    Maybe if the default typing animation wasn't as horrid as the defaut waddle/walk, people might actually use it?  Do all the starter avs have have the exact same AO?  Because, I have to say, that default typing animation always made you look like some crazy person typing out their manifesto before setting something on fire.

    It's not nice to talk about @Madelaine McMasters when she's not in the thread :)

    I'm sure Maddy appreciates your looking out for her, Katherine. However, as Rowan is one of her alts, she actually is in the thread. She's usually not so sloppy as to drop hints like that, but her hay fever has been acting up and she's high on Benadryl.

    last time I checked we all had an ego.

    There's no doubt in my mind that Maddy's an id. There is considerable doubt in her mind over whether I'm her ego. She is, at the moment, yelling "f-ing buzzkill superego" at me from downstairs.

    Nope, no doubt at all.

    Sometimes I just want to bring you home, hug you (Maddy) and squeeze you and call you George.

    Just quoting you Maddy but replying about eating dung. Coprophagy......

    Hey I said on another thread I appreciated the spontaneous threads where we go off-topic, but this is going a bit too far!  😁😉

    Look, I warned about squeezing Maddy. And how you're trying to do it in a thread discussing Coprophagy?

    I'm with Kiera, what the hell is wrong with you people?

    Must you give her ideas, Love?

    Yep. Tricky and dangerous as hell.

    But LL is going to be (I hope) carefully curating this, for ALL of the pages.

    Doesn't this now bring up another question? What qualifies LL to be curator of any, much less ALL of the pages?

    Regarding group representation in SL, how would LL discern what it is? They don't know the identities of anyone without PIOF. How would they compile any kind of census? If they mine our behavior to determine how we present here, and focus PR efforts in some attempt to make SL "look" like RL, might that happen by inadvertent slight of hand, where residents pretend to be in the groups being promoted?

    Many of us have an "I take people here at face value" approach to SL. That's works pretty well when we think of this as a fantasy world. I'm not sure how well that weathers the encroachment of RL.

    I've been wondering what would happen if SL recaptured the world's interest and grew into a major social media player. Facebook and Google already have content moderation tools and teams in place that are getting a lot of attention from politicians and activist groups, both for not going far enough and for going too far. Imagine what might happen if Section 230 (the law that absolves platforms of responsibility for content posted by users) is revoked. Even with 230 still in effect, critics have been using the increased curation of content by platforms as evidence that they are indeed publishers, not platforms.

    If any responsibility that to LL as a result of their curation, or the demise of Section 230, do you think they might require at least some proof of our identities? If that happens, I imagine the the largest SL community will become... expats.

    ETA: For anyone that wonders. Snugs = Maddy and Maddy's incompetent.

     I just discovered something AMAZING and I wanted to share it with you guys. - I just found out that I actually have the ability to read minds. Right now I can only read my own mind though.

    I can read Maddy's.

    It ain't pretty.
