Tesseract looks nice!

I’ll do it for you, Bernie.

English blue, math red, science green

Don’t forget tomorrow!

I feel like I heard that stuff during the 2020 primaries as well, but the spotlight has definitely shifted back on her so we’ll be hearing all sorts of things.

If you have ADHD WFH could be a lot more challenging. Without external structure or factors aid track of time it makes it super tough to work isolated like that.

Anything to make the sequel series more consistent would be better than what we got. Trilogy has gotta be 3 parts to a story, not 3 separate visions 🥲

Why is this downvoted, this is great!

Obligatory Weeeeoooweeeeoooweeee

Agree that the hyperbolic situations would be problematic but luckily tiktok is only one of the many social media options out there. I’d also consider that content like tiktok can be targeted at kids who arent developed enough to make the right choices yet. Taking freedom away is bad but getting hooked on tiktok is hardly a passive choice when it’s the platforms goal to keep you swiping and social influence makes it near impossible to avoid. I’d see it as a grey area when taking choices away. Like removing a lot of extra sugar from school lunches I think was already a goal, as is taking physical fitness in school. There are choices to avoid those options so it’s not a blanket ban on that opportunity, but I definitely don’t see it as a slippery slope.

There will be something new that pops up. Or the US companies out there might just buy tiktok anyways.

I like the idea of a slow increase over time. I remember Reddit did that one chatroom experiment where you started out small. And then merged with larger and larger rooms. Small rooms had at least a chance to hang and chat and the larger rooms turned into twitch chat spam. To a degree maybe the same could be said for comments, on Reddit now I still see thousands of redundant replies to subjects whereas here it’s definitely still fresh if not shorter chains.

Though in terms of niche topics it may definitely need more traffic somehow. I think reddit benefits a lot from its search indexing and if Lemmy ever began to appear in search traffic more like forums did in early Google I could see that improving.

It’s a hard habit to break

Classic!

I feel like I’ve heard a lot of bias placed against the idea of government in the US as something that’s the source of problems in the country, where private organizations are usually seen as being the solution and not at all related somehow. It doesn’t always strike the mark when criticizing private organizations… people will even jump to the defense of billionaires. Agree that mentioning government grocery stores would result in something like “what you want the government to run groceries? they can’t do anything right, why would you want them to do that?”

Genuine question, what’s the best way to tell if someone is a bot? Just the nature of their content/reposting of articles and such?

Us lurkers are still here (hopefully) but it’s easy to go back to the ways of scrolling without engaging

Thanks for doing what you do!

That’s seriously surprising, what of reddit is going to still be reddit by the time their IPO starts?

That’s a great article, thanks for sharing

Maybe that’s something that could be remedied somehow? One bad actor making space on the Fediverse and using it to data harvest from everything else, or at least just all the users profile info on it even if defederated sounds like a side effect with mixed implications.
