idly, replying from offsite? I see you use ^ but that makes subscript on lemmy instead of strikethrough
or I guess it's a style choice I'm not familiar with :D
they deduced the entirety of posting from seeing 3 comments
it's a two-rounder (check the youtube link in a priv)
this isn't primary school and I'm not your favourite teacher, I'm not required to coddle your knowledge
but, you know, it's funny? it's weird, I did know what it meant! shocking, I know. but I did. that's how, y'know, my reply had the shape it did. absolutely wild. people can know things! who knew?!
it's .... not endemic, in the sense of "you'll hit it every 3 profiles" (because fet community + platform seems to do a reasonably good job of handling it from reports etc), but you can see why it's the type of thing that creeps and predators go for
igwym re exploration. comfort, safety, trust, consent - all key. never do anything you don't want to :)
was one of the things I thought of too but fet (and also dating/meeting apps) has a longstanding problem of people catfishing. on balance, suspect this form is the more likely case
I autocorrected it to transit in my head (because that's the term of art and unfortunately I am cursed with that tier of networking exposure) but it also threw me for a moment
and then I groaned because, as you remarked, it's also true in the respect of these dipshits trying to take cars and buses and trains
it's hardly news that VCs and shit spend influence and capital to shape perception and manufacture consent. it's so not-news it was even literally mentioned in the very article this thread is about
that sound you didn't hear was the reference going entirely over your head
valuable datapoint (in the scope of llms being used for scams and shit) but perhaps not quite the right post to reply to about that, tbh
I can hear the eagle's cry all the way over here
so proud
