There are a few community archetypes that will always gradually, but inevitably, cease to offer anything of substance without a strong understanding of moderation. Unpopular opinions, communities built around making fun of [topic], any communities that can be used for creative writing, etc… This community is a step further than most in that its subject matter is actively antagonistic in addition to being a potential space for creative writing. It’s doomed to fail without bizarrely dedicated mods or a queue of posts pending approval.

But… but musk said that starlink isn’t meant to be used for WAR! He surely wouldn’t lie in order to attempt to spin his intent to prolong the war and sell to the other side through an intermediary!!!

The Kbin dev.

Bethesda is notoriously terrible at physics and this could be a cutscene of theirs.

If they exclusively targeted larger companies, they’d be fine with me. Generally, the way they operate is to first strike smaller, more vulnerable companies to build their case before suing a larger one. Patent reform can’t come soon enough.

“Major Xbox,” oh, are they updating the Xbox? Maybe buying another company? “…influencers,” and you lost my interest.

I always like to offer polite compliments when I find an enviable trait.

Wait, what’s this about lending??

Imagine bestowing your hat upon your progeny after stowing it away for 300+ million years. That’s devotion.

Really surprised you haven’t had more bites. Lemmy’s pretty terrible at recognizing trolls. Or maybe it’s just political trolls?

Option c seems far and away the best. The reason I browse certain communities over others comes down to admin moderation. Certain instances have stricter admin control and seek to influence political dialogue one way or another. I just don’t want to get banned again for posting the word “tankie” when it’s entirely relevant to the discussion at hand.

Not sure if you’re aware of what happened to .world for a few months. If you decide to ascribe any political philosophy or moderation ethics to sublinks, it may be worth checking out the attack vectors used over there. Optimizing sql lookups extendedly occupied the .world admins so you’re already a bit ahead of the curve there.

You advertise to your audience. Ads targeting the perverse and the stupid seem perfectly suited to twitter.

As always, it’s hard to determine what is AI and what is a filter. The guy whose entire face was edited to be flat and tilted 10 degrees toward the camera got me. That said, 8/10. The first two clued me into what the author was going for and I got the rest right.

The words of one to be cowed by their malignantly depressed, cherubic god.

24 seems a decent time. Returning to the brain plasticity of a 4 year old with all of the memories and knowledge of a 24 year old would produce a horrific intellect and potential. Society would leap forward in any task you decide to advance. The indescribable isolation may well be the only issue, but piles of money heal many forms of hurt. See: Magic Johnson

Could be internal damage. At least, that was the case with my old phone.

That’s funny, I’m the reverse- Searx is my final solution. I don’t like costing the lovely people hosting it any more than I have to so I start with the duck. If ddg offers nothing, searx always has it.

As an aside, are you aware that startpage was purchased some time ago? It’s owned by an ad company now.

Searx. That it doesn’t ignore operators legitimately arouses me slightly.
