If not a/s/l, not realistic.

18/f/cali, even if the real answer starts with a 4.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you try to say 16/f/ca (as was the meme), the app censors it.

[–] Seralth@piefed.seralth.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I... Don't know how to feel about that. That makes sense but also feels awfully blasphemous to the origins of the internet.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

If it helps, part of that joke was that it should always be assumed your 16/f/ca was always 43/m, and it had a bit of an "I am Sparticus" feel to it.

On the Internet, we're all 16/f/ca.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Meanwhile, I was 11/f/nj, which became 14/f/nj.

Yes, there were creeps.

I did actually make friends with a real life 12-year-old from North Carolina, though, so that seemed pretty cool (we spoke on the phone a number of times--he was definitely a 12ish-year-old boy).

OP, this is you for real? First off, well done. It's lovely to be online without bots.

Can you tell us from a privacy perspective, what records and data you collect? I assume IP address and logs of the text. What else? Browser data? Just curious.

[–] Henryterd@feddit.online 53 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Thank you :-) - yep, it's me. no account or email. your lines are stored with your screen name and shown to people in the room for up to seven days.

a random token in your browser holds your name so nobody else can take it; it isn't tied to who you are. your IP is used for rate limits and spam and kept 7 days at most.

lines are checked by an outside moderation service before they post, and a few refused ones are kept 48 hours to tune the filter.

the bot check (Vercel) may set its own cookie. nothing is sold. full privacy page is in Help. don't put personal info in the room, anyone can read it.

[–] EisFrei@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

The "outside moderation service" appears to be OpenAI, so the chats will be stored indefinitely.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Womp womp... Saved forever.

OK, well I guess I'm going to have spam the other rooms with no one in them with ChatGPT injections.

Because it says so, when you click through the help page.

For rate limits, I would ask that you please add a cooldown counter to know how long to sit out. I also didn't know no URLs were allowed and tried to paste a link, which didn't paste. So I try and edit it to not be a URL, no go (which I'm sort of OK with, but broken up URLs might be nice). Then in that and trying to ask "hey, can we not post links here?" I got throttled to the point I wasn't sure how long I needed to wait around. If it's a minute, I'll wait. If I somehow hit 10 minutes or something, that's crazy.

I do want to commend you for translating emojis to emoticons. That's very classy.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I still use IRC. It's great.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Had to use my 90s username for the 90s chat.

I was only 12 in 1997, as well as morbidly obsessed with death and knew the latrin prefix "necro" meant dead and appended "file" to it, like a dead file or a 404 error. I was unaware that necrophile was a word or what it meant, so I usually got teased when I came into places rockin' the name "n3cr0fil3." 🤣

I just recommended Angine de Poitrine to someone in there, good times.

Also I’m recommending Angine de Poitrine to all of you too. A breath of fresh music air in this goddamn capitalist hellscape we’re in.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

While i love them too i dont think AdP exist outside capitalism.

Making me all nostalgic. Dale’s page needs one of these

[–] dltk@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Have been running Linux since either 95 or 96. Literally still on IRC. Looks exactly the same today except the font in my xterm is bigger.

[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

What a cool thing! It's super chill in there.

[–] AGuyAcrossTheInternet@fedia.io 12 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't been called slurs, yet. 0/10, not accurate. >:C

Hehehe, I love that you also made a bootup and desktop interface! You've done a real good job!

I’m just here to fight about Windows 95 vs System 7.

I mean it's in the domain name so not unsurprising

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago

So where do I send my bots?

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well this is pretty neat
