Brute force moderation is what killed it IMHO. Same shit that as happening to .world

@chartier gosh, how are you locked out of your devices? I’ve had prompts to sign in to my Apple account and calendar has stopped syncing etc, but I’ve still been able to use my devices.

@ThreeOhFour Those page borders look neat. Is there any particular inspo behind them?

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.

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

Getting too close to Trump was a mistake.
@nickclegg and I knew that then.
It's clear now.

@mark My personal opinion on you not getting too much interaction on your artwork, while awesome, has been the shift to folks running a client that feeds both Mastodon & Bluesky…I have purchased an Ivory sub but am waiting for Phoenix. I know alternatives exist but often forget that I need to switch between apps because I’d rather give my money to folks versus the Indigo folks…no shade, just loyalty. @Tapbots ❤️

@sanlaville11 @ffeth je crois que le score pitoyable de Joly a été mon premier réveil sur l’état de la gauche dans ce pays. On peut trouver tous les défauts à Tondelier, mais elle est tellement moins problématique que les autres candidats de gauche que c’est même pas drôle.

La bise à toi Valérie (et la vache qui rit, c’est de droite 😄)

Happy 15th anniversary Skyrim!

The final day you are the latest numbered sequel in the series is starting to feel much closer now, but you've done better than anyone could have expected with your time with that distinction.

You're fantastic, and we'll still be spending considerable time with you in the years to come, even after Sentinel finally arrives. We hope you have a good birthday, and you enjoy a sweet roll from us!

@Aleums what’s the most rancid hill you’re ready to die on

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

I was banned from some community because of “nazi apologia”, lol. I only realized this months later when checking the modlog for unrelated reasons.

Honestly… totally on-brand for me, I’m a big nazi simp. I’ll take every opportunity to glaze Himmler & the boys, fondly reminisce of WWII atrocities, and debate whether we should have included the bavarians in the shoah.

What can I say, that’s on me
