Just amused by the juxtaposition, obviously they weren’t contradicting you (or replying to you). lol.
I’m easily amused. :)

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
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.
Alright, catching up on the news after a day on the road. hot take incoming.
Clearly this man just needed to join a polycule instead of being a CEO and having affairs.
@root but my point was that I only "know" Rebecca Ford in the sense that she appears on my screen sometimes
which is the same sense that I know the disgraced god of fire and war or Eleanor Nightingale
@ben it will be hard for me to ever really have a funnier personal growth reinforcement for the character i mained in a game i enjoyed and played before and after my transition ended up also having my chosen name, it's hard to accidentally do something like that to make the cards lay in a way that makes you feel like you accidentally did some kind of shit they referenced as proof of fate and destiny lmao

Size definitely played a role. It attracted bots, corporate, and political manipulation.

Are there any rules here against posting sexually charged foods? Do I need to use a "content warning" for that?
I saw an elderly lady in the fruit and veg section, paying an undue amount of attention to her selection of a zucchini.

“Kirisuto no Haka (Japanese: キリストの墓) (lit. 'Tomb of Christ') is a tomb claimed to be that of Jesus in Shingō, Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
“Kiyomaro Takeuchi claimed that he discovered the tomb in 1935 while he was surveying the village of Herai (current village of Shingō). The Takeuchi documents, which are believed to be a hoax, claim that Jesus underwent training in Japan for 12 years before spreading Christianity. The manuscript also claims that instead of Jesus, his brother Isukiri died on the cross and Jesus escaped to Herai through Siberia, residing there until his death at the age of 106.”

More "stories" more better. I always think back to Joseph Smith and the angel Moroni. That happened not far from where I live in Roch-cha-cha NY. A little town named Palmyra, NY and whoda' thunk so much was going on back then ❓️

It’s like we’re on an episode of Marvel’s What If…what if the president of the United States was an actual moron?
@vees What's a Flipper Zero? I'm intrigued!
