This is hilarious. You don't change your mind about a new policy unless it was absolutely terrible and threatened your business. I can't see twitter surviving much longer; how are they even going to make money?

It's because 100s of migrants drowning at sea is something horrible that regular people can't do anything about. It makes us sad, and angry. Just like almost every other story about billionaire greed and the coming climate disaster.

Now, a bunch of ultra rich, regulation hating, planet destroying losers dying in a tiny submersible because they have the kind of money to go see the titanic for fun? That's the kind of story that makes us feel good. It's karma.

Good. I commented earlier about how horrible hexbear was. I signed up for hexbear, hoping to meet leftists, but these are not leftists. They just parrot Chinese/Russian propaganda. They have no original takes, no critical thinking. Call me whatever, but, I'm pro NATO. I don't give a shit about what bullshit propaganda you show me from a totalitarian regime. If the U.S. is bad, then the CCP is pure evil.

I think the concept of "enshittification" will become more apparent to more users. Younger people, who are more technically literate, and have seen social media rise and fall I think will be more willing to adopt platforms like Lemmy. Reddit was a "place for weirdos" for a long time until the general public noticed it and began to post comments and posts to YouTube/Instagram/Twitter. Lemmy just needs time.

One thing I always like to say to people, is "The internet was cooler when your parents didn't understand how it worked." I think the concept of Lemmy appeals to and will start to appeal to a lot of people soon.

This is me as well. gen z, hate that trillion dollar corporations run our social media. The fediverse is the future.

Interested to see what they mean by bad behavior? Also, what a terrible, dumb decision. Beehaw always seemed like it was ran by uptight former big subreddit mods.

He also did a solo dive. Something I feel like you wouldn't do unless you were heavily involved in the community.

Karma we can definitely do without. I don't know of anyone who actually took it seriously anyway.

This this this. The fediverse being "confusing" keeps the idiots, boomers, trolls, and overall horrible people away. Having to learn something new is too much for those people. Lemmy/Mastodon and so on are "nerd" platforms, and I really like it that way.

He wants it to look even more like an evil sci-fi corporation? Come on, who is gonna be Superman and take out this dorky Lex Luther loser.

Yes. I love that guy. He's on Mastodon too, which is super cool for the fediverse.

I mean, is it out of the realm of possibility that bootlicking comments are those made by Reddit themselves? Comment sections can quickly become echo chambers, I'm sure reddit knows this and uses that to their advantage.

Not to say that there aren't plenty of addicts and general idiots all over reddit.

The best part about lemmy.world is how open and hard working our dev team is! Thank you!

What would be an example of an addictive feature that could be added to Lemmy?

Very good news. Nuclear power simply has way more benefits over fossil fuels. Not to mention it's statistically safer, despite what decades of anti-nuclear sentiment has taught the public.

This was very interesting to read about, thank you. In the United States, we all consider Finland to be extremely progressive, and ahead of us in many ways. So this was odd to hear. Even my American friends who have been in the military have told me about visiting real therapists while on base.

In the article it mentions emulation as the only method to play some games. I mean, that's a good thing right? Digital Media can be copied and shared over and over. Physical media can get lost, destroyed, hoarded. More work needs to be put into perfecting emulation software, and we need to ensure there is a backup of every game ever released.

Mastodon is available. It's pretty good if you find the right people. It just needs another boost like how Lemmy just got.

Most likely scenario was always this one. Quite possibly around the time that they lost contact, was also the time of the implosion.

Something about this one really hit me. I think it's his face just blankly staring.
