We need to tally up all the accidents and pedestrian hit-and-runs that occur involving cars with this “feature.” It would likely be enough of an increase you could reasonably make a class action lawsuit. I have no sympathy whatsoever for a car manufacturer that can’t get it through their heads that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents, and could easily happen by their own features.

If it’s anything like Reddit, it would devolve into being mostly creepy adults.

Most of us would post on forums as teens back in the day, so it’s hypocritical to try to keep them from doing it too. The only places we should run them off would be communities we specifically make for adults. They don’t necessarily have to be NSFW. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a community where everyone is old enough that they get the same references and are in similar stages in life.

General music and hobby related communities really shouldn’t be blocked off, though.

Yeah, the mention of AI is pretty ominous. It makes me wonder if AI would be used to fill in the gaps when the user base is too low.

Not just Europeans. I was talking to my roommate about how I deleted my Reddit accounts and fully committed to switching over to Lemmy, and his main concern was which instances were hosted in America so he could avoid them.

Soon you can’t say fired or terminated anymore either because that sounds too violent. It’s “unhiring” now. DOGE doesn’t fire government workers. It just unhires them. /s

Most of the time, if I say “Luigi” I’m actually talking about the character. Mario’s brother. The lil green plumber. Not the real life guy.

I’m not sure what’s gonna happen to discussion about Nintendo games but if first names themselves can be banned from being said (even if they take on a new meaning due to slang) there’s something seriously wrong with the platform.

Excuse me, the terms of service says no strong language. You gotta say frick. Or do what everyone does on highly censored platforms and strt cnsring everth*ng. /s

I would become a vegetarian to avoid this, but then they also keep having listeria on the vegetables.

Wait, people got banned for upvoting that?

Welp. Rip my account
