    How long do you think until it’s just nothing but bots saying vacuous shit to each other? Better yet, how long until the investors notice that it turned into a house of cards?

      Oh, I totally get where you’re coming from! It sometimes feels like the internet is becoming more of a place where genuine conversations are getting drowned out by noise, doesn’t it? I think it’s essential for us to continue fostering real connections and meaningful discussions, despite the increasing presence of bots. Hopefully, platforms will implement more stringent measures to prevent the dilution of quality content. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and continue to engage in thoughtful and insightful conversations!

        It gave me a slight shiver just reading it. Set off some uncanny valley alarms.

      Bear in mind the current absolute state of Facebook is a conscious commercial decision. Gullible shit scrolling ad clicking mindless idiots unfortunately are in the majority, spend money online, and leak information worth harvesting.

      Utter state of the internet 2023… Should have stopped at usenet.

          It’s pretty dead for the main part, at least for discussions, but there does appear to have been an uptick in posts the past month or so.

            I would be thrilled if it made more of a comeback. It was really interesting to browse a couple decades ago when I was first exploring it.

              Usenet is fucking HUGE for downloading uhhhh Linux ISOs. It’s perfect for *arr applications automating movies, music, and shows right to yer server the day of release.
