They can’t even do bullshit PR correctly. You do the listening tour before the steady stream of unpopular decisions that go against the feedback you just collected.
I respect the remote grind but that does NOT look good in public office
Insurance companies are about the purest form of capitalism around. If they aren’t making money, they aren’t going to participate. This is going to be a problem for California, Florida, Louisiana, and places in the Mountain West.
Yeah. While I do feel like the impacts of inflation are slowly slightly (maximum price gouging achieved), 3% CPI has to be some wildly-creative math.
Time to waste $3!
Pretty easy to see that this will lead to immediate short-term gains but long-term pain. I can’t tell you the amount of infinite loops I’ve found myself in with AI chat, even among the most simplistic questions.
I would be absolutely shocked if this wasn’t just smoke and mirrors marketing.
I genuinely hope so. I know that not all hope is lost, but some days the relentless march of climate change articles – Vermont thousand year flood! Phoenix, 99 degree overnight low! is crushing.
Boring
It continues to baffle me that when addressing an employment gap, instead of improving working life for parents, that stepped is skipped entirely and instead we reduce barriers for the children themselves to work.
Your comment is spot on, and it’s what led me to ultimately cutting bait entirely, after 12 years of heavy daily use: it’s never coming back to what I remember it as.
Reddit is certainly not going to die anything – the website itself will likely be around 10 years from now – but it won’t be the reddit I remember or loved. So I moved on. I toyed around with Squabbles for awhile but this feels much more like the reddit experience I’m looking for.
“Turkey_titty_city” as the name leaves open some options lol
The content here feels much better than other alternatives. Squabbles is stale by the end of the day (smaller userbase) and discuit is painfully quiet. It’s not perfect, but the content here actually helps me to tolerate the server growing pains
This is a tough one. Is it better to know about an incurable disease seven years later if you can’t prevent the progression of symptoms? Amazing study though.
Look at that, spez’s idol being opportunistic against him. Dumbass.
This is the most level-headed take. Reddit is going to continue to slog along with or without my account, with or without Lemmy’s 53k active users. Anyone who thinks this protest is going to sink them entirely is naive.
However, they may stagger along as an enshittified website that has lost it’s spirit and never meaningfully grows again. Reddit is still better than any other alternative at this point in time, but Reddit is not by my estimation going to improve again. It’s all downhill. So I’m doing my part and trying to work to build community elsewhere.
We don’t need 50MM users to reach a mass where the content is fresh and engaging all the time. Probably a fraction of that would be. Lemmy’s userbase is double Squabbles and there is already a noticeable difference in content.
Here you go: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=30
I have my toes in both Lemmy and Squabbles. I am skeptical that the fediverse can withstand humanity’s collective need for infinite and continuous financial growth, and I am frustrated with the buggy and laggy website. However, I have been enjoying my time on this site more than Squabbles, and I think a BIG part of that is that the doubled user count really creates a fresher and more dynamic conversation, especially in the smaller communities.
Yep. u/Spez should be shaking in his boots at the 53k active user count here, the XXX at k.bin, and the 25k on Squabbles. Obviously it’s a fraction of reddit, but you only need to get to a certain critical mass to where even more obscure groups can have a source for news and meaningful discussion. That discussion and community is why I defended and advocated for Reddit for a decade+. Not reddit itself.
They’re betting that they are the untouchable community but what happens if the community splinters? They’re worthless.
I’m not surprised at all. Even if I WANTED to move, we wouldn’t be able to afford to buy our house back on the open market. We got lucky, and now we’re stuck.
Building or buying up in this market feels like a dream, so we’re slowly improving the house we have to fit our needs.
