Not strictly a scam, but there’s a little money to be made creating viral content on Facebook. They receive a tiny portion of the ad revenue from Facebook when they generate engagement.

It’s just Facebook sucking really.

A rule of thumb for weirdness in age difference is age/2+7, leaving you at 51/2+7=32,5. So going by that, 30 is a bit on the young side, which is obvious also from the fact that you felt the need to create this thread.

If one person would be in a position to judge you for it (or rightfully feel weird about it) it’s your daughter. It’s safe to say she seems cool with it, so whatever.

This is just obviously not the case to anyone who bothers reading it. It’s an original piece of writing.

The only thing that could hint at AI here is the use of em-dashes, which is a bullshit tell—I use them all the time myself as well. They’re right there for anyone with a compose key on Linux.

Yeah, I understand your point and I think it might be the only way of silencing these trolls. Perhaps making it this explicit is the only way of providing clear enough guidelines, I just feel like it’s a bit bombastic as a point 2.

What left me a bit reluctant was your comment that other communities “are hosted in Germany which is a Zionist police state”. I’ll be the first to criticize Germany (this is precisely what got banned me from [email protected] half a year ago, after all), but this seems a bit bombastic especially when paired with rule 2.

I already got banned for criticizing Germany, I don’t want to get banned for defending them as well! ;)

Thanks for this! I will contribute for sure.

Edit: I would possibly revisit rule #2 though - making the rule more general, such as “no hate speech”, and specifying that proponents of any hateful ideologies should be excluded. Right now it’s strangely targeted - I guess “no antisemitism” goes under rule 1, but I think rule 2 should be wide enough to also cover “no nazis”.

Edit edit: As frustrated as I am by [email protected], I think I’ll proceed with some hesitation.
