I’ll have you know I meow at the ship computer.

Yes, intelligence is intelligence. There’s nothing about the rest of the body that the brain is encased in that makes one more or less deserving of rights.

This is amazing

I’m with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

Aye aye captain!

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It’s a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think “Weird. Moving on.” and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

It’s not all bad, but I miss the sort of “wild west” feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn’t real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like “Gary’s Favorite Garlic Breads”, just run by Gary, who isn’t trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

Both of you are shortened for me, unlike most others in this comment section. Weird.

Hi Dr Zoidberg!

The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.

They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.

lemmy.world and yours (sh.itjust.works), as far as I know.

They’re well within their right to do it, but it also sucks to see a fracture like that so early in the fediverse’s growth.

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

My answers were really short, and my app was approved. I figured it was a bot check, not actually reviewed by anyone.

I don’t really use my beehaw account though, because they’re heavyhanded with moderation and also cut off the largest lemmy instance, so I’d be missing a lot of content.

I’m actually finding myself more motivated to comment on lemmy because it’s less likely to get lost in the churn.
