Omg what happened? There were some months I wasn’t on the Fediverse but I thought the European presence here was strong?

Why did they eschew tactile controls over something that competes with the driver’s vision?

I don’t know why one must know someone completely to talk to them, but I like teas in general, not just Ceylon teas.

I mean I live in a country whose political environment was irrevocably changed because of Cambridge Analytica. And facebook’s algorithm is partly being blamed for the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. It’s not really about you that I’m worried with, but for others in general.

What’s the worst that could happen?

Some data brokers looking through your preferences and building a profile out of you, I guess.

I’ll miss the Arthurian and Latin subreddits in particular. Not sure if they’ll ever be here, and I am often busy with school so not sure if I can do moderation. Plus I’m not the most knowledgeable in those subjects.

Dozen thousands?

Waving from PieFed!

The answer is cowardice.

And what’s wrong with sharing my experience? I wish I never met him and that I’ll never meet him forevermore. What a waste of time and I wish I never gave him my trust, I wish I wasn’t ever vulnerable with someone I thought was a friend if he was going to use it against me. I wish by some manner of sorcery that he will truly never ever recall me or the personal things I told him about.

Coward he also is. He also tried to ask me out on what obviously is a date but tried to make it seem like it wasn’t. I would never want to be in a romantic relationship with deceptive and dishonourable people. It made me wonder why I allow myself to be friends with them in the first place.

There was an ex-friend whom would always follow me around, and before a quiz I had been studying for days by doing programming exercises, while he played on his phone or scrolled TikTok.

He tried confessing after bragging how he didn’t get caught cheating using AI on the test (as many were), right after I used like 100% of my brainpower to do what I could on that test. I could only reject him and was not able to give my full reasoning as to why I couldn’t enter into a relationship as I had to enter a bus because we were at the bus stop.

Some weeks later he started not giving a shit about me, started doing this weird thing where he would wait for me to finish a quiz before passing his own and then he’ll try to walk fast ahead in front of me and not stopping to talk as we did, when it started getting clear I wouldn’t get into a relationship. Unfriended me on facebook and I never saw him after the end of the school.

'twas fucking horrible, when I already told him I had trauma from being suddenly abandoned by my friends. I only wish I never knew him at all, what a waste of time and I never learned anything, only had my trauma reinforced. I have never felt so much hatred and loathing in my life, and I understood why Dante put the sin of being a traitor at the lowest circle of hell.

It mostly affects people who use Reddit to search people discussing stuff. Unfortunately I don’t think the Fediverse is indexed much, plus some niche communities/interests just doesn’t have the critical mass.
