    When you do use traditional social media, try to actively downvote and if you can justify it report engagement bait. People will intentionally do stuff like pronouncing things wrong or even just straight up lying about shit just to get engagement from people correcting them. Also do the same for people that add nothing but their facial expression to call something their own content or even another stolen video played side by side or who post still memes as video.

    Federation has the opportunity to solve a lot of these issues but unless special attention is taken to create voting systems that promote healthy community engagement the corporate pressures will eventually push into these spaces as well. I’ve wondered for a while if there’s a good way to create an algorithm that would offer the comfort of a targeted media algorithm except readable, modifiable and executable only by the end user’s client. Piefed is probably the best push towards that kind of functionality currently, but very prototypically.

    I wouldn’t say it’s the equivalent but I kind of enjoy this…

    Have the day you deserve.

    It’s not pleasant if you’re an asshole and a grumpy fuck. And it’s great if you’re a good person…

      Be Kind, Rewind was released in 2008. I 100% was torrenting and seeding back then.

        Had no idea it was a movie, was a slogan at video rental places (that were pretty much out of business by 2008) before I was born. Seeding torrents is a p deece analogy for the benefit it provided

        i used to work retail, what annoyed me more than the cart stuff was when people just left refrigerated items they didnt want anymore on shelves. is it rly that hard to walk a couple extra seconds to put it back? just spoils food, attracts bugs

        edit: spelling

            Retail, not restaurant. Think groceries. It’s packaged. It’s fine to put back if it’s still sealed.

              Not if it’s been left on an unrefrigerated shelf for an unknown amount of time.

                I think this might be locally decided. When I worked retail we always put the food back and pretended nothing was wrong

                You misunderstand. I didn’t mean, “it’s fine to put random crap you find misplaced around the store back in the fridge”. I meant it’s fine for the people who put it on the shelf to instead put it back in the correct refrigerated/frozen section.

                OFC you shouldn’t put now unthawed crap back in the freezer or now warm things back in the fridge unless you know it hasn’t been out long… That should be common knowledge. I assumed noone would be dumb enough to take that interpretation, but here we are…

        At one of the bigger groceries I’ve been to, the wheels would lock up if you got too far from the store. Well, we’d parked outside that range so the wheels locked up and I had to awkwardly drag the full cart to the car.

        Being a good person, I went to drag it back to the return spot. The wheels did not unlock. Dragged it all the way back anyway.

        But given this, I can see why someone might just abandon their cart if the wheels are locked.

        My Dad tried to argue “it creates jobs”.

        He really didn’t want to accept that trolley pushers aren’t given more time to fetch the carts.

        All it does is make the job harder.

          Omg I bitched out these two ladies at the theater many years ago. Left a massive mess of popcorn, left drinks, everything. I asked if they were going to leave it, they said they’re helping the theater employees keep their jobs. I followed the bitches out of the theater and called them out in front of an employee cleaning another theater. Grown ass women. I was getting loud, they ran into the women’s restroom to avoid me, I left after that. Fucking hate people.

        • It doesn’t create any new jobs. It just creates a task the already employed people at the store need to deal with. Walmart claims they have dedicsted cart wranglers, but every store I have worked at just made CAP go out and do it during lulls in other tasks.

    Maybe about plugging in devices to charge when you’re done with them? Schools use laptops a lot now, but don’t think they’re communal ones on carts anymore.

    Given the economy, it may be “If you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t.”
