Oh COME ON. This guy is actively mocking Taiwan now, too??

Damn it, Muskrat

Soup, salad, or sandwich. In that order.

They have no concept of “human” or “mother”

Actually, they do. Maybe not in the words we use for it, but a cat can recognize their mother and can determine humans apart from other species. It may not be an complex psychological process of ranking them, but they recognize.

I don’t think they question it. Just like if you feed a stray cat, they will often continue to come back

“Human gives food. I stay with human.”

It was this evolutionary trait that allowed us to domesticate animals in the first place. I don’t know if they have the complex psychological capacity to question or doubt it to that level. It’s a trust bond, not a superiority one.

Rather than jump to “trauma” here (and believe me, I say this as a person with PTSD), could you elaborate on what you mean by “fear”?

Leaving reddit made me literally touch grass. Guys I went to the park today!

They like having no competition, by being friendly at first, then crushing us when we let them access our userbase. Defederate, with no second thoughts. If the Meta users want to experience the fediverse, nothing is stopping them from making a Lemmy account on any instance.

The content is facebook-oriented content. Idk if it would even really be the kind of audience that most of the fediverse would be able to sustain.

As it is, reddit was a concern for many people. Facebook? Not a chance.

Besides, large scale defederation discourages Meta from trying to weasel their way into everything like that. Don’t encourage them. They want you excited, but overlooking the massive issues.

Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

Well, that transcribing thing is volunteers, and I brought it with me haha

And thanks!

Haha, back on reddit I got to about 90k, and a good portion of that was transcribing.

I’m actually kind of glad it doesn’t show it here. I get to be judged by the content of my post, not by my accumulation of upvote points.

Lmao wait you’re right

I’m a bit confused what you mean by this
