Controversial opinion: I see more recycled content on Lemmy than Reddit. Comments are usually far better here, but it's an unavoidable reality that there are less people generating new content here. Especially for niche communities.

Hop on over to the niche communities about movies or particular subgenres and they're either dead or recycling stuff. Go to those same niche communities on Reddit and you'll see lots of fresh content all the time. Maybe the main feeds are comparable but if you're into anything niche that isn't computing, privacy, politics or gaming, Lemmy can get a bit stale.

According to her statement, they were still trying to strike a deal with her within days of the release.

I can't imagine anything more shady than trying to strike a deal with someone for their likeness, all the while preparing to use it anyway and later denying it had anything to do with them

Oh it's far more useful than that. It's the shiny new thing that's going to make a lot of money for shareholders

Is there a working alternative frontend for Twitter? I haven't visited the site since the public instances of Nitter I used went down

It sucks when people gatekeep like that. You can like what you like, even if it's not the most critically acclaimed music

This guy said something entirely uncontroversial about the only rapper to win a Pulizer prize for his skill in writing and he's being downvoted to the underworld.

Something tells me a lot of Lemmy users either stopped listening to rap a decade ago or skew in a very particular demographic direction

I guess you would look insane when you're actively fighting every instinct to close your eyes and protect your face as a ball hurtles towards you at 150mph
