  • Meh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.

    Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we’re never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let’s hope half of them actually stick around.








  • I miss the good old days when reddit admins still pretended to be part of the community. Anybody remember the “when this post is [x hours old] reddit will go down for [xyz]” posts? Then the admins were in the thread cracking jokes with everyone about the fact that their servers were powered by hamster wheels and they couldn’t afford a programmer? Oh how the times have changed…










  • School officials knew Carranza was being severely bullied and sent her for multiple weekly counseling sessions. However, the officials reportedly never notified the child’s mother, who says she only found out about the abuse after her daughter’s hospitalization.

    How in the hell did nobody bother to tell her mother about the bullying? And how did she even get weekly counseling sessions without parental permission? I don’t have kids, so I guess I just don’t understand how schools are run these days, let alone in a shithole like Texas, but this story just sounds bizarre.
