Sorry, he’s out of the shower now.

You’re missing Voyager and Lemmios.
Until the next big social media fuck up, which neither Spez nor Musk can stop themselves from making.
You’re just here early, and the platform still needs work. It hasn’t even hit 1.0 yet.

Don’t worry, you won’t be able to afford this anyway.
I think you’re far too willing to believe that every consequence of his actions is somehow intended and desired, like he’s playing 4D chess to acquire magic Attention Coins that are somehow going to translate into wealth and power later. The truth is that Elon is an impulsive idiot easily swayed by other idiots on the right, and this negative attention is only going to make it harder for him to ever make back the money he invested in Twitter, which in turn will tank Tesla.
Dang, how did you manage to nail the right font for X in a comment like that?
So when does Kevin Costner get to sue James Cameron for his lazy copy of Dances With Wolves?
I think we’re going to be seeing new waves of Reddit users on a fairly regular basis. Steve Huffman likes to roll these things out slowly in drips and drops, and it is very unlikely that this move alone will make reddit significantly more profitable to run. If he wants to do an IPO soon then he’s going to need to make some more choices that really annoy the users (banning porn seems like an obvious one, even though he’s said something like he’s fighting to keep porn on reddit). They’re going to keep cracking down in dumb and obvious ways on things and redditors will abandon ship just as soon as something they care about gets in some way messed with.
Don’t forget that redditors have left reddit in large chunks dozens of times in the past.
Yes, but also no.
At the end of a r/Place event the palette changes, and you can only place white pixels.
So yes, you could use a bot to write it again; but no, in reality you wouldn’t be writing anything.
Text based social media will never work. I don’t want to hear your thoughts, I just want to see you dance.
But you can block whatever communities you want. I’ve blocked a lot of different communities that have content I don’t like, and now they’re not in my feed.
Everyone who left reddit or significantly reduced their time on reddit returning to constantly refresh a page advertisers won’t see that says “fuck spez” is helping to boost Reddit’s numbers. This isn’t just about whatever number of people left reddit for Lemmy.
You’re just driving up traffic and engagement on reddit, at a time when Huffman desperately needs to convince advertisers that reddit still has a lot of traffic. It’s saving the company financially.
So yeah, not a great protest.
I joined because I still want the same content without the asshole owner. I’m here for the different power structure, not because I hated Reddit’s content.
Because this is donation-funded. Having a big audience is the only thing that can ensure financial stability long term.?
And I don’t think content that is funny rather than informative is inherently bad or less important. There’s nothing wrong with this place being fun and not just some stuffy content classroom.
Right now those communities are more important than ever. They are what’s going to bring more people here and grow the fediverse. I don’t want to start hiding popular content at a time when Lemmy most needs to be popular.
Everyone’s definition of bottom of the barrel will be different, and nobody’s personal content preferences should be forced on the community as a whole. If you really dislike those communities that much you can block them.
I think there are better ways to highlight smaller communities and grow them more organically, like a community dedicated to new and small communities (sorry if I fucked up that link, I’m new here) could highlight a new community each day worthy of our attention. Reddit used to have a subreddit of the day.
Right now the number one thing federated social media needs is just more users. I worry they’ll feel discouraged if they stop seeing the content that gets the most upvotes right now.
I was convinced OP had made a typo.
