It’s like they say: when you’re making an orange juice you’ve gotta break a few eggs.

Predators? That sounds expensive, complicated, and could negatively affect profits.
Can’t we just spray the trees with massive quantities of something cheap and effective like DDT?
They almost certainly have in house legal teams and those lawyers are salaried.
That saying holds more truth if you’re using the “non-political” definitions of conservative – i.e. moderate, cautious, or resistant to change.
Moreso “set in your ways” as the world changes around you.
Lemmy has a fair number of loud, toxic instances, communities, and users. On the other hand, it’s easy to block all of them, and it’s practically a requirement to enjoy lemmy.
So block with zero hesitation – the only people that will give you crap about it are the people that are the problem in the first place.
old.reddit.com still works … for now. I deleted my account, but there’s still a few writers on reddit I follow.
Not really.
“We don’t have anything definitive and we can only speculate, which we’re not going to do.”
I fucking hate the death of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to reliably tab through fields. Particularly in UIs designed for data entry.
All our patient care reporting software has gone to a touch-screen centric UI … when half the fields still require typing information in.
It’s the Yelp review, duh.
I know I’m late to the party, but my go-to refutation is “Ok, name one school that’s doing that. Go ahead and look it up on your phone.”
Then point out if a single school actually did have litter boxes for the kids the name of the school and everyone involved would be easy to find. It’s not something that could be kept secret: just one person has to say something – a kid talking to their relative, faculty, a parent, etc. Once that happened FOX, OANN, etc would be on that like flies on shit … and they would name and shame.
But they aren’t, because it’s bullshit.
If I worked for animal control and some dipshit school administer asked be to come collect a human child from their school, they would receive the following with the minimum amount of tact needed to keep my job:
I’d like to think most of the people actually employed as animal control officers would respond the same way.
Your comment made me have a flashback to my dad getting irritated at me for squeezing the middle of the toothpaste tube.
You’re only supposed to squeeze the far end of a metal tube – pushing product from the very end to the opening. Then as it gets empty you fold/roll up the flat bit at the end. You can even even buy “wringers” designed to assist with that.
If you’re a millennial, some already are.
The sample for “kids dance party” wasn’t something I ever thought I’d hear again.

Even if there were no bots and it was only “real” content from Threads … is that the sort of content we want to have Lemmy flooded with?

I’m not saying this to encourage complacency – too much is at risk. Everyone needs to go out and vote.
But on the other hand: look at how those polls are conducted. The vast majority are cold calls, and what are the demographics of “people who answer calls from unknown numbers in an era of rampant phone scams” these days?
Thompson submachine guns (Tommy guns) were available by mail order in the 1920s with zero background checks. All you had to do was fill out the order slip, a check or money order, and drop it in the mail.
… which is exactly what the prohibition era gangs did.
Late teens, maybe early 20s.
How close am I?
