It is and has been a mainstream site for a while now. It’s followed the same trajectory as Facebook. The typical user only cares about the topics that interest them. They have zero interest in what’s happening in the background and are fully accustomed to being blasted in the face with ads 24/7.

The only thing I want to read about her is that she’s decided to exit politics and live a private life. Thats it.

If I did a single thing this douchebag has done, I’d be in jail. Yet he’s the front runner for president for a political party. Blows my mind.

I cannot wait to not hear his name or voice again.

I’ve never heard the term sealioning. Is it really a thing?

I don’t think it is, but if you have any evidence to prove it, I’m listening.

His best decision to date, yes.

[-] flipthetube@lemmy.world 88 points 1 year ago

He is. He’s your average internet troll that made a few lucky decisions in the past.

And don’t call me Shirley.

That’s the size my supposedly powerful computer thinks every PDF is with Acrobat Pro.

The Fifty Fathoms!

I don’t expect it to be as popular as the Moonswatch, but I think it looks great. Definitely didn’t see this one coming.

Progress is forward, not backward.

13 or 14 years here. I didn’t delete my account but I don’t even want to give them the traffic from going back to see my join date.

I don’t give a shit about a platform. I come from the phbb days when you sought out your communities and eventually landed with a bunch of likeminded people.

I ditched Reddit because I will not support their greedy race to the bottom. I won’t “just check the sub I’m in to occasionally” I’m done with it.

The only content I’m remotely interested in here in the fediverse is news related. And it’s boring as fuck. I didn’t go to Reddit for Reddit or news. I went there for the specific things I’m in to. Real shit, not memes.

I’m not going back there. And I can only yell at a wall here for so long.

  1. These people have to deal with the public. People suck, so burnout happens pretty quickly.

  2. Most people don’t want to do that job so your criteria for acceptance is relatively low. See post office or other public-facing gov work.

Edit: Huge shoutout to the woman at the DMV the last time I had to go who was the nicest person I’ve ever interacted with in any situatiin as a customer, not just at the DMV.

Damn, the ads… (lemmy.world)

Haven’t touched Reddit since 7/1 but decided to go back and unsubscribe from every sub today. Figure even if I’m not an active user, I’m also now not a number they can point to as success.

But holy shit, the ads I had to see. They’re bigger and more more blatant than I remember. I can only assume that they throw them right at the top of every feed to get that view before you leave.

Fuck Reddit.

Yes, albums weren’t $10, even on small labels. We were dropping $20+ hoping for the best. In some cases convincing ourselves it was good, just because we spent so much on it.

According to the website, it’s been completely drawn and is done.

Either Lemmy is late to the game or ai knocked it out before we could contribute.
