I was just thinking the same thing. It's rare that the bullshit from tech companies is so quickly identified packaged and labeled like that (even if we are still calling it "AI").
I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the intelligence of a woman who would marry a Lemmy user.
I agree! Don't run your mouth in public then complain when someone asks you how do you know the thing you're running your mouth about is true. If in 2034 someone who has never seen snow wants more evidence than some idiot on the Internet's feelings on the topic then asking is totally justified.
I think it's totally reasonable to ask for a source about a historical claim if something hasn't been true for over a decade?
The average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.
Actually about a third of all users have an adblocker installed. Adblocking has been mainstream for a while, no doubt why Google finally stopped pretending they were OK with it.
What you've expressed is not pessimism it's cynicism.
The difference is that Lemmy is not centralized. So it can't really be over-populated. If an instance is poorly modded and doesn't have that vibe you like you can find one that does. The more people using Lemmy the more options there will be, it's the opposite of Reddit.
I quit because contributing my labor made me complicit.
