I just don't understand why mods form big, popular subreddits don't switch over to lemmy/kbin/whatever? If it is sunk cost fallacy that is irrational. They have a big following, all they have to do is say "hey guys, we are moving to another site. Go to sign up." If it is because (as some people suggest, not me) they are power-hungry mods and fear losing that power, it is also irrelevant since they can host their own instance and have all the power they want. If they could organize a blackout, surely they can organize an exodus? What am I missing?
I'm wondering/imagining. Did he walk into a diy store to get that thing himself or did one of his employees do it? Did he buy it an hour before or a day before? What goes through one's mind to think "I'll go buy a sink and have my picture taken with it, that'll be funny". Was there a meeting about this?
I have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact the is some sort of market value to be had by paying 42,000 per month to twitter.
ohh, hyped about the scents.... my olfactory nerve is trembling in anticipation, and I'm losing control of my sphincter. Which is never a good combination.
Then I will wait patiently until you do 🙂 And thank you very much for your work and dedication.
I'm in. Anyone got a catchy idea?
Here's hoping. (yeah, I'm an unreasonable, hateful bitch. I despise what they did with the Apollo dev (and others) and I hope it bites them in the arse.)
I'm not up-to-date with the latest in accessibility, but does lemmy cater for those who need assistive tech? (just curious)
I got twitter during the arab spring to keep up with what happened. I used it mainly for things like that ever since. But it got bad during Trump's reign in America and worse even after Musk, so I used it mainly for porn lately and deleted my account yesterday together with my Reddit account. Not sure yet if this place will be a viable replacement, but willing to give it a chance and see what happens. Like you, hope to see both Musk and Spez go up in flames and live their lives out under some bridge (well, I am using a hyperbole here, they are (supposedly) human after all, so I hope they have a good life, regardless)
Still trying to find my footings. The thing I miss most is active engagement. The comment sections sometimes feel so empty. But I will give it time. All in all, I find the experience better than I anticipated. Using wefwef on my phone and the instance-site on my desktop and laptop. I am sure a decent app will be developed in time.
Quality content is one thing. Engagement is another. I see lots of new posts that are good, but little to no comments. What we need is a few good communities with lots of engagement. On reddit I was more of a lurker, here I will start to do my best to comment more in the hopes it helps. (Still, my comments will probably be stupid and uninteresting, so it might do more harm than good, lol)
Is he scraping the barrel or just short of loose change?
