  • Also, your response to someone concerned about CSAM being posted was to say ‘I’m sick of people using “think of the kids” to justify strong moderation’ (paraphrasing)

    What’s interesting is the part you paraphrased out, is that they think “nearly no one does that”. This is one of those arguments people make when they don’t realize how much has been done for them. They clearly don’t think it’s an issue because they’ve been protected from it by the moderation they’re removed about. Maybe around a month ago, several official matrix.org channels had members spammed with CSAM. Not to get graphic but literal babies. It hit my account and i only was part of 3 hosting related channels. This simply does not happen on something like messenger (from Facebook) due to their “censorship”. It happened here on Lemmy and people made tools to prevent it which they’re also removed about

    …auto filtering of messages…

    It’s just a reality that there are awful people out there and even one person can send this stuff out to thousands of people with minimal effort unless there’s proper tools and moderation. These admins aren’t getting burned out just from arguing with people, they’re arguing with people who they’re protecting from seeing vile shit that the admin has to see. Nearly nobody actually wants a fully unmoderated Lemmy instance. Places like Lemm.ee and seemingly lemmy.zip find that balance.


  • Even if people believe that (and I know they do 🙄) that then gives you a niche for a private business to fill. City store always busy? This private store is more expensive but you don’t have to wait in line as long. People will pay that difference to save time, especially in NYC.






  • Am I doing it wrong or is this it for a while until he can stay awake while changed and fed? Is it normal? I feel like I’m just drugging a child to sleep.

    This is it. The entire goal is to keep this kid alive while he eats and grows. All the pressure to make sure the kids not a dipshit is irrelevant at this stage. He doesn’t understand that he has hands yet, let alone doing math.

    As for the bottle feeding, it seems to be fine. Apparently only about 8% of infants in the US ONLY feed directly from the breast. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8476436/) But I only searched for it in kagi with the academic filter and spent at most 5 minutes reading, so don’t trust me there.




  • They probably think they are getting the truth so they don’t think they need to look any further into it.

    I have seen enough that I know I don’t like and I don’t agree in general with JD Vance, for instance, so I’m not going out to find redeeming qualities about him. I’m also not really watching things from him or trump for that matter. But, my brother who ended up going the opposite way of me politically, said the other day that Vance is “down to earth” and will likely go for president after trump. I see clips all the time of him speaking that show me he’s not down to earth, but I’m also not seeing clips of him tailored to show me that it is true.

    I can imagine that if you’re only being fed the positive narratives of your side and only negative things about the “other” side you’re likely to think you already know what’s going on. We also know that both media and the almighty algorithms (like YouTube) will send you down these rabbit holes in the interest of views. If i don’t search, most of what I get about Vance from algorithm based social media are the memes with his distorted face. If that’s all you see, you’re probably coming away with the impression that this guy is a joke. So if you tell me he’s competent and down to earth, my initial reaction is that’s nonsense. Is he? Maybe. It’s not what I see and I’ve felt no need to look for it.

    I have always been a nerd on the internet, so i have always been on these kinds of sites like Lemmy, reddit, imgur, old forums, where I can talk to people from all over the world. They have their echo chambers and little bubbles but it’s still a more diverse group of opinions than what you’re fed on sites like Facebook. But the usage on these sites is much lower, most people are not here. They’re either not using social media at all, or they’re on Facebook, tiktok, whatever. They’re only seeing the cropped images, edited clips, news that caters to what they want to believe. If everything’s telling you one thing, including things your friends and family are sharing online, why would you question it.



  • In your example, if bluesky goes you lose it all (until/if their form of federation actually exists and is usable). If the Mastodon server I’m on (toot.community, because I like the name) goes, you move to another or host your own and keep on trucking.

    When reddit did their API shit i left and lost the account, subreddits, apps, everything. When Lemm.ee announced it’s shutdown i moved to lemmy.zip and picked up exactly where I left off.






  • If i thought enough people would buy my shit I’d be on there too (I’m a guy). You mean to tell me i could potentially become rich by taking naked pictures and videos? It’s pretty saturated now, but even then most of them are making good money, and they’re not even dealing with it, they’re paying other people to handle the page and messages and whatnot.

    The other option? Going to school, learning a skill, applying for a job, and maybe making enough to get by.

    Edit: wait a minute this is just a bot account spamming questions.
