You mean their meme review episode? I stopped taking him seriously after that. It’s so bad it has it’s own cringe value.

There are invite-based systems since the dawn of the internet, notably torrent trackers and closed forums, and mods can see who vouched for them. It’s not worth it unless the community has something unique to offer (i.e. new blueray rips, non-public deals). Adding crypto to it doesn’t add anything of value.

I couldn’t’ve written that otherwise.

But it’s still concerning.

I find my instances down. I couldn’t access lemmy.world for hours. But I still tried to reach. Does it mean I’m more addicted than you?

That’s how majority-vik party becomes the government on display.

Denying big powerful entities from controlling you is both anarchist and communist, and is based.

I’m sure if it comes to being ruled by Meta, many previously .lm users would get it.

From the side of Fediverse, there’s like no argument to accept Facebook but WE NEED TO GROW. And no, the influx of some millions of users won’t bring life or quality to Lemmy, it would replace it for what culture of communicating is in the Insta. And I don’t feel like many people there would vote to have this.

Once you accept it, your community is overtaken (and you need to serve another thousands of users as an admin). I don’t feel anyone would be open to include them.

They did not want to think it through for they didn’t care.

This came to a logical problem of naming a coalition by several group names’ initials. And a very loose one at that. I felt the same about the flag updates.

It is a conclusion to what they stand for and why they are created – to get united under one banner to be seen – but at the same time it counters that in how it is disunited in these exact banners, also to be seen and recognized but individually. And a rainbow flag, iirc, wasn’t meant to mean something by each colour in it, lol.

I feel like switching to the name and a flag that don’t include that self-expansion and would just stay the same would be better – but then I catch myself realizing it is nothing other than creating another acronym\flag and asking to be argued by those who promoted these expansion for I deny their effort to gain visibility.

Shit’s a mess.

Can we say Gabe’s practice can translate to movies\shows? His products are at least 10hr worth (thus worth subscribing and enjoying an occasional sale), can be further promoted by having multiplayer, cloud saves, achievements…

It’s true this old blood can’t understand pirated MKVs are better than streaming-only DRMed shit. But is there anything they can really do to make their services work?

I think that it’s not a problem of a service itself if it’s not too shitty, but promotional campaign with memes like the one of Squid Games. One can be a Hitler of streaming platforms, but if this show is the new Lost, you’d make a bank anyway.

Muskie-baka can’t figire it out. I feel obliged to help him.

What exactly to thank him for?

Reddit is my place to check on news about the ongoing war. For some reason it wasn’t banned in r*ssia and is availiable without vpns. Lots of exiles from other places joined subreddits there.

I don’t feel like this blogosphere would move into fediverse. Occasionally, reddit became the right place for this.

At that stage bots and spam accounts are unlikely tho. Maybe in a year it would be worth it. Especially if\when Tumblr or Threads get into that, but I doubt it.

They do better than Soviet union, lol.

Weren’t they a tankie? I’ve heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don’t have proofs myself.

Nothing positive is needed. It’s an outrage engine that keeps you involved by edging on the max level of disturbance you are comfortable to consume. Seeing, posting reactions, having likes enables you to keep it going.

I bless thou. And I approve thy use of knee-cappers against these sticker-snatchers. You are to collect their kneecaps in the name of God. Be blessed, u/QuazarOmega. Be blessed.

Behold the Holy Sticker. Thou shall not remove It for thou art a mere mortal. It keeps secrets way above thy primitive perception, for it’s a domain of certified wizards, proprietary witchcraft and manuals on applied necromancy.
