Can you imagine how exciting it would be though when this actually started to work? This probably started as a side project, with a dude saying like, nahhh this could never work.
Until suddenly it did
When I think of all the horrible shit that goes on in the world, the thing that keeps me going is that Greta Thunburg is responsible for the Tates getting arrested. Life is wonderful sometimes.
I'm all for defederating from tankie instances. They suck.
As a mental health worker, if a client got involved with something like this, I'd be thrilled. This sounds like it provides purpose and community to all involved. Good for them!
Dang that's actually really sad. Omegle, for all its faults, was sort of like the weird alleyway that you could go to and know that you'd have some kind of interesting experience.
I'm sad to see it gone.
Since when is rcs dead? More and more of the people I use texting with come "online" all the time.

Maybe not the solution, but the ideal answer would be a conversation and family therapy
They are allowed to exist, but they don't need to advertise for them.

Corporations who are pushing the narrative that people don't like this are out of their mind.
Was Twitter ever really a left leaning platform in the first place? It pretty much always felt like it was filled with Russian bots and maga shit.
So I guess good job Musk for burning down a shit website? Lol
As a side note, Mastodon is legitimately fantastic. The community there is genuinely nice.
If you live anywhere outside of the US, the question is irrelevant, because everyone uses whatsapp etc.
Within the US, if you are over the age of 30, it probably doesn't matter.
if you are under the age of 30 AND in the US, I mean, if someone does judge you for it, you at least have a great way to filter shitty people out of your life lol.
So this is probably a plan to call out Elon musk's stupid "pay to sign a petition" plan. Basically just buying votes. The more attention these schemes get, the more likely they will be made officially illegal.
Sort of a Satanic Temple maneuver. I like it.
