Same place on desktop. It’s kinda easy to miss, though, so thanks for the nudge.

R U McSerious? 14? Jeez, I said & did stupider things than that at that age, and never made up for it by doing anything smart later on.

Next time I see the internet canard that fooled me, I will not be fooled again. Grazi.

I wasn’t referring to r/jailbait, nor was I implying he was a pedophile. I was clumsily alluding to comments purportedly written by Swartz, supporting peoples’ right to publish, read, and share kiddie porn.

But you know what? I haven’t read Swatrtz’s comments myself, so I’m not sure exactly what he said, and in a few minutes googling I can’t even find what I’d read about whatever Swartz may or may not have written.

So the line about kiddie porn was me talking out of my ass. Never a good idea. Knowing nothing, nothing is what I should’ve said.

I think he’d say, “Please spell my name right.”

I think he’d want more kiddie porn — he had a definite urge in that direction.

I think Aaron Swartz was a complicated guy who did some good but had some enormous issues to say the least, and the ongoing worship of him as a hero is not a good idea.

Well, exactly. Pretty sure Reddit knows, but how does any user know?

Thanks for 'splaining it. I shall toss no more rocks at Lemmy’s windows.

Maybe some people can read a book and listen to music at the same time, but I’m not smart enough. The music bleeds into the book, and it becomes Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Pink Floyd, which is completely different from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, if you catch what I drop.

My guesstimate is that Reddit — with BotDefense up and running — was at least 20% bots posting articles and then bots having conversations about those bot-posted articles. Without BotDefense? Yikes.

Threads is not involved at all with the Fediverse, but Facebook/Instagram/Threads top schmuck Zuck says he wants Threads intertwined.

Let’s hope he’ll be shown the door and booted. His only goal would be to monetize us.

They make money off the posts. If they suck in federated posts, they can monetize them.

Lots of bot posts, and under them, lots of lively conversations between the bots.

Trump cannot possibly be sentenced to prison. He can and does deserve it, but it’s utterly impossible. Might as well wonder how high could pigs fly if pigs could fly.

Old guy here, wondering what Scandinavian Airlines has to do with any of this. Seriously, what’s SAS?

I would updoot that line of thinking, and award you Lemmy Gold.

Well, yeah. That’s why I’m mostly here instead.

My Redditing is down from hours daily to a few minutes, at a couple of specific subReddits with info and news I haven’t yet been able to find elsewhere.
