I’ve had fantasies of becoming a bus driver.

Three of our best senior engineers eventually decided to become farmers. One “retired” to be a personal chef.

I’m just saying.

There is a disgusting underside that I don’t want to get into. Let’s just say that Reddit clearly doesn’t care that much about policing content. It’s only this topic in particular that they cannot condone. Criticizing billionaires is where they draw the line.

It disgusts me.

We definitely have our own bots and spam problems. Instance admins work diligently to keep the situation under control, and so far, they’ve been pretty successful. I’ve seen a few waves of it in my almost 2 years here.

I don’t think there’s a way to make the problem go away completely, but I think this model has proven more resilient so far. I believe in it.

I came here with the API changes, but I knew there would be future waves. It’s so nice. I believe in Lemmy and the promise of federated media to help technology work for humans.

It’s the way of business these days. They got their money. The ship can sink now. The users suffer.

You even found your way off the biggest instance! I’m impressed. Most new users just go to World, but it’s not the best for the network. Indeed, my first account was there.

I’m afraid to say that’s not even the worst thing I’ve seen on Reddit and know continues to exist there. This is about bending over and showing their fealty to billionaires.

That’s the problem with these corporations — the foundation is rotten, and they have no principles beyond more money. It has been this way for some time.

Now, we have an economy where the arbitrary whims of billionaires and our king is the main determinant of their share price. This is how Reddit kisses the boot.

They would exhume my grandmother if it increased share price by one tenth of one percent.

There is an MLP community if you’re interested. It’s pretty dead, but I post there.

Shamelessly cross-posted.

It makes me so happy that I saw protesters today in front of the nearby dealership. Elon a shit.

The memes have always belonged to the people, not to Reddit.

There are more than enough bots to prop up those numbers.

💯 the only correct response. It’s a hostile entity undermining your country.

You spoke the truth. They could not handle it.

What a shithole site.

Welcome! We are few, but the bones are good.

We have gone completely mad. Save yourselves.

Even better just don’t go on Reddit.

I’m not sure there would be an advantage. The signals are very different. That might be approximately equal to building a new one.
