Ugh, AI, AI, AI. No no no, i'm not trying to jump into that conclusion. And no, i did not mean to offend anyone with this message. I'm just stating my opinion on that. I mean, in my honest opinion, AI at this point is not that bad, and i don't see that problem, but when it comes to that point, man. What a mess. AI slop is everywhere, AI everything, bleugh! Not trying to be rude, but i'm stating my opinion on that. Yeah, i agree with you, ζBUS. No way i could be using newer Micro$lop products with their godawful so-called "newfangled" AI features, even in a virtual machine, though i used that often (or sometimes), but that's my honest opinion. (The adjective word "Micro$lop" refers to or describes Microsoft, which i wish i shouldn't say that, but i'll risk it anyway.)
Oh, i can see your frustration with the internet and the system as a whole. And, i have to agree. I feel the same way, friend. AI age verification in my opinion, ugh! I would fear that i would be hacked. I'm too scared if you know what i mean.
My frustration was with the internet and the system as a whole. I simply found it bizzare how some people on those "other sites" have nostalgia for forums, despite that 1. They still exist. and 2. The way we handle troublesome events seems to be no better than the big sites, as proven on here recently.
Our advantages still hold true, as evidenced by the fortunate lack of mass surveillance (e.g. age verification) and data collection, and the way we feel like family that you'll never get from Reddit or Discord.
So if anyone from the outside world is reading this: if you miss forums so much, make yourself at home here or on the countless other forums that are alive and well.
Yes! it's a fact. Our advantages STILL hold true. I agree with what you said. Thanks for the great advice.
Again, this is not a rant, but this is my opinion on that point. I really, really hope LMT will become a better community in the future.
