Or we could fill the whole site with porn and gore as soon Reddit goes public to decrease shareholder value.

Ok, somewhat more radical element on lemmy it seems

[–] berkeleyblue 7 points 1 year ago

That stuf is allready ther in plentiful amounts. I just wait till they announce they’ll bann nudity on the site and see them crumble like Tumblr

First time I hear about the second wave. In any case, fuck u/Spez

Is the permanent blackout a scheduled thing, or is it because all the apps will go down?

[–] HooptyDooDooMeister 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Scheduled. It will function exactly how it's functioning right now.

I can't wait for the reddit servers to shit themselves again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think that was related to AWS having issues. Seemed to have happened at the same time.

considering the doubling down I think the number of communities committing to a perm blackout starting now is increasing as well.

It's not much but I put /r/switchroot on lockdown and don't know when I'm gonna bring it back up

[–] HooptyDooDooMeister 10 points 1 year ago

It takes a drop to make an ocean. Thank you for doing your part.

Huh? Whats the news regarding that next wave?

Can you summarize for those of us who don’t want to step into that site again for now?

Heck yeah. Thanks for the link.

[–] brownbreadboy 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m hope this is true! Any sources?

[–] TheFrirish 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please I hope it continues I really love lemmy and jerboa is improving so much so fast these days thanks to accrued interest.

I know some people here would prefer for things to remain quiet but the potential of the fediverse is really under used let's grow this place and then fix the new problems that will come.

[–] PsychoticBananaSplit 5 points 1 year ago

I came here to protest but stayed because it's a better alternative.

[–] Niiru 4 points 1 year ago

Holy shit the comments in that thread

[–] lemmy_in -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now that we moved off from reddit, can we stop with this sarcastic uppercase lowercase way of writing? I automatically skip any title written like that. It just takes so much cognitive effort to read

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

it's not a reddit thing

[–] HooptyDooDooMeister 1 points 1 year ago

Years of sarcastic tones being lost in text finally gets a solution.

But I feel ya. That multi-color sentence text thing kills me every time, and I refuse to read them.
