Meh, humanity is getting what it deserves. We literally did this to ourselves.

Lemmy should add something that differentiates porn from other nsfw types of content.

Same with nsfl stuff to be honest.

I feel like there’s three types of nsfw content that people either want to see or want to hide all of: porn, gore, other (eg drugs).

Having one tag/flair to cover them all was always a mistake for social media.

Things like weather will be fine unless you have an unreasonable boss/job.

But people should only use work computers the way they would if they knew the entire company was watching a live stream of their desktop.

Even for working from home, I put my work laptop on the isolated guest wifi because I don’t trust them the same way they don’t trust me.

AWS is perfect for large operations that value stability and elasticity over anything else.

It’s very easy to just spin up a thousand extra servers for momentary demand or some new exciting project. It’s also easy to locate multiple instances all over the world for low latency with your users.

If you know you’re going to need a couple servers for years and have the hardware knowhow, then it’s cheaper to do it yourself for sure.

It’s also possible to use aws more efficiently if you know all of their services. I ran a small utils website for my friends and I on it a while ago and it was essentially free since the static files were tiny and on s3 and the backend was lambda which gives you quite a few free calls before charging.

They just assume that because they continue to see anyone, that they are still seeing everyone.

I understand when most people have this thought on lemmy. But you know you’re on a reddit community, right? This place is dedicated to talking about reddit.

This is the case with anything to do with health. And often the best feelings are when some form of unpleasantness dissipates.

Ok, sure. Please tell me what I can do that will actually make a difference other than having it be a major influence in the way I vote?

This is a problem that only governments can solve and voting is the only way average people can hope to really influence them.

One person recycling or driving an EV makes no difference to the entire planet.

Let’s say I’m motivated. Wtf can I do that will actually. Make a difference. I could live off the grid or I could just spend all my money buying gas to literally just burn.

In the end, the planet will be exactly the same.

The only way to get real change is through large governments and beyond voting or talking to peers, hoping to convince them to vote for climate action, I just don’t see what I can do.

That’s better than some I’ve seen. Like 200 for everything and the text could even be “error”.

Or 500 with the text “invalid input”

I mixed piracy with s couple of tge larger streaming sites for a while. I’m 99% piracy now. (technically have prime video, but don’t watch it)

Yeah, I’ve had the best experience with top 6 hours for all. Blocked a couple communities but not as many as I would’ve thought.

Yeah, now reddit can’t really promote the final version of this one

Are you saying no protest has ever worked to affect change?

Overly simplistic take.

Protest ≠ boycott.

Hoping for change vs just giving up.

So why are you participating in a reddit community on lemmy then?

It’s such an oversimplification, it’s insane. “YoUrE sTiLl uSiNg ReDdIT”

I wonder if people with that same sentiment go to picketing protestors and yell at them, “Just quit!!”

As if the idea of trying to promote change rather than immediately giving up and moving on is anathema to them.

I was referring to your original point being short term thinking.

Long term vs short term thinking.

Short term it makes no difference.

But long term it could. People might get annoyed by the lack of content other than protesting and check reddit less. It also keeps the conversation on alternatives like lemmy here.

Also, if reddit believes that the community has genuinely turned against them and will ruin everything on purpose, they might rethink their actions (obviously unlikely).

Sometimes people just like to flip tables out of frustration even if it won’t accomplish much. A lot of angry redditors just want to burn it all down and I hope they succeed.

As an extreme example, if /r/place was truly covered with “fuck spez” 100%, would that be an enjoyable thing for people who don’t care about what’s going on? They’d probably get mad and leave. Which would hurt reddit.

It also costs reddit extra money to deal with all of this.

It’s similar to workers protesting instead of just quitting. There’s a point to protesting and not everything is solved with a simple boycott.

When digg was dying, many people still used digg, but just to point others to reddit. In hindsight, would you say that it didn’t matter since they were still using digg?

I’ve found myself taking my Steam Deck into the washroom instead of using reddit in there. Play a game for 10 minutes instead of doom scrolling.
