I’d imagine you’re rather unique. I have a hard time imagining atheists believing in something as nebulous as a soul.
EDIT: Please don’t downvote OP, if anything this is a more interesting discussion thread than just “No, we’re just meat and electricity”

Yep that’s exactly what I was trying to convey. It does feel like the early internet days when everything was just a bit broken and streamlined UX was not at the forefront of tech. The primary users were the geeks that could figure this stuff out.
I kind of like the lower comment count. It sucks when there are literally no comments, but for me, I’m much more inclined to leave a comment when there aren’t too many already. Plus I found most comments were really low effort jokes. For every well thought out comment, there were a million ‘this’ type comments.
Plus everything is just a bit broken and requires some figuring out. I’m definitely pretty tech savvy, but I’m having a hard time imagining non tech savvy people figuring out how to sign up and access these communities, at least not in the current state of things.
I recently watched a French movie called La Haine which is basically about the same thing this movie was released nearly 30 years ago so things have not changed much it seems.
Pic of the tree so we know what we’re dealing with?
My go to is just screaming
I’m one of the new users and I do have to say the fact that I had to jump through less hoops to sign up with .world was a big reason why I signed up there. When you’re trying something new the less friction the better to acquire new users. I don’t want to write an essay on why I want to get an account. I know we want to minimize bots, but there are other ways to do that than throwing unnecessary road blocks in front of users who are skeptical to join to begin with.
Being in a stroller and the sun being incredibly bright overhead. Must have been around 2 years old.
Really good summary. I think this is exactly why I never really took to Twitter and I never really realized why, but it’s exactly that. I’m more interested in topics than specific people.
The funny thing is on Reddit I was mostly a lurker/content consumer. There was little incentive to actually post because your post or comment was likely to just be drowned out in the absolute torrent of other posts/comments. Here I’m actually able to be heard.
Now let’s see Paul Allen’s instance
Yep it took me a while to figure out too. The android app just lets you click on the comment as well to collapse
Rushing out general purpose AI, what could go wrong
I hadn’t even thought that was a limitation
If they think that their API costs were high imagine how expensive paid moderation is.
Me too, not too crazy busy yet, but basically that Reddit feel from 10 years ago for me when I started using it.
Had this happen today. Was searching for some programming related stuff and top pages are all inaccessible Reddit posts.
Right, why participate if it’s just going to be buried under the mountain of other content.
