@bupgames You will never be forgotten fine person. 🫶🏿

I pity the poor girl that got her image used by whoever did that. Nothing shakes the feeling that was a smear campaign against her.

Damn I remember that Nicole thing, feels like its almost ancient lore at this point.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

I don't know why but I like to try and fit as many Mini Cheddars as possible in one go into my mouth. I have just managed a personal record of 20, in two stacks of ten. Nobody else to share this with, but I am pretty chuffed about it.

@davidrevoy the key that successfully unlocked the door should have been marked "4" ;)

@luanmdlima

Yup, there's more info about it at https://fedi.tips/setting-your-language-preferences-on-mastodon-and-filtering-out-posts-in-other-languages/

@bupgames thank you for my very first interaction on the platform. 🫡

@That_One_Guy dealers choice.

@dialektgefahr @mobilizon

It means you can follow Mobilizon events/organisers from the Fediverse (through Mastodon etc) and their updates appear in your timeline.

Only the organisers of events need to sign up on Mobilizon, their audience on the Fediverse doesn't need to.

When's Bonk Friday, anyways?
