Ah so like Latin

No they’re not - when I sleep during the car trip, everyone freaks out!

Imagine being that millionth Russian, only to see confetti and corks popping in your final moment.

Please be aware that being an admin is unfortunately quite a thankless job - if you’re doing your job well, then most people won’t even realize you’re doing anything. OTOH, if you make mistakes, there will likely be many users calling you out in public. The main motivation for joining the admin team would need to be a desire to help build and maintain this instance as a great home for yourself and others.

Being an admin is a job and deserves pay. We don’t have an infinite supply of good people to deal with an infinite supply of AI-generated trolling. That means we need donations in the short term, and to consider paid memberships in the long term.

Ads won’t work at all because we’re all using open source clients and browsers with Ublock. And even if they did, we know where that leads.

Evil suggestion: lock minor features behind pay walls, like profile pictures or bolding their name in comments. There are more people who will pay to look cool than there are people who will inconspicuously donate.

I think there are differences in the interests of both. Can you explain your argument here, without super obscure references?

I disagree. Email is still perfectly usable and helpful because we simply filter out the commercial stuff. The fact that most internet discussion happens in extremely censored places is bad. Luigi Luigi Luigi. I want the rest of the world to change and this is another tool to help towards that end, not merely an escape.

Isn’t this just a bunch of little forums that interoperate nicely?

How is Firefox’s baggage anywhere close to homophobia and a crypto scam

Man, I hope this is the start of suits becoming uncool. They’re like high heels for men; humans deserve mobility.

It makes a difference if you signed up for the only instance early on, and now everyone assumes you’re a tankie.

You’d get an email address from your ISP. Early on you’d just dial the ISP, send/receive email, and then automatically hang up. College freshmen were assigned a school email address.

Eventually, “web mail” became popular because you could log in from any computer, like at the library.

By the time email became unavoidable, everyone had already been assigned at least one email address. It was seen as a major feature of the internet itself.

Can’t they put ads into the responses?

“We’re not running AI on these servers, officer! Just good old-fashioned crypto hashes.”

Sounds like they’ll need a bailout, to preserve the economy.

Isn’t that why it has to be long? Not many people actually rely on OpenAI yet.

My point was stated literally. You’re imagining things.

If it is popular in Russia, what does that say about you?

Crypto is popular enough in Russia that I’m optimistic Putin might lose control of his money supply forever.
