Well, I disagree. I didn’t touch Reddit for a year and finally went back about a month ago.

• THE ADS. Fuck me, the ads now!

• The corporate plug-ins. I had a legit, verified business comment on my post and then PM me after it.

• The videos freeze more often than makes me comfortable clicking on them.

• The pop-up trash now; “follow this”, “click here”, “did you know”, “ICYMI”. The U.I looks like Yahoo’s home page now.

Is it dying? I don’t know. Is it exhibiting every square inch of desperation, turning the corner from what was once cool, to what is now every pixel monetised and sponsored? Yup!

If you stick it out here for long enough, three things will change.

  1. You’ll begin to really like it here. It’s different but it grows on you, and it’s growing with its users.
  2. Your addiction to these noticeboard-type socials will dramatically reduce. There’s something about Lemmy that’s less addictive in a good way.
  3. You’ll eventually go back to Reddit and see it with new eyes, realising just how quickly it’s dying.

Linux users and vegetarians. Neither can shut the fuck up. Both have made it their identity.

Are you a Linux user?

Hey everyone, shut up! This guy is a Linux user and he’s here to tell us about using Linux.

Stupid question: what the shit do you do with your 15 years of communication history if your email provider falls off a cliff?

He’s still worth $200B.

Spending $44B? $88B? $100B. Doesn’t matter. The dude never, ever has to think about money again. If he lives to 85 and doesn’t earn another cent between now and then, he can splash 6 billion dollars a year every year until he dies.

To give you some understanding of that kind of money, he could roughly buy two Lamborghini Diablos every single day for the rest of his life.

a) discussions aren’t a crime.

b) what are studios going to do to the hundreds of millions of daily pirates? Write stern letters?

c) they tried identifying us and sending us stern letters in 2001 and we all laughed, then kept pirating anyway.

Yup. About 7 years ago I used to darkweb pretty hard in the drug scene (I haven’t in years so have at it, Mr. FBI).

Anyway I used Reddit subs a lot for info on new markets and onions, reliable sellers, and news on exit scams etc, but I only lurked - never commented. Anyone with a brain in their head knew they were honeypots.

I said I’d leave Reddit on July 12 and July 12 is when I left. Sure, I miss it, but it was an unhealthy, 4 hour per day/8 year addiction that’s been broken.

Now I scroll Lemmy for maybe 30 mins a day.

I dunno man. The Wiki link provided says LinkedIn is heaps less than Twitter, but this dude’s bubbles say the opposite.

Not arguing. Just confused.

[–] Art3sian@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Is this right?

Twitter and LinkedIn don’t match the Wiki data and should be inverted, and is the Wiki link correct pointing to 2021?

Yeah, hi. I’m lactose and gluten intolerant and I was wondering if…
