That’s some straight up gaslighting shit. If they can figure out to charge it, they can print it on a bill.

With people learning about Fediverse, I’m guessing Instagram. Why? Because IG has become overwhelmed with influencers and TikTok-like junk. The initial wave of people into Pixelfed will be techies that want a break from that scene. Their friends will hear about it. The friends that just want to have an IG-like experience to share their pictures with friends while avoiding all the rest of the noise will slowly transfer over. Once they hit the critical mass, the switch will happen. This will take at least another year or two.

those are the admins of one instance. if you don’t like them, you can join another or create your own

yep, I had a similar train of thought

[spez] screwed up so bad, and it’s obvious he’s quite stupid…I’m wondering if he was given the Ellen Poa treatment. The investor’s knew what changes they wanted to implement to increase revenue, had him implement it, then made him take all the flak. Next, they’ll replace spez with someone else, seemingly roll back a few of the changes, and say they’re working with the reddit community. The thing is that it’s obvious that reddit is irreparably infected. The diseases cannot be eradicated because the disease is corporate greed. Reddit began its time in hospice the moment they shared they were going public. It’s over. Done. Say you final goodbyes. RIP in pieces.

“Swallow all your morals. They’re a poor man’s quality.” - spez, probably

Can’t beat the Jose Canseco one. I used to go back to it a few times a year when I was down for a pick me up. That AMA was prime shitposting.

I don’t know how someone can insults their character worse than by pretending to be a victim and getting caught as a fraud. At that point, your word is gone and no one should waste their time listening to anything you have to say.

“MS Teams is amazing. Now that I have it installed on my home computer, my boss can see whenever I’m readily available, even on weekends. I would sure hate for our implicitly obligated…err…family-oriented work environment to fall behind on deadlines arbitrarily made up by our owners…err…the company’s management team to help them climb the social hierarchy…err…the team exploit…err…achieve more impact on the community. Sick day? Not if I can login from the hospital.”

while i don’t necessarily disagree that porn can destroy the meaning of sex and wreck one’s brain, i really would prefer the state stay out of my business. i think a better approach would be to provide education on how porn affects us and avenues to seek help should someone fall into an addiction. however, getting the state involved on what people can and cannot say is too much control for my comfort.

I’m not against it as long as I can avoid reddit taking over my feed. I’m happy to get away from reddit, not just because of their business practices, but the culture has changed to something I rather avoid. I’m liking this cozy federated feel so far and would prefer to keep reddit’s culture from taking over my feed again.

Judging from my experience trying to sign up for a Lemmy instance for the past 2 days, it’s going to be hard. Unless I was doing something wrong, I can see a lot of people having difficulty signing up and eventually giving up. kbin was much easier to sign up for.

I had bought the premium version 8 years ago for just like ~$3-5. that was such a great deal. i loved the ui and how smooth it worked. they never integrated all those new awards. it was just nice and clean.

RIP RIF. it’s the end of an era.

I had over 1k comments removed without any problems

yes sir! it’s one of the options. you can change all comments to whatever you like.

In case anyone wants to delete all their reddit comment and posts before leaving, I used this nice little product that did it automatically for me:

https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

i also might have used a github app to delete all of my posts and comments across all of my accounts. i might have done that before reading the post. however, after reading the Apollo author’s post, there’s no way i might go back to reddit. that is some manipulative shady af bs.
