internet does remembers

@TwirlyTaco@aus.social Good question.

Yes, I believe that the real world is too much tied to the use of internet for everything. Earlier in the millenia, you wouldn't use the web as much as today. A few dozens websites and you were "done with the internet for today". Now, it's almost the norm to see people being online for more than 3 hours a day.

The abundance of content and the consequent rush for fame on social media enhanced the doom scrolling phenomenon. Social media, getting money from selling advertisments, are becoming giant and normalized among youth. And the cycle continues.

Also, with social media, people started putting their life online, until it became the norm. Anonymity became less accepted, until it was portrayed as an "incel thing" and confined to the edges of the web. (Although, i think meeting new people from all horizons online is more beneficial to one's culture than chatting with you friends living 5km away.)

Yeah, I think the proper way to use internet is to use it with a goal in mind. "Why do I want to get online today? Do I want to learn new things, meet new people, have a fruitful debate with someone, or am I simply doing it because I'm bored and wants to entertain myself?"

It should just be a tool. A tool with endless potential, to use responsibly.

Ah, neocities, had a site there for some time, it's very good. It truely revives the feeling of "surfing on the web" that geocities gave with thoses 88x31 buttons, thoses flashy gifs and thoses bright colors everywhere.

It was at around 600000 websites not long ago and got beyond 1 million recently, seems like it's blowing up in popularity (I hope for the better).

With the evergrowing flow of users, normality became the expectation. The internet bar club disappeard to become real life 2.0, and in real life, you are supposed to use money, and inner jokes don't work. We went from "you shouldn't post personal information to the internet" to "If you don't put your real life profile on the internet, you are a weirdo who tries to escape real life". The new world has been claimed by the old.

Though, in an easier way than in real life, you can become a cyberhermit. Leave social media, and even though there are a lot less people out of here, if you find active forums or chatrooms, you'll find some everlasting internet culture.

It was never really gone, just got hidden by money and large scale hypersocializers.

Pleroma is a fediverse service where there are way less people than here, but it is more "childish" (make me think of very early 2ch-4chan). You have also misskey, though they mostly speak japanese there. For anon culture, you have still IRC, and some little open chatrooms through the fediweb. Though it's hard to find similar places to early 4ch that aren't nazi paradises.

Good luck out there!

Oh suggested thoses as a joke, thank you!

Oh, thank you for the info, but when i said that I am uncomfortable with that pronoun, i said it in the sense "I'm not used to this pronoun and don't know how to use it properly".

If I understood well, it can be used like he-his, she-her, they-theirs? I gotta use gender neutral pronouns more often. Sounds better than "it-its"

Oh, my bad, thank you sir

Yeah, i feel the same, for a lot of reasons i've noticed around here

• a lot of niche subs usually were created turing the apicalipse 3 years ago, but were quickly deserted, so anyone curious about thoses interests right now on lemmy would just find old communities where no one has spoken for years, and get back to reddit out of boredom.

• the few staying for the mainstream communities where there is still some activity are continuously hit by the same topics (lemmy is small and divided enough nowadays to act like echochambers unfortunately) and either participate, or feel excluded and leave.

• Echochambers, stereotypes, and hatred contribute to make lemmy more small and divided.

The cycle continue, and that's how you kill a defederated service. Honestly, i see more people arguing about communities or users from lemmy itself than people simply debating or talking about things from their interests. That makes me a bit sad.

Assuming maybe wrongfully that they are a man, (i'm uncomfortable with the use of they/them to designate a singular person, english isn't my first language), yeah, I'm seriously impressed by his patience and kindness.

I felt so ashamed to give small answers to him that one time he corrected me with a very understandable and precise paragraph, that I actually became motivated to read a bit of theory.

That's what i call a good influencer.

Is the riemann hypothesis actually true?
