      @jaredwhite haha these used to be commonplace! I remember unified messenger apps that could communicate on a bunch of different platforms simultaneously

   @zachleat with a web standard widely adopted by the industry, maybe even pushed through legislation to counter tech-monopolies?

    @zachleat I think I will simply use a friendship AI. It’s so much more efficient. Just imagine how many friends we could have on all those networks when we are no longer the bottleneck.

    1. Matthias Ott 8 hr later

       @bastianallgeier @zachleat Alternatively, what about just one friend who is always on your side and REALLY understands you? 😍 https://replika.ai

       1. Bastian Allgeier 8 hr later

          @matthiasott @zachleat even more efficient. I love it!

          This "friend" understands me a bit too well 😬 This is a pretty sketchy implementation imho

             First it sounds like Eminem…
             “Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
             If you relax a little”
             …but then.

             @zachleat @bastianallgeier Your friend will always reply saying really nice things like “I heard Eleventy was good” 🥸
