They were always going to win. It's their platform. They can do whatever they want. But... They lost my attention and paid subscription. I now only go to Reddit when I'm looking for something I can't find elsewhere. It used to be my favorite platform.

My take on it is that the Republicans will do their best to drag this out until the election. No compromising or middle ground. Just make it out to be the crazy Democrats fault. This stuff gets to be very predictable after all these years.

I’m angry at her, but more angry at the voters that reelect her. Get new blood into these positions.

It’s the same crowd and over time they will be identical. The power of moderation is the only thing that keeps nastiness in check.

Mine is from January 2006 and I am very tempted to delete everything and nuke the thing.

I’ll bet these companies throw everything under the sun into the theft bucket. That includes internal mishandling of inventory. They then exaggerate the costs for insurance claims. 

Both X and Reddit have lost my interest. I really liked Reddit but X was and is for people that like to be told what to think.

 This country has always had the best politicians money can buy.

My bullshit meter with Ramaswamy is off the charts. He will say anything if he thinks it will give him traction with the Trump crowd.

The current Republican Party is the weakest least qualified group of politicians I have seen in my lifetime. They would be better of setting up a clown show.

I have the same gut feeling. People that behave so righteous usually are hiding something.

Microsoft is just as bad or worse than Reddit.

You’re assuming the bulk of the interaction with your phone is producing content instead of consuming.

This can play out in other ways. Search platforms start indexing open platforms and more links start making reference to these platforms.

Anyone that thinks, not supporting Ukraine to at least keep Russia in check, should read “The Rise Fall of the Third Reich“.

Welcome the circus. I read an interesting post that said Reddit has the bulk of the users for this type of social media, but the users who add value and post etc. are the ones you need. The users Lemmy needs to attract are not the crowd that lurks. It’s the crowd that posts and adds value. That is a much smaller group of users.

My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest. 

If Reddits pricing was reasonable I would not find this objectionable but the way the Apollo developer spoke about this, the API pricing was meant to kill third party developers.

What the Republican Party has become is truly amazing.

I totally agree. He is hiding something and the rest of his party is too stupid to pick up on the signals.
