Nope

We all mourn in different ways. Here at the CIA we mourn by doing terrorism.

Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It’s the wrong shape.

I think your wife invented that

Hey that’s my password too

I used to work at the CIA. We did 9/11

So again, it’s not valuable to you. It’s obviously valuable to the people that keep using it. So it is… valuable.

That’s not what “valuable” means.

Yeah they want to make it too difficult to bother intentionally unsubscribing.

The universe growing souls like flowers, or something

I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.

“The customer is always right” is a very popular saying, usually uses by managers to tell their front-facing employees that they must prostrate themselves before the customer on behalf of the corporation.

This is to create a false feeling of entitlement and service in the customer while the corporation seeks to squeeze all value from both employee and customer.

None of those relationships fit into the fediverse scheme.

This helps, thanks!

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

Is there a page where we can see which instances are ban-crazy and which ones actually federate and communicate?

I’m criticizing people criticizing people for criticizing people who criticize people who criticize…

I might have to go here. I’m already tired of defederation and its histrionic champions.

You’re not describing how Reddit has no value. You’re just saying that you don’t like it, or it’s not valuable to you.

It’s amazing that spez saw what Musk did and thought, “I should do that to Reddit.”

Reddit was a living thing. An ecosystem of interaction which was so robust it frequently generated content that was useful in Google search results. The shitposts were essential to that ecosystem. There were also bots, which is inevitable.

That ecosystem has collapsed.
