21st century bonzi buddy, no thanks

As a worldnet user old school Juno always had this mystic. AOL was always a blind spot though.

Its like almost like the sites are drugs and the users are junkies that will do anything for a hit.

mastadon is like being apart of that clique in high school that revolved around that one popular kid.

It’s more old school yahoo from what I remember

It’s almost like Israeli doesn’t equal Jewish. What a government of a country doesn’t equal a race of people. Plus those two people were American and Canadian and created Superman before Israel was even created by the British in 1946.

It doesn’t matter what he does. The other party ran on look how bad he is and he still won. The strategy of look at the bad stuff he does doesn’t matter when it comes to changing things. It’s just the other side of the outrage profit machine.

The only thing anybody can do is talk about how they will changed it. If that is even possible anymore by using the system and if not, how to change it via organized resistance. (I’m talking French style resistance not a hashtag or changing your profile picture or other online bullshit like that).

Pointing fingers and saying how bad they are or showing the hypocrisy like John Stewart had been doing for decades now. Flat out doesn’t work.

It’s like everyone forgot about open ID but also having accounts tied to the an instance is not the problem with good export and import. Communities are what we need to have abstraction on just like IRC if I go to @games i should see threads from all instances on the network. Just like everyone in an IRC network can talk in the same channel even though they connect on different IRC servers.

Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.

Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.

Yeah they do

If you are planning on running an open shell account server. I would look up joining the tildeverse as a member server.

That’s the one thing idiocracy got wrong it wouldn’t be Costco it would be Rent-A-Center

Yeah cause everyone joined but then abandoned their accounts we need a secondary value for date of last post

Yeah it’s like with the AI Gen posts. If they are not willing to put in the effort to post something real. Why should I put in the effort to engage with their content.

True i like your idea of marking them. Just when people join a community i hate that they have wade through a mess of discarded clutter. To find the good places.

Problem is a lot of people don’t remember early reddit it was the same way lots of tech folks then grew organic from there.

This 100%, honestly what lemmy/mbin needs is a clean up of dead communities. That were created and abandoned during the reddit api exodus. As well as the active communities that are just a bot posting content from reddit and nothing else.

At least we have the tildeverse

Yeah accounts are needed to post I’m talking just the AIs scraping content and them not respecting robots.txt.

We need to seriously AI proof before that happens or the bots will clean us out and eat all our bandwidth. The only thing keep us safe is we are under the radar.
