I don’t know if the Internet has made folks dumber per se. What we may be experiencing is the visibility of semi anonymous unfiltered thought. I’ve had conversations with individuals online who have made claims that are egregiously incorrect and will defend those claims to the death but when discussed in person, they are amenable to discourse and can change their opinions.

I’m not saying this is true for all cases but I think the is a lot more going on here in our digital age.

Edit: removed an embarrassing typo.

There’s no year listed. Just a month and a day.

We never referred to them as bell bottoms but by their brand name; Jncos. And they were rather popular for a subsect of teenage/young adult culture in the late 90s/early 2000s.

I’ve been using Liftoff on Android. It’s way better than mobile browsing but no where near the same level as Sync. Biggest pain points are searching and subscribing to new instances as well as an insane amount of cache builds up and never clears on its own.

Currently I can’t load my subscribed instances but I think that’s a temporary bug…

I am eagerly and patiently awaiting Sync for Lemmy release.

I ended up buying the Killswitch case from Dbrand. It’s sturdy, the lip of the case rises up to cover the screen edges and it has a hard face cover while traveling. I normally leave it with its kickstand on various locations to charge for when I need it. It was an added weight but I don’t notice it anymore, and I enjoy the textured feel of the case.

I suspect the comment where you were banned was the proverbial “straw that broke the camels back.” I took a look at the rest of the thread where there could be the impression of you attacking people. It’s not as extreme as the specific comment they chose but it’s there. Perhaps the mods banned you for 3 days for a combination of your posts in that thread. That would make sense instead of commenting on each individually (which would be time consuming).

Have you tried to message the mods directly for clarity before posting here?

reading through the comment and nodding along peacefully… Then we get to the pizza comment

Starting off the day with a Grizzly pun I see. I generally prefer Black humor, so apologies if my response appears Polar.

I’m just going to steal the response I read years ago.

“I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers.”
