I want an unmoderated space. Or rather, I want the tools of moderation to be in the hands of the users instead of a central authority. Giving an anonymous rando the power to censor my conversation is abhorrent. And it's absurd that mos

"Dictatorship" is the standard forum design. Reddit, HN, X, Lemmy... All of them. And censorship is common. We literally prefer it that way. I think it's to create a solid blame trail. I think that's a necessary thing.

I was at LOWES the other day with a used can of paint that I brought for color matching. obviously used. beat up and stained. at the checkout the computer halted the checkout process said "did you forget something in your cart?" y

in art you don't know what you're making. you are creating, you aren't just moving towards a goal. that's the power of it and that's why it feels so good. now an llm might assist in that, but you got to be there wit

I'm listening to OK Computer right now. Came upon this reply half way through "Let Down". Hmm. In my own procedural explorations, the solution to the 10,000 bowls of oatmeal problem is to manually curate them and give the use
