Honestly this has crossed my mind several times as another reason why people don’t put the phone on their ear. You might be on to something!

I’m convinced people forgot that our huge handheld devices are supposed to still be mobile phones that you are supposed to put against your ear when you call someone.

I certainly hope so. Cats can be so quiet too so definitely hope this was just a constructed situation.

I’m hoping this was a joke and not real. Hopefully they have blocked the corner or the cat is never actually doing that.

Thanks for sharing, this made me smile. Also it warms my heart to hear how you are making tech accessible to this kid.

Many of us take it for granted but I remember how my dad used to go over to family friends in his free-time to help with computer stuff. I feel like I was too young to learn but it did set an example for me.

Sounds like [email protected] might be a nice community to post this question to as well :)

Isn’t that very country/culture/field specific?

Come on OP, you are better than this. This is just a distasteful post.

Sorry can’t open the link; It requires reddit PRO /s

Ah shit I forgot about “display name” since I’ve been using voyager app…

Yes, I believe this is the first scam/spam-to-private-mail bot that reached such a wide audience. On lemmy at least.

Been going on for quite a while now, but it’s difficult to block permanently since there are so many instances where they can make an account. Until they’ve used up all the nicole+instance domain names lol.

Might get a rare nicole if you do that

Well they do have their own instance: feddit.is

Just a routine inspection and corrections on the road.

Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.

It’s your instance (lemmings.world) admin.

This… This is how fediverse works though… You are also on an instance run basically entirely on volunteer work.

If “we quit” there is no fediverse. On top of it all moderation tools are not mature enough yet.

You’d rather have your data scraped and sold? Or pay to use a platform like this?
