Politics and whatever the other maladies are that infect Reddit aside: the app and the website are impossibly difficult to use. Ita just ads ads ads. Even if the place was a veritable utopia that’s a no from me dawg.

Positive and negative are qualitative and measures in this case.

Subjective ones at that.

The halcyon days of Lemmy lasted a week or so. As soon as you have mods coming over for Reddit you have all the shit they are schlepoed along with them. I’m only in here when I’m shitting and then only because I’ve memorised the blurb on the back of the air freshener can already.

The Lara Crofts boobs comparison is still the most accurate IMO.

The only millennials I give a shit about are the ones who made my life painful as they entered the working world and even then, away from the office as long as they are not trying to police speech we are chill.

As a genx I can say like, whatever man.

Lolllers. Imagine AGI trained on Facebook. I mean literally just sit there and think about it for a minute.

Do you want an insufferable antivaxx Karen overlord? Cos that’s how you get an antivaxx Karen overlord.

Ah sorry, thanks for the correction.

Ironically I think they are referred to as the silent generation. I’m genx my parents are boomers and older brother is silent generation. I think.

So you accidentally learned the greatest lesson the church has to offer. Salvation for a profit.

I like your take.

I don’t feel I’ve been wronged btw. I feet that human nature is as it does. I was looking for a lesson, a way to improve things out of it.

I appreciate your thoughts but I’ll refrain from commenting further on the silly spat. It’s not important to this topic and in retrospect I should have left it off my OP and just posted the ideas I’d had.

Thank you for you thoughtful post.

Thanks, appreciated.

Certainly if they can be owned then communities are not communities but rather commodities. So yes, in name only, which is sad.

I’ll try to be more polite in future. Moving goalposts, cherry picking and doubling down on proven falsehoods is frustrating though so I’ll admit that I lose my patience at times.

These are not the facts. The facts are still there for all to see. Why lie?

My post of the topic of LSD was a response to the OP not a wild tangent. They brought it up.

Yes, looking over the responses I agree with the consensus that my ideas are naive at best. Thanks for your thoughtful post.

I enjoy the truth. Which you are correct - can be uncomfortable at times.

All good points. Besides which consensus is that my ideas in the OP are naive at best, which I accept.

One comment I would like to make is that ownership of a community is an oxymoron. Obviously. But I totally get your points and thank you for your thoughtful post.

Fair.
