  • So many ways:

    • frequent outages
    • spaces drop out frequently
    • blue membership gives credibility to fraudsters
    • I haven’t been able to reply on mobile for the last 2 weeks
    • blue features just stopped working a few weeks ago and nothings happened (dark mode, custom icons)
    • analytics are inaccurate and have large gaps
    • it’s awash with bots
    • algo works against ux
  • Oof, felt this right in the geriatric millennials.

    Mfer I was doing assignments where I had to scroll through index cards to find the encyclopaedia, then hand write out the essay.

    It’s weird when you go from being the disruptor demographic to realising that when your 5 yo kid jokes about the 80s it’s as far away in time to him as the 1940s we’re to me - for him it’s a 2d, pre-Alexa, analog dystopia.

    And I’m only 42.

  • Welcome to life after 40 - I’ve been an early adopter all my life, but my network hasn’t moved with me.

    As a result joining Snapchat has no value for me.

    So I tend to use apps that are friend-agnostic like this and TIkTok.

    Side note: my fave messaging app is Confide, it only reveals redacted words as you run your finger over them, and then deletes. So it’s impossible to screenshot.

  • Me too. Has more of a small town feel. Usually, because I’m in Australia, my comments are buried and never get replied to because the US is sleeping. Here, people are actually engaging. Loving it so far.

    Wish the sorting worked a little better in wefwef so I’m not scrolling past the same posts each time, but otherwise feels like the reddit I joined 16 years ago (or slightly thereafter when comments were added)

  • I remember watching a clip from “The Network” where Jeff Daniel’s is interviewing an expert on climate change. It was when it was too late - and the expert lore or less said so.

    It struck me as prescient - that despite all the warnings we’d be shocked when it came and it was irreversible.

    Tbh it came sooner than I expected.

    Can AI use WiFi to visualise people in a room?
