Good point. Ads weren’t anything like as constant as they are now, everything was less commercial and more authentic. I do miss the format as well, but I’d forgo the format if I could lose the constant problems

I loooooved online debating back in the day you used to really get interesting and diverse conversations, they’d go on for pages and have a range of perspectives. On a good board you’d have well reasoned and well sourced arguments, and really learn a lot. All that’s gone and sadly I don’t see it coming back

Yep I had a proper online friendship group and a real community on message boards. It’s waayyy better on lemmy than Facebook or reddit but still not quite there

Yes, this format is quicker. It’s quick responses to quick topics, and you don’t get the in depth ongoing conversations. Back in the day you used to get really interesting, ongoing debates, I’ve not seen one of those ONCE in this format.

Of course it’s not just Trump and Putins blackmail and/or bribery it’s all the rich people in both countries. It’s a chessboard with a fuckton of pieces.

Do you think Ukraine will take it?

They literally couldn’t be worse than what we’ve got

Well that makes more sense. Damn guard!

Yep they just hang out and do wtf they want to do. They’re not going to work and having politics about whose turn it is to make coffee, or why Will should never have got promoted over Kay. Really they’re the smarter species
