I know man, and damnit I’m proud of you.

This isn’t even punitive, but just the cost of doing business. Protip, if the fine wouldn’t stop you from making the same business decision again, it’s not really a fine.

Oh that’s what those are!

Thanks for your efforts!

Can’t scroll past an air bnb post without stopping in to say fuck air bnb for its role in the housing crisis. It should be banned unless it’s owner occupied.

I’d be pissed too. Watermelons are all show no go. Truly an f tier fruit.

This. I want more strikes. I’m tired of everything going to shit and the masses sit back and do nothing. I’ve gone to a few protests recently, and honestly it’s cheap therapy for me. Feels nice to actually DO something.

Guys, I’m starting to think the problem is me…

I watched click recently and it definitely did NOT hold up for me. It’s just so over the top dramatic that it waded into cringe for me. Sucks because when I was a teen I thought it was absolutely amazing.

Well I don’t go to Reddit so it works for me. Down vote if you don’t like it.

I’m just here to say fuck air bnb. Ban that shit for it’s contribution to the housing crisis.

Are there any sites in the Fediverse written in .net? I’d like to contribute to these sites, but I haven’t touched PHP in over a decade.

This speaks to how bad Google has gotten IMO - I do it too.

I’m not convinced you need corporate money though. I think grants/user contributions (add the awards concept like Reddit has?) can get you pretty far a la Wikipedia.

I don’t want corporate social media full stop. As soon as there is a profit motive things will always slowly decay.

I just hope it’s viable to survive on grants/donors a la Wikipedia. Add some “awards” like on reddit, and that should help as well.

Well that’s cool as hell - thanks for the info.

I just hope this is the start of an internet renaissance with less corporate control.

Yeah only way I see it working is if it’s more of a peer to peer / torrenting concept. As in while you use it, you are “seeding” other videos / content as well.

Sucks that the UI doesn’t auto-link that for you.

My hope is that things like Chat GPT can now become that source. I can only assume all those historical posts were used as training data.
