  • Wait. But posts on social media with a large number of comments with the same sentiment is SUPER common.

    People comment without reading other comments ALL THE TIME. Just look at comments on youtube and instagram and similar sites that are not forums.

    It’s actually really depressing to see, it makes you realize just how much people are not unique in their thoughts. Just how many people comment stating the obvious, almost like they are typing in metadata for the post. Or just how uncreative people are with jokes.


  • No place is safe from this until we are forced to log into the internet with IDs issued by a global government. And obviously that’s a hideous nightmare of its own. and still not a solution.

    Anonymity online is important to preserve.

    But it’s also the source of so much unchecked bullshit, cheating, exploitation, manipulation, etc etc etc. And now with stronger AI in the mix, it has also made everyone paranoid, only wanting to trust old accounts, calling everything they disagree with a bot, etc.

    In short, the internet was a mistake. A big huge self inflicted, unavoidable, and necessary mistake.
