Don’t be ridiculous. Why wouldn’t they just take it from the side of the moon that is facing away from us…cmon guys

You’re kind of not really engaging with me in good faith, but I’ll bite anyways.

The fact you didn’t kill yourself, frankly, proves nothing. Not because you’re a rando, but because there’s no control. That’s why I said you need to prove that social media is reducing teen suicides, compared to the time before social media.

Secondly, it’s debatable whether platforms like SO, forums and Reddit are actually social media, or merely link aggregators and forums. Those sites provide their content for logged-out users anyways, so children can still view them regardless.

Not to take away from what you went through, but unless you can prove that social media actively prevented teenage suicides from bullying and abuse, your story is merely anecdotal evidence at best.

You also don’t need social media to learn programming, there’s plenty of other resources

abbreviations are a normal part of human language, and have been around since long before the 90s

frankly I think that even the markdown support is too much for notepad. it’s supposed to be a raw text editor, why does it need new features? It was a finished product already

they just write down the cases he actually solves

Lemmy intransparently punishes users for using reaction GIFs, writing “this” comments and punches communities for having the words "meme’ or “shitpost” in the title? that’s crazy

I don’t think there’s a writeup, but I can search for explanations later, I’m kind of on the go rn. These filters are technically optional, it’s just another piece of trust you have to hand over to your instance admin and hope they don’t turn them on. Also you have to trust that these optional filters are the only ones, and that there won’t be any hidden filters.

If you wanna give it a shot then by all means go ahead, but I personally feel very uneasy knowing these exist and the dev is willing to implement algorithms to punish people who post “bad content” in their eyes

if only there was a way for devs to distribute changes to the software they made

The fact these filters exist in the first place are not a good sign. When Microsoft introduces new shitware that is “disabled by default” people are skeptical that it might not be disabled for long, but when a fediverse dev does it to block content they personally don’t like it’s fine? This goes against the entire concept of the fediverse imho. Just block people you don’t like yourself

piefed has an opinionated dev reimplementing karma and filters for content they don’t like right into the application

You’re just wiggling the saw back and forth, yet the log is eventually halved

This isn’t a meme

Not even remotely close to what I was saying

Sir this isn’t a democracy, this is a moderated community

I don’t believe crowds are inherently trustworthy or right. I can still question whether content belongs here or not, despite the crowd

Using this loose logic, literally anything can be related to science and be called a science meme

How is this a science meme
