I’d imagine you’re rather unique. I have a hard time imagining atheists believing in something as nebulous as a soul.
EDIT: Please don’t downvote OP, if anything this is a more interesting discussion thread than just “No, we’re just meat and electricity”
Yep that’s exactly what I was trying to convey. It does feel like the early internet days when everything was just a bit broken and streamlined UX was not at the forefront of tech. The primary users were the geeks that could figure this stuff out.
I kind of like the lower comment count. It sucks when there are literally no comments, but for me, I’m much more inclined to leave a comment when there aren’t too many already. Plus I found most comments were really low effort jokes. For every well thought out comment, there were a million ‘this’ type comments.
Plus everything is just a bit broken and requires some figuring out. I’m definitely pretty tech savvy, but I’m having a hard time imagining non tech savvy people figuring out how to sign up and access these communities, at least not in the current state of things.
Wasn’t the person who made the trailer city someone who is very active in the YouTube scene? I’d imagine they designed the city to minimize traffic. Also, like you said, it’s in a beta state so there may just be fewer cims. I have a hard time imagining that they release a cities skylines game and not have extensive traffic simulation.
An investment firm bought shares of Reddit (and some other privately held tech companies) at a certain value. In this instance they thought Reddit was worth ~$10 billion. This was August 2021. They now think it’s only worth about half that. So they’re having to update their books to indicate that they don’t actually think they’re holding $X of Reddit, but actually only about $0.5X of Reddit.
Pic of the tree so we know what we’re dealing with?
My go to is just screaming
I’m one of the new users and I do have to say the fact that I had to jump through less hoops to sign up with .world was a big reason why I signed up there. When you’re trying something new the less friction the better to acquire new users. I don’t want to write an essay on why I want to get an account. I know we want to minimize bots, but there are other ways to do that than throwing unnecessary road blocks in front of users who are skeptical to join to begin with.
Being in a stroller and the sun being incredibly bright overhead. Must have been around 2 years old.
Really good summary. I think this is exactly why I never really took to Twitter and I never really realized why, but it’s exactly that. I’m more interested in topics than specific people.
The funny thing is on Reddit I was mostly a lurker/content consumer. There was little incentive to actually post because your post or comment was likely to just be drowned out in the absolute torrent of other posts/comments. Here I’m actually able to be heard.
Now let’s see Paul Allen’s instance
What is the ! community? Is that some sort of lemmy specific magic name?
Good lord, they’ll do anything to push their app eh?
Yep it took me a while to figure out too. The android app just lets you click on the comment as well to collapse
Rushing out general purpose AI, what could go wrong
I hadn’t even thought that was a limitation
If they think that their API costs were high imagine how expensive paid moderation is.
Right, why participate if it’s just going to be buried under the mountain of other content.
