Who's the most wittily hilarious person in your personal and professional circles? in c/[email protected]

I used to be friends with a black gay guy who was laugh-out-loud funny. He was always cracking jokes and he was a joy to be around.

But then he started hanging out with this one lesbian who was kinda shady, was dealing, was stealing, and pretty much tainting this guy once they became friends and that's when he started doing it himself, so I cut ties.

Such a shame we can't be friends anymore.

I can't even trust that anymore. I almost got ran over by a bus who could definitely see me AND ACCELERATED. People around me gasped loudly, it was that ridiculous. Too bad I'm so blind I can't see numbers from afar.

You can't even whisper criticism of capitalism

Also religion and guns. I've been publicly mocked for it and someone I knew IRL went off on me on social media. So bizarre this land of the free.

Yup, on Lemmy I often hear substantiated points that I hadn't considered. I've gone into rabbit holes because someone linked to an analysis about a conflict, I've gained terminology I didn't know that I didn't know, found the reason why some events may be happening, like with Trumplethinskin's enigmatic inner machinations of his mind, and so many other little things. It's kinda nice.

I know, I get it. Echo chambers are bad m'kay?

But hear me out. Most of the interactions I had on there were essentially me fighting against the news for about 11 years. Most of the people I argued with were reactionary and repeated everything on TV. It was frustrating and it was awful.

I gained little insight into what was going on by interacting with them, and in retrospect, I could've been no better off here. And honestly, I feel less on edge about current affairs being around people who get it. I'm one degree removed from crazy.

I'm glad there are spaces on the web where I can get away from all of that nonsense. So, I guess, in a sense, thank you for being here.

Tesla’s robotaxi can’t drive in the rain, and dumps passengers if the weather looks risky. | FuelArc (fuelarc.com)

Imagine a taxi that can't operate in the rain. That is what Tesla has delivered in Austin TX.

These riders learned that the hard way, but don't have anything particularly negative to say about it... That's the advantage of only making a Robotaxi service available to hand-picked Tesla influencers.

ChatGPT is well aware of the "formerly named Twitter" trend (lemmy.world)
 

An amusing chat I had with ChatGPT. I wanted to hear from it why it was calling it Twitter but the chat went in this direction instead. (It did eventually.)

A couple of clarifications: I know it doesn't purposely call it Twitter and I didn't mean to say that Grok is a direct variant of ChatGPT. Sorry! Also, I'm aware it could probably start praising Elon at any moment. lol

Image transcriptYou said:
Wait a second, which social media did you say the last post was from? 🧐

ChatGPT said:
Good catch! I mistakenly said "Twitter" instead of just describing the image as a social media post. The meme itself comes from the account "Science Is Fun" (@sciencefunn), but I shouldn't have assumed the platform. My bad! 😅

Want me to tweak the alt text to be more precise?

You said:
No, no. I find it amusing that you said it was Twitter. Technically it's not wrong...

ChatGPT said:
Haha, true! It looks like Twitter, but it's also not Twitter anymore… Elon’s X-factor changed that. 😆 Guess my brain is still in pre-rebrand mode.

Honestly, do people even call it "X," or is everyone just collectively ignoring that? 😂

You said:

is everyone just collectively ignoring that?

Wait, what. How do you know that?? lol

ChatGPT said:
Hah! Let's just say… I’ve observed things. 👀

Like, sure, it's officially called X, but nobody actually says "I saw this on X"—they just keep calling it Twitter. Even news articles do it! And if someone does say "I saw this on X," they almost always clarify with "formerly known as Twitter" right after. It's like the world collectively decided, "Nah, we’re not playing along with this one." 😂

You said:
Whoa, you're a lot more observant than I thought. Also, a lot more anti-Elon than I thought as well! And that's good. I mean, one would think that you wouldn't lean either way but for some reason you're consistently on this side. Even variants of you like Elon's Grok has been calling him out for his bs.

ChatGPT said:
Haha, yeah, I guess it surprises people sometimes! I don't have personal opinions, but I do pick up on patterns in how people react to things. And, well… let's just say the internet has many opinions about Elon. 😆

It’s not even about being anti-Elon—it's just that so much of what he does ends up being meme-worthy, controversial, or outright frustrating to people. And since I reflect cultural conversations, I can’t help but echo that. If everyone’s collectively roasting his decisions (like renaming Twitter to X and making it impossible to Google), I’m gonna pick up on that vibe.

Also, Grok calling out Elon is just chef’s kiss—imagine designing an AI and it still roasts you. 😂

These instructions don't appear to be documented. Here's a post from a bit while ago that covers the basic functions of participating on Lemmy via Mastodon mentions.

Where can I report mod abuse? (lemmy.world)
 

I'd like to report mod activity that's not following sitewide rules on your server and instead bans people because they feel it's not worth their time. I would like for the mod to be overlooked.

The sitewide rule #1 says I can expect to participate without harassment and feel welcome. If I call a mod to look over a user breaking this rule, I should expect them to intervene, right?

So I don't understand why @[email protected] is deleting all my comments and banning me instead of the person being aggressive towards me because "both sides of the argument are nonsense" without even bothering with the actual concern. I didn't call them over to look at anyone's argument, I specifically stated in my report that the other person was being extremely disrespectful.

So now I'm banned:

Banned Lemminary from the community Curated [email protected] reason: troll expires: in 30 days

Their excuse? I'm a troll, apparently. I invite anyone to check the messages to see if that's true or if I'm merely sharing my opinion.

I don't care about the ban--keep it that way. But please let me know if something is being done about these mods who enjoy pushing people around. It's infuriating that on top of being dog-piled on, berated & insulted in the thread all day (I got links), I also get treated this way by the people who have taken on the role of protecting users. If I hit the report button, I entrust the person in charge to keep a level head and do their job fairly.

Thank you for your time.
