I really wanted to like it, but it’s already a right-wing cesspit. 🤷‍♂️ Maaaaaybe it’ll improve, now that it’s public, but I don’t have high hopes.

I know this place is just the opposite kind of echo chamber, but when the other option is being beaten over the head with transphobia and Maga shit, ehh, I’ll take it.

When I owned one years ago, I legit had no idea for the first few months.

The first time I clicked it with the power off I panicked and assumed I’d somehow jammed it or something. 😄

That doesn’t have the specific story I’m thinking of (and I don’t recognise the blog/author), but it’s good to know there’s an endless parade of similar stories. 😬

It was probably Reddit but I haven’t used it for a long time, so no idea where I found it.

I read a thread somewhere where abortion clinicians were sharing their experiences.

Someone said they frequently got told they were going to hell, by women who were in the middle of their abortion and holding their hand at the time.

I’ve been thinking about it ever since. The mental gymnastics on these people.

There’s the slow-and-not-very-capable link preview thing… and I could’ve sworn the “what’s new” page the other day said they were adding an on-device model to improve search results or something, but I can’t find the reference to it now.

Maybe they removed it after all the AI backlash. 😬

Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.

Come on, this isn’t Reddit, at least skim the article before you start with the performative outrage.
