29 days agoI’m still for an social media alternative for and only for young people, preferable gouverment based, so that it dosn’t need to make money. In Germany, a while back we had SchülerVZ (maybe the original StudiVZ is more broadly known) with excatly that purpose. It had all the trolling and bullying we know from social media, but all that was way less toxic for 12 year old me, because most were like at most 16 at the time.
When it’s administered is a good way, you give these young fucks the outlet to share their cringy shit with their friends like they want to and teach them how god awful people on the internet can be at the same time, while in an safe space from predetory adults and their companys.
Then you create something and don’t put the colours in. Like, the fuck is you’re point man?
That’s no Netflix shit, where they had a board meeting and decided the product needs more gay. That is a non commercial rom hack, where the creator decided to put the rainbow flag in it. If I wanted to create a hack myself, where the whole screen is just the rainbow flag and every NPC just says ‘Trans rights are human rights’, I’m allowed to do it. I don’t, because I myself dislike the whole pride ‘You are special’ feel good rainbowflag galore shit, I just want to be able to hold the hand of my boyfriend in public, but for some folks, it gives them strength in hard times, and that is a net positive in my book.
