We paid for it in the 90s. Then telecom companies just didn’t provide the service they were paid to

I’m surprised that Altman was relevant enough to comment on when Swartz was still alive

I have mixed feelings on mod logs personally. They’re great when the mods aren’t trustworthy and nothing is controversial. But I think they leave mod teams vulnerable to coordinated attack, which absolutely will happen if lemmy gets big enough. The mod logs played a (small) role in my decision not to take on mod roles or start communities here.

Mod mail on the other hand is a great tool for communication with basically no downsides

Yeah, and I will say it’s definitely better for posting than I expected. I kinda was expecting very little response, and I think that the small community vibes help people feel comfortable replying to OC posts. That said, there are some things it’s missing (notably to me at least is a sapphic oriented nudes space). But ultimately yeah it’s good and improving, and I do recommend people who’ve been considering posting there give it a try.

Wait, there’s no mod mail‽ That’s a really important feature for people trying to mod well

Yeah, people like you are changing it to something more palatable. And I’m seeing increases in different users posting/commenting more often rather than just the power users. Idk if it’s crossed the threshold for increasing usability yet, but I’m hopeful for it for the first time since I was new here that it’s slowly becoming better.

“You seem very interested in your own boobs”

Oh cool, I’m sending that to my programmer wife to let her try if she’s interested when the Samsung TV version is out. I’m an engineer and thus not allowed to mess with the programming of anything shared.

Also the fact that many of us make for great friends

Wow, under half? Better than I expected

Yeah female is just the adjective form of woman. It’s normal to use as an adjective, cringe as a noun

That’s true, my all girl friend group has a tendency to do that. And of course by lezzing out I mean snuggle up with our wives.

Someone who hasn’t realized they’re trans yet

Then there’s me a 30 something woman for whom computers dislike working

Yeah this is a matter of making it fail safe. A refrigerator that isn’t operating at food preservation temperatures (and freezing temperatures in the freezer) is dangerous.

Appliances related to safety such as refrigerators and temperature control need to have a safe position they can fail to when their logic is confused.

All I’m saying is nobody ever got a great ass because they drove a car a lot.
