  • Not a stupid question at all, but honestly I don't know. I have seen that capability on other sites, so it's possible. If someone else doesn't answer here, you could probably look it up.

  • Exactly. Except it would be more like the one Tom and Harry designed. And not holographic.

  • As a Turkish citizen, I cannot stand this. Wake up! Turn to FOSS and Decentralized applications. The new pandemic is "identity verification" and every country is about to fall into this trap.

  • I don’t think our government institutions are able to address the speed at which things are developing.

    No, our current institutions are relics of our childhood stage, completely inadequate for handling the powers that science and technology have given us (our adult power). What we need is something completely different.

    Primate brains. It all feeds back into itself as this destructive cycle.

    Primate brains with the capability for higher, rational thought, but only when adequately trained.

  • I see it like we as a civilization are in the teenager stage of development: with the powers of an adult (including the ability to greatly harm ourselves and others), but still with the maturity and self control of a child. We technically know how to be a responsible adult (civilization), but we can't help partying, fighting and drunk driving etc. We need to grow up fast.

  • Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die

  • And Caprica, and Limitless (the tv show, not the movie). Probably others. (Even a Babylon 5 episode was related, but more fantasy than sci-fi.)

  • Ditto!

  • Fun and Interesting ads are actually the worst ones, because they get you to associate pleasant feelings with their product/service/brand, which dilutes your ability to make rational, objective choices about them. That's one of the ways that they are manipulating you.

  • Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy

  • Forums can and do go down or get deleted, there’s nothing inherent to it that makes it stay any longer then discord messages.

    You're comparing apples to vegetables here. Sure, forums can go down, but not all of them do. Take Reddit, it's been around a long time and many people use it for troubleshooting. As for discoverability, a lot of the time when I do a web search for a problem, it points to one or more discussions on Reddit. And that's just one example.

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

  • I just signed up yesterday, and yeah, it took almost a day to get my verification, but it worked. And the rest seems to work fine.

  • I just signed up yesterday, and yeah, it took almost a day to get my verification, but it worked. I haven't seen any extremism yet, but I'm still new. I'll look into the development thing.

  • It's not easier, just faster, and that's only if someone who can answer your question happens to be on at the same time you are. Asynchronous communication does not require that, and has the added bonus of keeping the solution easily available for others to find by themselves rather than taking up someone's time. So it is far more efficient. If you can't find the answer to your problem after trying and genuinely need a solution right away, that is what live support is for.

    And I think that a big part of why so many have moved their support to discord is the long standing (and annoying) habit of people trying to use only one tool for everything. Sure, you can use a hammer on a screw, but it's not a good idea.

  • I signed up yesterday and just got my verification a little while ago. I hear that they're being swamped right now. I wonder why? 🤔

  • I was not upset, I was just trying to clarify my position, and get clarity on yours. Normal discussion stuff. I understand if you don't have the energy/interest to continue though, since I still don't understand your position nor do you understand mine.

  • Ultimately yes, but I know that this isn't always possible. I've left reddit completely for here (and yes, there is a lot of fun content that I really miss), but occasionally if I am looking for information and my search turns up little except for a link to reddit, then I'll go look. You have to judge for yourself how much you can "invest", just don't do it because it's less fun or whatever. And while reading is less of a problem than contributing, the more of that you do there, the less of it you are likely doing here, which diminishes the investment in this platform.

  • Think of it like an investment. Right now a person goes to reddit/fb/twitter/etc. because they get a quick payoff. By switching to fedi, you get less of a payoff now, but by helping to build it you get an even bigger payoff later. Anything worth doing involves some kind of "payment" or sacrifice this way. And like other investments, the more you put into it now (with content and getting others to switch), the sooner and bigger will be your payoff.

    But as a bonus, there are immediate benefits to using fedi, so you get to enjoy those right away while you wait.
