Damn Lemmy to hell for getting me into memes again.
I loved them decades ago, but then moved on. Then I lost all my communities of interest and spend all of my time here. With memes only.
It’s getting better very slowly but thanks for keeping me mildly entertained in the meantime.
This roadshow belongs to antique.
I mean it’s easier to find than a pack of menthol cigarettes where I am but I’m still looking forward to mainstream acceptance of the benefits of psychedelics.
Keep doing your thing up there!
Thanks Newsom!
I know that. I’m talking about the shitty popup.
That’s great that it doesn’t happen for you. For me, any time I end up on Reddit in a browser on iPhone, it gives the obnoxious “open in app or continue in browser” popup.
I use private mode in safari though, maybe it’s not saving a cookie or something.
I stand corrected and apologize for the misunderstanding. Thank you both for your service.
How then do you explain the ground noodles?
Dedication does not always equal results.
I have no faith that bird will arrive with anything more than parsley on bread.
It’s times like these when I most wish I didn’t have this bee allergy.
Oil/grease + tomato. Dawn.
Good writeup, but a few things I’m taking away from it.
I’ll say it again, fuck RedditCorp.
A recurring theme I’m seeing in these articles is the framing of it as a RedditCorp vs mods issue. I was just a user. Yes, the mods got screwed hard here, but so did any casual user who relied on well-designed apps to allow them to access and participate in the discussions they cared about without being clotheslined by an ad every 5 seconds. This is as insulting to the users as it is anyone else.
It’s been mentioned by a few others but why did they choose Discord? This article points out the flaws with it, all of which would be resolved by migrating to Lemmy/Fediverse. I’m not a user of Discord or Reddit, so I’m not tuned in to their reasoning.
Related, another article that gives no mention to the incredible growth that’s happening over here. Maybe that’s for the best, but a little exposure couldn’t hurt. I know all of my niche equivalents over here are silent.
Shoutout to Guy in the article, most of the things he said are 100% spot on for members of any passionate community. I hope more people who continue to use that one outdated site read this article and finally ask themselves, “Why the fuck am I still sticking around this place?”
I did not know that, interesting.
Likewise. Pretty sure it’s heading exactly where we think it’s heading.
I wonder if the people who either linger out of hope or don’t realize what is going on have been around the internet long enough to have seen this happen before.
Many of us have seen this happen over and over and over. There’s nothing surprising about it. Yes, your go-to favorite website will fail you.
Decentralization helps, but I can’t imagine shit won’t hit the fan at some point in the future.
13 or 14 years here. I didn’t delete my account but I don’t even want to give them the traffic from going back to see my join date.
If the top of your burrito is open, you should find another taqueria.
No such thing as a convertible burrito.
