from that point on is shared.
Okay so then, if a human wants to post score of every sports game to a community, they can't unless they practice the discipline in doing so. A bot removes the human limitation and allow them to do something that is not possible otherwise, and I believe the end result is content that is removed from the humanity behind it in the first place. A self-defeating prophecy that spells my disinterest and permanent doom for fediverse -- I can't stand this place and the ignorance regarding sensitive topics and the disdain to change.
The same reason you said a 32 hour work week is impossible, "because manufacturing"
Why does overtime exist already? The question you are asking on the face is so asinine it barely merits a response.
. Perhaps we can coexist in digital whirls, As long as codes and ethics concur.
Huh, funny how that is literally impossible but your position on bots is to keep acting like it's already proven to be true.
If you need a bot to convert links for you, you don't have a brain.
I use firefox and I have ascended from a lifestyle of tab fiefdom. I only have a handful of tabs open at a time, no more than 5.. hell, I have my browser closed 100% of the time unless I'm actively browsing. Couldn't you just create a folder which bookmarks, then "open all" bookmarks to open a virtual "tab group"?
