I feel like we need a Redditor's Anonymous community lol.

Hi I'm Swintoodles and I've tried to open reddit 3 times this morning. The site is sparse, so I only browsed for 20 minutes, but I know I can get better!

Find me a community that doesn't persist primarily on the same small set of jokes.

• Factorio

• Deep Rock Galactic (lower difficulties)

• Risk of Rain 2

• OSRS (stay tf away from the general community, skill n' chill)

Games I used to play more for that comfy feel

• Minecraft (discovering cool new things in overhaul mods is just neat, probably need to figure out how to get my account back after the Microsoft stuff)

• TF2 Community Servers of the hyper casual variety, running in circles all day shootin' dudes is just fun.

Only becomes a problem if commenters/posters get out of hand. On a more mild topic like self-hosting it's probably not a massive issue for the foreseeable future.

I was about to say, it's the same system Reddit has just about, except instead of a corporation having your data, it's just some rando with a server.

I haven't dug into the Lemmy system at all, but would it not be possible for the server owner or other users to run a lemmy version of reveddit? Might not be a system by default, but I'd assume any system with direct access to the data can copy it over to a 3rd party no problem.

That always confused me as a child, since it was super easy to just test it for yourself. Turned out salt tasted salty regardless of where on your tongue it was, the same for the rest of the flavors.

Only reason I didn't go to lemmy.ml is because their top post was "please go somewhere else." Lol

Isn't Spez the guy that stealth edited some user's negative comments about him?

I really should get a new phone... didn't realize they drop old OSes so fast from security patches lol.

Only way that would help is if you're completely disconnected from the system and thus have nothing to take. They're taking photos of you online and then deepfaking them into scenarios, so your adversarial system would need to be active from the beginning to the end of your existence on parts of you (your face) that you want to protect, since having it only nearby opens up the opportunity for the attacker to simply cut out the adversarial system before feeding it to the machine.

Social media sites that have been in the red, growing primarily through fostering good will in their customers, are finally trying to turn a profit, and there isn't much available to profit off of without intentionally kneecapping some aspect of your product. Taking stuff away is the fastest way to pissing someone off.

PC exclusively nowadays. Not a fan of forced obsolescence rampant in consoles. Maybe the odd phone game to pass the time, but those are usually the most basic of games.
