This is probably the correct answer. I’m a fairly smart guy but the enormity of space is astounding. We aren’t going far anytime in the near future. Probably we’ll kill each other first. Manned Mars is even a stretch even, imo.

Understood, and I’m not saying it doesn’t matter. I’m just saying ‘welcome to our world’, basically. I’ve said plenty of stuff online that I’m not super proud of but it’s a ‘cost of doing business’ and I won’t lose any sleep over it. Hell, our phones know more about us and how to exploit us than Lemmy ever will. I do appreciate your post but I just think that it’s a product of the ‘connected’ world we live in.

But I could pretend to be you anywhere. People do and have done that since forever on many social media platforms (and IRL for that matter). Sure, it’s a problem but not unique to Lemmy. As I said, the mechanics are different but that doesn’t really matter, does it?

@VexCatalyst@lemmy.fmhy.ml is using a metaphor to convey social media interaction. In this context, yes, everything echos and remains in that square. It’s no different that Reddit, or Facebook or any others. The mechanics of it on Lemmy may be different, but the end result is the same.

This isn’t a slippery slope or bad faith comment. Sit down and be quiet.
