A pretty early chatbot called Eliza simulated a non-directive psychotherapist. It kind of feels like they’ve improved hugely but not really changed much.
Or fashion bow ties from their testicles. . ?
Yeah great innit? I always used to be a reader and I’ve been rediscovering old favourites and reading a bit of new stuff. I have limited screen time after work and life etc but I’ve also been doing the same with films. And there’s a load of games on my list too. I’m not saying reddit was a waste of time, but I’d spend an hour or two a day on there, was constantly in ongoing conversations with a bunch of people. Lemmy is much less so. Social media is good n stuff, I’m gonna stick with Lemmy for a bit - but yeah, books etc :)
Yeah same here. I used to comment on reddit multiple times a day, I comment on Lemmy maybe once or twice a week. There’s just not as much here that inspires me. It’s okay, though, and I’m reading more books.
Yeah. I was active on reddit for over ten years but I said I’d quit when they did the API thing, so I did. Gotta stick by what you say you’ll do. I missed it at first but then I read a lot more books and was fine. Now sync lemmy has arrived and I’m gonna see how it goes here.
Shame about reddit but it’s become an example of the enshittification that seems to be the recent trend. So fuck it.
Thanks, will do.
Hey mate,
Yeah I’m another one who followed you over from reddit.
I think I maybe need to play with Lemmy a bit more - it’s a bit confusing. Is there a map? A general guide or explanation for the ignorant?
Also, cheers mate - you must have put in a shit load of effort in a very short time to put this together. Fast development since the reddit API bullshit. Respect. An I paid ultra cos I like your work
