Given how many scams have surged in recent years, I kind of agree with that parody statement.

- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 1 week ago:
I could be wrong but I think this change forces everyone to use subscription only, not per X.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 1 week ago:
Not that good, the backlash was immense and if I remember right, people were dropping patreon subs over it.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 1 week ago:
They already caved.
On Wednesday, Patreon said Apple has renewed its requirement that all Patreon creators must move to subscription billing. The deadline to do so is November 1, 2026.
- Comment on Meet Roomy: An Open-Source Discord Alternative for the Decentralized Web 1 week ago:
Not to mention the other two discord clones I can remember off the top of my head. Guilded (Owned by Roblox IIRC?) and
RevoltStoat, which I never hear anyone talk about, especially after their name change. - Comment on Meet Roomy: An Open-Source Discord Alternative for the Decentralized Web 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t aimed for the average user, but unfortunately that means greatly diminished chances of success.

- Comment on LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently formulated on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs. 2 weeks ago:
I remember when Twitter was juuust gaining popularity and someone explained what it was to me. I was really confused. “Why would I post to a platform with a character limit??” Like I couldn’t wrap my head around that self-imposed limitation.
By the time I saw/heard people writing whole essays and breaking them into 20 posts I was just like.. why would you subject yourself to this? Blogs exist, go back to them.

It’s gallows humor being used as a coping mechanism, a pressure relief valve.
- Comment on yeet 2 weeks ago:
I genuinely wonder if it’s something that’s meant to aid our development of things like empathy too. I only mention it because I remember when I was a child having an intrusive thought, while fishing, of splatting a fish against a cinderblock I could see poking out of the water and actually followed through on it. Hit by INSTANT regret and sorrow. It was a very shitty thing I did but since it still sticks with me I think it did teach me something about the value of animal life. So I wonder if that plays a part–getting kids to do stupid things to learn from them.
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 3 weeks ago:
I agree that the puzzle solving is a huge factor in my enjoyment of Linux, and is the same for friends of mine who hopped over. But sometimes I have to remember there are some people who despise puzzles and they are not going to have a good time.
- Comment on really makes you think 3 weeks ago:
Tangent, but I remember when I was a kid I would try to explain people that I could “smell” the “air coonditioned air” and everyone was like “what? No you can’t, it’s just air. It doesn’t smell like anything.”
I never did figure out what the smell was. I’m guessing it was some kind of chemical; it wasn’t a bad smell, though. It smelled like ice cubes (which I know, doesn’t make a lot of sense either.)
Anyway, all this to say that a lot of people have very strong senses. (And the other comments about water not being neutral are correct as well!)

- Comment on Who care about book 4 weeks ago:
I don’t feel like satire that is making fun of important resources is very funny when plenty of people are trying to remove those public resources. Feels like getting mugged at knifepoint and handing them a gun to be ironic.

I’m not sure what people would be trying to access, I suppose. Post history? Things that can be exported, like account settings, generally should be stashed somewhere. Things that can’t be, well… That’s a bit sad but I dunno, I never post anything online that I care so much about I’d be sad if it disappeared. Anything I did care about, I make a backup of it locally.
Not trying to downplay people’s upset, but just pointing out ways to protect the things you care about.
