I like how it started with a smaller Fuck Spez until some group clearly went “nah, we need to go bigger”

Legit. It’s been great, keeping up while not having to actually do anything that might support reddit.

My dude, America is one of the most right-wing places in the world by comparison lol

It’s the ol’ Blizzard “Look, we’re introducing a new character who might be gay! There’s no lore that references it anywhere, we’re just tellin’ you they’re gay or lesbian, aren’t we great!” kind of maneuver. Ooh, look at the special thing we’re doing, aren’t we playful and fun?

For the record, I’m all for inclusiveness, I just use Blizzard as an example since they used to be just so transparent about that before the really dark times.

Bro you’re doing more than most of us, thank you.

But yeah, our carbon footprint is minuscule in comparison to corporate footprints. We need them to fucking play ball.

What’s more profitable: Exceptional profits for 30 years until civilization collapses, or sustainable profits forever?

Fuck that, embrace your teenage cringe self

I used to have them. They work in a pinch, but it’s not the most solid connection in the world from personal experience.

I’ve had that happen before when I used to work at Arby’s.

First customer of my shift, and this monster pays for a regular roast beef sandwich entirely in pennies. It was roughly 450~ pennies. I was ready to murder.

I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s probably going to be a thing for awhile :) Asking the internet not to hold a grudge is like asking a fat man to skip the buffet

and I’m saying that as a fat man

The difference is, though, if you care enough, you have the capability of finding out what’s in the code, the only limiters at that point are yourself

In closed source, you just have to trust the publisher and developers

haha yeah that song

do you uh happen to have a link

nono, I want to watch it ironically, my interest absolutely wasn’t piqued by “anime thighs”

The never ending ouroboros of reposted content :D

I’m only hopping on reddit momentarily if I’m looking for specific information. For my casual browsing, I’ve largely transitioned over to here, and I’m enjoying myself immensely.

I’m not surprised it’s a huge drop, but there’s a vindictive part of me that wants the bleeding to continue.

No matter what your source of information is, you always have to be mindful and take information in context, and be sure to validate unproven claims. There’s a thousand interests competing for your attention and loyalty, and a lot of it is driven through fear and uncertainty.

Any fearmongering about China makes me uncomfortable, as it should every rational thinking person. Just like fearmongering against everyone should be viewed with suspicion.

Be careful out there, everyone. It’s a wild jungle.

Real shit, right here

I just joined Lemmy today after uninstalling Reddit Is Fun. It was absolutely surreal just how much habit was in pulling out my phone and pressing the space where RIF used to be. Decided I’m kind of mostly done with Reddit other than quick information look ups on the website.

So here I am! First post! The only constant in life is change. Hello everyone, I hope we all get along! :)
