I’ve witnessed so much of it at this point that I’ve come to accept it.

It still hurts to watch though. Nothing you do will convince them until they hurt just like the rest of us. Even if you tell them that it will hurt them eventually, even if you beg and plead for their own safety, until they feel that pain they won’t care.

Yeah, agree with this. We’ve already seen a handful of scam-MMOs.

Not trying to accuse them, but I do think it’s a valid point to bring up, and it’s valid to ask them for more information and for them to show off more of what they’ve prepared.

Those people might be unhappy, but most of them will still refuse to move from the platform.

I scrolled down the comments curious about what other third party apps there were and I was really surprised.

The only app I was aware of was Revanced, and I’m not sure if the other apps are new and popping up because YouTube keeps giving more attention to them or if I was just unaware.

The comparison answers your question actually.

Comfort. There’s a certain amount of comfort when you’re within an abusive relationship. Yes, it’s awful, yes you’re being hurt over and over again, but you’re familiar with it. You know what to expect, where as taking the leap and leaving for the unknown can be scary.

I seriously doubt these fridges need to have any of that firmware added.

I figured this would have happened sooner for every industry.

People resent AI in every way imaginable. I would not even be shocked to find companies who do use AI to be lying about it like this because it is such good advertisement.

So apparently we’re using up all our resources in order to create something that might kill us all.

Sounds like a fantastic idea.

I’m going to go cry now.

As someone that’s been stalked twice before the flock cameras are terrifying. I’ve always been taught to keep my head down and avoid attracting attention but it just seems inevitable these days that someone is going to do this.

If that’s what it takes to get regulation for them I suppose.

Yeah it’s difficult convincing people due to sunken cost.

You could be chatting on a better platform that offers everything discord offers for free but you’d have to convince your friends and the servers you frequent to all move.

It’s not about the platform itself as much as it’s about the communities that are all already there.

Even the one person I know who is terrified of losing her account and preemptively set up alternatives on other platforms still won’t leave until something forces her.

It’ll be both good and bad if it happens.

While it’ll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.
