Migrated from Lemmy to Piefed, just another stalker on the web.
Some people in HS absolutely reeked of weed, and one day before class someone spayed some apple scented air freshener to cover themselves. I joked “Ahh yes. I love the apple and dumpster fire weed smell, it really mixes well”
Like that shit is not saving you, stop trying to pretend like you don’t smell like weed
Almost thought this was a Mango Pablo ("I did it… I saved the town" guy) post…
Honestly, getting rid of any chat (voice/text) and DM features would would help. I don’t think kids should completely lose online gaming, just make it almost impossible to communicate with anyone on said game. I played a shit ton of Mario Kart and Splatoon online as a kid, but neither of those games offer personal messages/chat features (unless you set them up via app), so I imagine grooming would be almost impossible.
I don’t want to take Roblox away from kids, as I understand how fun it was growing up, especially if you can’t afford a console/games at home. But chat has to be either heavily moderated, or just entirely removed imo.
I get that Nord is annoying with the amount of sponsorship deals they do, and that they’re probably not a VPN people should trust (or at least high risk people), but YouTubers do have to eat and pay bills man. I skip almost every sponsor I see, as they usually never offer anything I need, but I understand why creators do them.
It’s a necessary evil, as many people (like me) are not going to pay a YT every month to help keep their channel up, especially if you watch many. This is the issue PeerTube has preventing it from being a place that draws in more creators; you can only generate revenue from the charity and kindness of viewers.
Of course some are purely doing channels as a hobby, but there are many who need their channel to live, or have this as a side-gig so they don’t live paycheck-to-paycheck. So can we not judge?
