  • Sure!

    I can’t speak for the original commenter, but many here on Lemmy will type in unconventional ways so that if the instance gets scooped up by bots and used to train AI the data is harmful instead of beneficial.

    I don’t know if it actually has an impact, but it can be fun to participate in data poisoning as an act of subtle resistance.

    I believe the OC might have typed sez not because he is a bot, but rather to sabotage bots down the line. Maybe he just did it to save a letter.







  • At the time we were using suede pillowcases, I believe. We have since switched to silk.

    That being said it’s all but impossible to avoid microplastics in attire. 100% cotton clothes are rare to come by, are expensive, and hard to wash and dry. Wool is all of the above with the addition of being itchy. All couches have carcinogenic fire retardants; all chicken is bathed in chlorine.













  • That’s why I appreciate discussion online. You can sit on a thought, type it out, amend it, and nobody is sitting across from you wondering why you’re touching your face so much.

    The other side of the sword is that it can be hard to find communities that engage in deep and/or non-combative conversation. While Lemmy is pretty light on the hostility, it can be hard to find people to interact with sometimes.
