In my opinion, it’s okay. It’s pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are… not pleasant.

I’m no expert but I think there are (or should be) exemptions in the case of crime

A better comment would have been like “this reminds me of Technology Connections’ Alec Watson, he talks a lot about how much he hates blue LEDs. Here’s a video [link]”

It makes the same reference, but provides more context, more content, and a new point of discussion.

This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.

I didn’t find it very hard to change how I downvoted comments. Of course what counts as contributing to a conversation is subjective, but I don’t think that should stop people from using it to decide whether to upvote or downvote. I downvote low effort comments, inflammatory comments, rude comments, and comments that spiral into tangents about unrelated topics. I upvote comments using my own judgement to encourage healthy discussions where people contribute differing ideas. I may not agree with every comment I upvote.

Die? What is it with assuming that small instances will inevitably die? There are people out there who want small instances, they will keep them alive.

People are humanizing computer programs way too much, and thus, we have arguments like this. An AI language model is not one of those sci-fi AIs that live in spaceships and talk to the crew. AI language models do not have individuality, creativity, consciousness, or free will. They are computer programs doing math to turn inputs into outputs.

That second tweet is a bit concerning, though. Let’s not forget that many ADHD meds are addicting to non-ADHD brains.

I’m sorry that you have such dark thoughts and negative feelings because of this :( there’s a very loud, very vocal minority of women who believe men are inherently evil (and there’s a large overlap with terfism too). But that’s just the thing, they’re a minority. Obviously much of what they say is based on truth- that’s how they persuade others to think like them- but it’s not worth listening to them because their intentions aren’t in the right place. You’re absolutely right that communities like that are bad for one’s mental health, too!

Wishing you well, stranger.

Isn’t the whole point of the fediverse to have different instances with different rules and cultures, and them all having the freedom to associate with (or to not associate with) whichever other instances they choose? Boohoo, an instance is using their freedoms in a way you aren’t! Don’t get so upset over what Beehaw chooses to do. People who agree with Beehaw will hang out there more and people who don’t will move elsewhere. This is the natural way of things, isn’t it?
