Sometimes people ignore consequences because they simply haven't thought through the consequences. That's a very normal human thing. Laying it out this way can persuade some people.
Some people might even become consequentialist when shown the consequences they hadn't fully considered before.
Bold of you to claim most millennials understand how a computer works.
True, it's a misapplication of the original thought experiment.
But it also kind of lays bare the consequences of choosing "the moral high ground" over an outcomes-based approach to morality. And I think that is still a useful thing.

These days at least we have streaming services. If you can get them hooked on the good stuff (eg Bluey) or the tolerable stuff (eg Octonauts) you can (mostly) get away from the worst stuff (Cocomelon and it's million somehow even more cheaply made derivatives).
I think the big thing is that Lemmy isn't nearly as monetizable as other social media. What that means to me is that if we do grow, it'll be largely organic. It'll be at a pace where the culture won't change overnight. If we get big enough to have real issues, we can meaningfully splinter to more manageable sizes, or moderate shit stains into instances with no reach beyond themselves.
In short, so long as we maintain interoperability standards, I think we will have all the tools needed to keep things from enshittification. We might just grow out of pure longevity as other social media enterprises slowly but surely kill themselves.
But that could be wishful thinking. Who knows!
From what I've been reading, it's so close to vote buying and similar crimes it's a legal grey area at best.
Long hard fight.
We take our Ws where we can get them.
Interesting. Can't say that would ever work for my circumstances, but I at least get where you're coming from a bit better. Thanks!
So like... do you play the game with no sound? Does your gaming partner hear everything coming through your speakers into your phone's microphone?
I'm just struggling to understand how that could be a good experience for anyone, including you. Am I just missing something?
Edit: oh, I missed the wireless earphone on one side thing. Is that for your phone or for the game?
You want to... be on the phone for video game chat?
I cannot fathom this mindset.
Rumble isn't any better. It's where my dad gets his COVID conspiracy material after folks got kicked off other platforms.
