Boomers?

Let me filter the bots, trolls, and creeps myself. I don’t need a rent-seeking middleman for that.

(My wife’s pickup line was trolling the shower curtains in my photo)

How does any of this impact the likelihood of loving their kids?

I’ve been married for a long time too and we met on the greatest dating website of all time: Craigslist Personals.

You entered your gender, age, a written segment, and an optional photo. No algorithm, no matching. Everything written was searchable and published via RSS. All communication went through email. No app, no subscription, and the only ads were sex workers.

In the context of this article, it forced the user to engage by reading people’s blurbs instead of just swiping for brain chemicals like Candy Crush. You felt like you were talking the other humans and the website was just where you went to meet them.

If such a site were recreated today, users would want to run the RSS feed through a slop rejection filter.

Pedophiles rapists

That’s pre-bailouts talk

This will work a lot better once everyone is on FOSS platforms and network effects are less of a problem.

Yes, actually.

But how would they know if someone just did the same stuff but was lying

Yeah I’m suggesting they say that if needed, but lie convincingly.

Oh, I wasn’t lying.

I mean, good? I’d love it if Americans tolerated poor governance as much as the French do.

Hey it was worth a shot. I’d ignore that advice because the next cop will brand you a sex offender for it.

I’ve had luck with “I really really need to go to the bathroom!”

And if/when you’re sick of it, you can block it all by server, as opposed to centralized social media where you have to block every nazi sock puppet in the universe individually.

Won’t you please think of the decorum?

The sea!

They don’t catch the smart ones!

Things have improved! Once I was rejected because I answered truthfully about whether I’d always vote for the law as written.
