If your business can’t afford to pay your employees enough to feed, clothe and house themselves with a full-time position, then your business isn’t viable. Period.

This exactly. I have never understood how the managers or supervisors who ever is in charge of their pay to make it to where they can’t even afford to live on their own. The audacity of some of these employers. I was looking for a new job and they low balled me tremendously. I looked at them like, how in the hell am I suppose to live off that pay? You know McDonald’s pays much more. Even to McDonald’s pay, it’s still considerably very low but to have a job labeled as a decent occupation with some form of a college degree or experience, and then pay you as low or the same as McDonalds is wild to me. Then you have them complain “We can’t find anyone.” “Why does no one wanna work?” Shit Steve, maybe pay the workers/employees to where they can afford one bedroom apartment and get eggs for starters. It’s absolutely insane with these individuals who are looking to hire and the lack of common sense. Pay people a living wage maybe, and see what happens.

The movie Her. It’s really close and accurate to ChatGPT, but worse.

Happy Birthday Brya! I hope you get everything you ever wanted you little fluff of cuteness!

Reddit is gonna go wild on this one as well as TikTok.

Yup, I wanna be an author or a journalist as well.

Love you too bro.

Anyways I think the real test is whether people can handle a small forum with strict moderation and focused discussion. That will reveal who has half a brain apart from the fuckwads. I’ve seen people come to what are now basically private forums acting like a garden variety social media user only to get smacked down real quick. A sobering dose of reality for them.

I see what you mean. It will be interesting to see who is a brain dead NPC influenced by social media in the mass monopolization sector of it. Who is really into the niche topics and genre of commentary in the essence of forums. I will always hold out in hope when it comes to social media that is built by the people for the people. But you are exactly correct in being a test.

I honestly don’t think Internet forum will ever loose itself. You will always always have small amount of people who will migrate to smaller forums for whatever topic or subject that they are interested in. Yes it might seem like discord and Reddit might appear to be the major forums of today’s modern age of communication under the title of forums.

People will always migrate and do whatever means to obtain freedom of speech. If Reddit and discord, well Reddit that I actually know of continue to perm ban or ban because of a word that our overlords aka moderators ban, because they are drunk with power and micromanage their sub Reddit then it’ll die. It will take time but forums like Lemmy and IRC (I know this ages me.) which still exist today, will never die. People just are not aware that other forums exist. They just have to do a little research or stumble upon it by accident which is how I found Lemmy. I was familiar with the term fediverse, but just never really looked into it.

So there’s hope. Humans are peculiar and interesting. We are highly intelligent, and I will always lean on the fact that we are tenacious and we never lack in ingenuity. They can never control our creativity and imagination. If something tries to monopolizes and put us in a box, there’s always a rebel creating a door for some of us to escape.

You are not the only one. I don’t know if this will help you but try https://www.facebook.com/deactivate. I also searched on YouTube and it helped to navigate through a long intensive map out of where to click. I hope this helps you out.

No… you are doing an amazing job. Like that’s wild and absolutely phenomenal!

We could call it Satan’s hell payment if that fits better or parasitical payment…

Don’t worry, they’ll be on the chopping block. But the good thing is the group is everywhere. They are on Substack, as well as here on this app. But they are a very small group, and they are aware that they’ll be next so they posted on Reddit to everyone that they exist on Lemmy which is how I got introduced to this app.

Oh my gosh, this planet is the bad place. Are we in hell and did we all die in Dec 21 2012?

Awe okay that’s interesting. Thank you for the list.

Is Sync only for android? I only see voyager as the only app for iOS/iPhone users. And if I was to switch to android is it only through apk or are there multiple applications that you can use for Lemme on google play store?

Awe thank your LordCrom much appreciated. I am still learning and seeing how to maneuver through this app. Trying to whisper to a couple of my friends that there’s an app better than Reddit, and to join us.

I have the voyager on iOS, which I assume is the only provider for this Lemmy. When this phone dies out I will be switching to android and I’ll just have to shop around. So far I am very very impressed with the UI and the application itself.

Subscription payment on eggs is wild! lol

This is absolutely amazing!! I love it.

I am new here, and I actually like everything about it. It’s very simplified. But the fact that it’s decentralized is the key reason to why I moved here.
