That’s a good point

I heard they love ex-cops in jail. Long time.

Of course the CCP health ministry would never lie.

I thought Grimes had an affair with a trans person, and ever since he’s been on the crazy train. Maybe he knows exactly that it’s all bullshit, but it’s also lucrative and hard to backpedal.

Saw a toddler with a phone in hand today, maybe a year. Couldn’t walk yet, but had no trouble scrolling.

India is wild :(

I’d like to know, too. Especially considering most servers I’m on are unlikely to switch.

Nope. It’s a bit kitschy, but it does its job. Nitro though, nah.

“human animals”… reminiscent of “Untermenschen”.

We don’t have the medical treatment yet. But we’re getting close.

I guess you’d call this growing pains, and it’s good this happens this early and is being done in such a manner. There’s just no way to reason with corporate, you have to point a gun at its head to make it move.

Every decision he makes only hastens Twitter’s demise.

Gonna check out Connect, thank you :)

I don’t think Lemmy will reach or overtake Reddit. That’s a good thing in my opinion, because massive platforms come with massive moderation problems that aren’t so easy to tackle for decentralised networks. We’ve seen that when someone posted kiddie porn and several servers went down to scrub the filth from their systems.

If anything, Lemmy already has a pretty high amount of troll communities, thankfully mostly contained within their own servers, which enables separation through defederation (speaking of defederation, I’d love to have an option to block servers on the user level).

I’d think it’s more that there’s now more media fighting your attention. When I was a kid (GenX here), we had a handful of TV channels and books. Books was what I went with.

Nowadays, I get home from work and watch something on YouTube before bed. I still read, but my standards have risen, and a trashy space opera won’t do it anymore for me. It has to be a great one now, and there are fewer of them. So, naturally, YouTube gets a bigger share of my time. Or games, when I have time to play on the weekends. My comfort game used to be Civilization, and currently I’m hooked on Baldurs Gate.

When I first heard about the API shutdown, I immediately overwrote all my comments and posts with randomly generated nonsense, then kept reading till RIF ceased to exist. Before I deleted the account, I ran a mass-deletion tool. Hopefully that prevented them from restoring the original content I contributed for free. Been on Lemmy ever since.

“Are you not entertained?”

Why hospice, is he terminally ill?

YouTube. Titles and thumbnails get worse every day.

Not everyone is an English native.
