I think deepfake porn is a bad call. Not only are you using nudes w/o the people’s permission to train the a.i. but you’re generating graphic content of people who don’t want themselves exposed like that

I would like to see darknetmarkets make a comeback. There really isn’t a way to find any darknet sites without being told about it. shoplifting would be a good one too esp since that subreddit always discouraged people from stealing from small businesses/encouraged ethical stealing which I appreciate.

I also think subreddits centered around conspiracies like pizzagate should make a comeback even though that doesn’t interest me personally.

I’m flippant on cringeanarchy. Before it was taken over by trolls, racists, etc, it was actually interesting. I’d like to see something similar but I worry it invites the same fate

I’m honestly torn. Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that. I also find it very interesting that they tore into the rough around the edges federating of mastodon without mentioning how smooth it is on lemmy, kbin, etc. Though to be honest I tried mastodon and it did feel kinda dead

Literally been thinking about this so thank you beautiful brained individual. Would you mind if I shouted this in the YSK group?

Damn this is really well put

The new niche community is shitting on reddit

I spent the younger half of my life with very long, thick hair (I keep it short now). There’s no avoiding that awkward phase, you just have to stick it out. Keep your scalp stimulated, make sure your hair isn’t dry or splitting, and other than that you can try tight braids? Wish this was more helpful ^^; liking your appearance is important - but your appearance is subjective. I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t worry so much about your hair looking awkward. I’ve gone bald before and then had to prompt people into noticing so

Honestly I don’t use third party apps and Lemmy is just better. Something about forums (in my experience) makes people actually try to be nice to each other. I’ve said this a few times but if/when we ever get private chats on here I don’t know why I’d even use Twitter that much
