Yes you do.

Was just talking with a coworker about how with the rise of server-side rendering we’re finally technologically back to Web 1.0

Perhaps the government should collect money from the AI companies — they could call it something simple, like “taxes” — and distribute the money to anyone who had ever written something that made its way to the internet (since we can reasonably assume that everything posted online has now been sucked in to the slop machines)

There might be a lot more millionaires than before, but it’d still be a much smaller number who could drop $1M on a flying car.

I’d be willing to bet that there’s a direct relationship between not just the size of an online community and its overall “civility” level, but also its age. I’ve seen threads in chat rooms of 8 normally good-natured folks get Godwin’d just because they continued on for long enough that one topic turned heated. With Lemmy we’re seeing a natural increase in both.

I joined about 3 years ago and there was much, much less content and conversation, which definitely made me try to be more polite as possible to the few who posted (if only because it’d be the same folks over and over again and I didn’t want to discourage them from participating). Now that’s less of a concern, so while I still try to be mindful of my posts and comments, it’s to much less of a degree than before.

😂 Ok so the “regularly” in my post is doing a bit of lifting. Not too much tho (anchovy is the only other one you could possibly consider frequently used, unless you have a particularly bizarre vocabulary).

“Bizarre” is the only word from the Basque language that is regularly used in the English language

(Can’t wait to be proven wrong in 5… 4… 3…)

Yep, this is it. Show how “broken” it is by breaking it, and enough of the population won’t even notice when it’s “fixed” and they’re only getting 2/3 of what they were before (and are entitled to). Plus grift, etc.
