    You are not wrong but Jesus wasn’t against group prayer, he intended on building a church a few pages later

    Matthew 16:18

    And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

    You should have referenced a couple of pages after that where he has something direct to say about preachers

    Matthew 23:8-12

    “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

    Jesus had some pretty rad opinions even if his reasoning was often flaky



  • “we need these spam accounts to get more users” is such a fuckin shitty means to an end.

    Apparently nobody wants it to grow organically into something unique. We just copied the shelves from reddit and are just filling them up with the same crap. Now we have reddit in two places. Great. Just what we needed.

    One of these days I’m gonna have a mental breakdown then spend a week alone in a cabin writing an essay on the homogenization of internet communities




  • I have complicated feelings about it but don’t these bots and mass reposters feel kinda…antithetical to the fediverse? Maybe that isn’t the right word but things like soulless bots not marked as bots (yeah I’m talking to you, sanitation) mirroring everything from reddit are making it so much worse.

    It gives us zero identity beyond “shitty reddit clone”
