Can the internet ever be fun again? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

there's the indieweb movement, smaller sites trying to have fun, like neocities

the mods have gone psycho over at reddit in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

lots of [removed] and [deleted] and way too many sub rules

it's hard to know if just going to lemmy or trying to improve reddit are better strategies (or some other reddit alternative)

the problem is "intellectual property" existing at all, just get rid of it entirely and make everything public domain

For Mods of Reddit, Have You Privated Subs in Protest of Last Year's API changes or something else? (hilariouschaos.com)
 

So I see a bunch of subreddits are still down from last year's protest. Is it wise to do this, or to do something else? Like, if you're a sub mod is it good to private the sub and go to a different site and redirect people, or will reddit ban your account if you do this too much, or what do you think is the best way to respond to last year's confusion? The problem is still a lot of people use Reddit... so what's the best way to handle where Reddit is at right now? Mods privating subs?

Fireworks should be banned on the 4th of July in America in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

there are some alternatives popping up like drone light shows (which can do some interesting displays fireworks can't?) and if they got popular enough maybe people wouldn't feel a need for fireworks as much

Redditor: "Did Covid Shutdown 4 Years Ago Feel Like 9/11"? (hilariouschaos.com)
 

To me it did, because the 9/11 narrative was based on a bunch of lies and so when "covid" rolled around I was ready for some of the lies that would be happening with this event.

We knew it was a bad idea to support any mandatory lockdowns from the beginning because we saw the destructive "Patriot Act" that came out after 9/11 which was abused.

The positive to me is that I think a lot of people did not go along with the lies enough, and a lot of people are awake and aware of any shenanigans that might be pulled on the population now going forward, even if they don't agree that "covid" responses were built on a bunch of lies.

"Any other mid-30s millennials starting to panic about not having kids?" (hilariouschaos.com)
 

this was from /r/all, this was a foreseen crisis that a lot of millennial and now zoomer women have been very unmarried and chronically single and will at some point become unable to have kids (approaching that point now?)

honestly I've never been super focused on becoming a parent, I thought it was something that might happen, but I've also been pretty single throughout life and considered an intentionally celibate life

It was really always just about meeting the right person, and I've met some "ok" people I'm just not sure who would be the "right" person for me

The parents of some of these kids seemed to give them no warning that they have a timeframe to have kids within though
