Ah the ol "it's not 100% effective and guaranteed to work so you should actually do nothing about it" argument...a true classic in any situation

Seriously though...I never even considered all the splashing and I'm a grown ass adult :/ happily my and my daughters toothbrush live in the kitchen

I don't participate in any threads I just read nosleep lol

Actually I don't read any threads other than bestofredditorupdates because I don't trust the fodder of people that stuck around either!

I go back for /nosleep all the time - the quality of the rest of the site has frankly dropped drastically.

People are still rioting so to speak, content just seems weak - as in I haven't been on popular really since I joined lemmy, certainly not in weeks. Who can really trust those that didn't care to be all that interesting?

The politics page is boring. The headlines say nothing. Seriously - maybe subtle now, but clear enough for a good chunk. At the very least, this didn't just go away

And now some people don't count as people

Holy shit How did it feel to be so content and one second later realize you didn't ever own what you accepted as reality?

I read every word and couldn't have written it better myself. It's a perfect letter to every nasty money hoarding dragon out there...the grinches stuck in time that never reform. Just take and take and take, glad that we rebuild, because it just creates more to take

Been on the internet a long time myself...earliest chat I can remember is something called PowWow? We could see each other type in real time...same thing as the writer though...no bad memories...just kinda talked to whoever :)

Yep, just found it the moment I realized it was a thing in this thread - go to your account settings and you'll find an option to unselect bot accounts

I wish there was a way to just mark bot accounts...like finding out it's a bot doing most the posting in TIL...wtf is that? If the community needs a bot to grow it, perhaps it's not an important community on Lemmy at this time? Perhaps there's another sub that's going to grow more organically? In which we will infact learn something today?

Just want bot-less communities (other than fun/helpful ones that aren't Grond) that aren't headed by greed. Jfc.

I'm really not looking for a Reddit replica. And um, being rewarded for a good comment isn't really something I need. Or anyone needs. I think getting a cookie for a good comment can be left behind

Edit to add - I should have read the rest of the post more carefully, but I stand by my initial sentiment. Money needs to be funneled into those working hard on this, but I don't know, I don't want more and more Reddit features coming out

No fences up my ass here, I didn't jump so quickly to lemmy to be immediately joined to fucken Facebook. Like. At all. I'd bet a quick poll would speak loudly

Lemmy is not a place for the type of people that end needlessly rude sentences with LOL. Everyone hates the LOL at end

Brooooooooooooooo

Thank you. I've been letting the instance concept just kind of float by undetected figuring I didn't need to understand it to navigate it I suppose. But I much prefer to understand :) thanks for the concise wording

Yeah, and they shut down the sister sights (OOC and nosleepfinder)

The stories aren't getting much for upvotes anymore, but I've usually stuck with the archives. What's killing me is not linking stories in nosleepfinder. That was my favorite pass time at night lol...my little bit of good in the world
