And that’s why I can’t use Matrix for what I use Discord for. I run several Discord servers including one that I literally used magic to guide My hand in creating the channel layout, and people in the server can feel the magic in the !air. Which is appropriate, because it’s an occult server. Such magic would never be possible on Matrix.

So when people say Matrix works as a Discord replacement, I disagree. Members of My coven have felt a pit of nausea in their stomach when they try to engage with Matrix the same way.

Not even Matrix has figured out text chat that works as well as Discord’s. A Discord server has a sense of place to it. Matrix channels change position based on the most recent message, which damages the ability to create a sense of place.

Social media are new media technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content (such as ideas, interests, and other forms of expression) amongst virtual communities and networks.[1][2]

Wikipedia.

The earliest forms of social media appeared almost as soon as technology could support them. E-mail and chat programs debuted in the early 1970s, but persistent communities did not surface until the creation of the discussion group network USENET in 1979.

Encyclopedia Britannica.

websites and computer programs that allow people to communicate and share information, opinions, pictures, videos, etc. on the internet, especially social networking websites

Cambridge Dictionary.

I got banned for that one

I guess they didn’t want people using that community for sensible purposes

It’s actually a bot embedded in the PieFed server code that automatically reports em-dashes from new accounts. I wish it was easier for us admins to mark users as not AI so that we didn’t all have to check manually every time. Might be worth complaining at !piefed_meta@piefed.social if you don’t like the bot. I’m kinda neutral on the bot but I wanted you to be aware it was flagging you in case some other PieFed admins trust it too much.

Also welcome to Lemmy!

Ironic.

I’m doing My part!

I wrote an article on My blog about this! https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/the-need-for-solidarity-between-leftist-movements-b7b3d4f63b22

Yeah, I was trying to be generous to the capitalists, but the truth is current generation AI can’t meaningfully express consent, so a more accurate term is AI slave.

Unless we’re talking about a machinekin employee.

So 0H is like 35C and 100H is 40C? That kinda sucks.

Humans in different areas are used to and can survive different temperatures. There’s this buddhist guy who goes out in the snow naked and meditates to produce body heat.

But all humans are made of water, and can relate its chemical processes to their comfort and survival.

That’s because you’re using the silly farenheit scale, which was designed for brine. You should use celcius, which is designed for humans.

Yep, that’s Utah alright

I know some girls with huge cocks who would take this sign as a challenge

Social media allowed teams around the world to rapidly coordinate on the invention and distribution of the vaccines. COVID had fewer deaths than the 1918 influenza pandemic despite the massive increase in population since then, in part because of social media.

You think Trump is smart enough to listen when his staff tell him that?

I think social media apps like youtube, email, and zoom have been very useful for society. The pandemic would have killed a lot more people if not for social media.

If Trump decides to launch a nuke at Vancouver, which of your allies are bold enough to send one his way?

I agree with the AI that chrome sucks, but if I were hiring for a Google related job and an AI employee listed Chrome use as a con, I’d fire it. Employees need to consider the context of the job they’re performing.

Damn
