I think deepfake porn is a bad call. Not only are you using nudes w/o the people’s permission to train the a.i. but you’re generating graphic content of people who don’t want themselves exposed like that

I would like to see darknetmarkets make a comeback. There really isn’t a way to find any darknet sites without being told about it. shoplifting would be a good one too esp since that subreddit always discouraged people from stealing from small businesses/encouraged ethical stealing which I appreciate.

I also think subreddits centered around conspiracies like pizzagate should make a comeback even though that doesn’t interest me personally.

I’m flippant on cringeanarchy. Before it was taken over by trolls, racists, etc, it was actually interesting. I’d like to see something similar but I worry it invites the same fate

this is genuinely mind boggling. So he plans on eventualy making twitter pay to play!?

This might be my issue too ^^; though I’d love to find new people to connect to over there

Very good point

This is actually really helpful, thanks!

hahah you’re good. I might have to try pixelfed! and hosting a wordpress site would be cool but I really wanna interact with people, get mutuals, that sorta thing. I feel like I’m constantly interacting with people on lemmy and I’m lucky if someone even likes my comment on mastodon lmao

I’m honestly torn. Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that. I also find it very interesting that they tore into the rough around the edges federating of mastodon without mentioning how smooth it is on lemmy, kbin, etc. Though to be honest I tried mastodon and it did feel kinda dead

Literally been thinking about this so thank you beautiful brained individual. Would you mind if I shouted this in the YSK group?
