“the things that made Reddit Reddit years ago, before it turned into generic social media”

Bingo. From a financial standpoint reddit doesn’t care about how it used to be. Being generic social media is worth more money to them

On reddit you go to /r/place and can place a pixel on a certain place on this huge canvas of like… idk 5000 * 5000 pixels wide? Its a huge canvas of pixels. So you and your friend or another subreddit can try team up and conquer part of the canvas, lets say the bottom right corner. And then you can all work together and create a little flag or another picture/image like this one. I am not sure on the limit of how many pixels each user can post per minute, or the exact number of pixels, but its roughly something like 5000-10000 pixels wide and high

EDIT: This image you see would be a tiny portion of the entire canvas. You can tell because the resolution of ‘Spez’ for example is pretty bad, which means its only a few pixels wide. If it was taking up the entire canvas it would be perfect resolution and you wouldnt see janky edges

This is an example of the entire canvas at some point over the past few days. Its probably actually something like 50000x50000 pixels

No i dont think he should be decapitated literally but maybe in the sense he would not be involved in Reddit anymore

Do you think Marie antoinette shouldnt have been killed?

You see the way this tank imploded?

What if the titan was the same implosion, albeit stronger/faster, but the way the edges/ends of the cylinder didnt really collapse, only the middle? What if you were sitting on the end parts?

You don’t need a different user for each instance unless the two instances you want to comment between are defederated.

Ahh but theres now 3 i have to browse

I’ve donated to wikipedia before because I feel its valuable to me for all the information it gives.

I might donate to lemmy if i feel its valuable to me for information or discussions

Yeah I guess if you think of the fact it actually went ‘boom’ you can imagine the water didnt really flow in but rather flew in very fast. There was probably a huge shockwave that killed them instantly

If you were to slowly lower an open glass into the ocean, it would gradually fill with water. So i just think its the same with the sub, albeit faster?

Yeah I never used RiF but dont think sync had that feature

Thats the reason I am hesitating on deleting all my stuff.

Some of the tips I have given for tech support for stuff over the years, while pretty much only has been useful to a small number of people, will no longer be accessible. Anyone googling in the future or trawling through reddit threads trying to find an answer will be met by my answer and a guy replying “Thanks! That worked” but my comment would be deleted.

I know that would suck and would affect other users so im not sure I want to do it. Even if it meant helping one person

Sync here (btw the creator of sync is making a new app for lemmy)

I know a diesel engine works off compression, but it has a fuel. All fires must have oxygen, fuel, and heat. What fuel would they have in the titan to ignite?

I believe they have found parts of the wreckage. I wonder if we will get any clues to how it happened. I guess either way they wouldn’t have survived long

Do you think they died from the water rushing in and hitting them unconscious?

Yeah to be honest it probably doesnt matter all that much. Another point would be that theres several communities I would like that dont even exist on any instance so its not even a complaint yet lol

I know right wtf was that lol

I think it also fucked over all the top posts because they couldnt compete with the new algorithm?

Only thing which isn’t great is the fragmentation of communities. For example having several different soccer communities, or several diff gaming ones, etc.

For anyone wondering, you can still use it on mobile by changing the address to old.reddit.com in your mobile browser. So its still accessible on all mobile devices, just not on www.reddit.com.
