And humans are also unquestionably idiots with their agenda.

Bots just do their job.

“It’s just a joke” is perfectly valid, dammit. Once. After that, do not repeat it - you already know the person you aim it at doesn’t enjoy it.

By who? Didn’t Trumpelon piss off federal agents of all kinds?

This sounds to me like satire. If you hire people, you need to go through HR process and then you are rewuired to pay them monthly.

System is one and done. It may be pricey up front, but as they already have infrastructure in place, long-term costs will be laughable compared to additional employee per every shop.

In what world keeping employee doing useless work is worth it?

Polish ID’s are slready digital. The question is whether you want to have it in-app or not. Also the gov bent over backwards so we can essentially do 80% of stuff online - from taxes to forms, most things can easily get done online. And why gov likes it? It reduces amount of workers and headline, because a lot can be automated, and also ensures more people will bother with shit because it’s easier.

Well, to keep profile on Bluesky they essentially keept the same social media presence guy and just tell him to switch. To add to it Mastodon, they suddenly need to extend infrastructure to add a server, need to have someone manage that server and on top of that make that social media presence guy also take care of posting there. If they even have that guy and it’s not simply something Monica from HR is doing.

And all that for what, maybe 500k people using it? Accounting for people not hearing about it, not being in EU, not caring about it etc. etc.

For comparision, Bluesky has 3 times Mastodon’s users and it’s growing quicker than Mastodon, being seen as viable alternative to twitter/x.

For the love of god wake up people, do you know what little percent of people know about fedi? Services like these jump to where the public is, not drags public behind it. Bluesky made huge jump publicity wise, and that’s when it was already more widely known than fedi. Moaning about it doesn’t help.

In perfect world, we’d have country-specific instances with all national news and announcments centralised in there, to which people could easily subscribe to. But that even sounds complex to average person, compared to “Hey, Bluesky? Yeah twitter but better”.

Cat tax had a little different meaning back then…

Here I am, going to get downvoted into oblivion, but you already speak about the topic so I want to ask.

Trans people have the cure for their condition - that being surgery. Why shouldn’t being trans (before actually transitioning!) considered being ill?

Sorry if I come as rude but in today’s hellscape there’s really no way to ask that without sounding like a douche.

I have a problem with idea of gov sayimg what goes. Whatever gov. If it’s your site - whatever goes, goes. You set the rules. Sheesh.

But I admit I am nos so sure when it comes to giants like FB or X. If they were like that from the get go, sure, but sudden switch is iffy as hell.

We had great teachers, don’t take ne wrong. Simply nobody trusted them anyway. Like, once I had a teacher that whole class was ready to throw hands for, yet still, except for joking around, nobody trusted her.

Maybe it’s cultural thing, I dunno.

I get that it’s the aim but I am gonna be blunt. I never trusted any tracher. I liked a few, but that’s it…and when I grew up, this was mirrored in most of the male group. Girls tended to be more open to teachers, but that’s it. Is it any different today?

I admit I lack the ground to stand on here, so I’ll back off. Most of my experience is more of me and people I know - I know I had sbortcomings and mental problems due to parents divorce, again know few people who were raised withoit father. That’s mostly what influences my view.

However examples you raised are hella interesting, but I also cannot help but wonder how these children grow up compared to 2+1/2+2 family. There are for sure differences - after all even higher amount of children bears high influence - but I wonder what these are. Will look for it later. Thanks for dropping these.

1. I do not agree that people in such kind of relationship are any worse for each other than in normal case. At least if they entered it knowing that it’s something that works for them. So i won’t dispute this.

2. About children tho…isn’t it actually proven that children need designated father and mother figure? I know of few people who didn’t have father figure and they are all kinda damaged. Though probably such family could simply designate two main guardians and treat rest as close aunts and uncles…so dunno, maybe a moot point.

The proper way is to respect the law and vote for it’s change, not to break the law and cry after a fact.

I mean, yeah. But also not everyone.

It worked well for so long because it is a good solution. Allow users to block and let everything fly as long as it’s not a personal attack. The community will relatively quickly sort itself out.

Sadly, today there are exception to block button working >:(

Edit: Hell. isn’t BlueSky pretty much riding this today? People made blocklists and give fuck all about the less nice side of the site. And people who are intersted can keep seeing stuff.

Yes you effing can. It’s called block button.

Site selling your data? Riot!

Site having ads? Riot!

Site offering subscription? Riot!

…why no site?

I mean, to be honest…if you are about to hit a deer on the road anyway, speed up. Higher chance the scrawny fucker will get yeeted over you after meeting your car, rather than get juuuuust perfectly booped into air to crash through windshield and into your face.

Official advice I heard many times. Prolly doesn’t apply if you are going slow.

Edit: Read further down. This advice is effing outdated, disregard. -_- God I am happy I’ve never had to put it i to test.
