I regret being complicit in allowing these silicon valley behemoths to reach a point where they're indelibly linked to practically every aspect of the average person's digital life.

At least the Fediverse and Lemmy are showing the way forward.

Well it could be an attempt to divert attention away from the latest season launched in Path of Exile just last week.

Has to be Dinosaur Jr and the track Freak Scene off their 1988 album Bug. When I play it it always takes me back to a time when adult responsibilities were not a concern and life was less complicated. The song, for me anyway, encapsulates the late 1980s.

Hmm, still reading through them but really this was one of the only reasons I have been running whispers in the end-game and it has been removed

You'll be paid in NFT Snoos.

In all seriousness, this leaves the site wide open to exploitation in the pursuit of monetary gain.

Ultimately that will lead to a degredation of content (even more so than now).

Victoria's firing coincided with the last time Reddit was prominently in mainstream media. This was back in 2015 when Ellen Pao's controversial tenure as CEO led to questionable subreddits being expunged from the site.

It remindeds me of the time my family signed up to AOL after using one of their free trial discs from a magazine. It has the same feel as those days, discovering forums and messages boards dedicated to all kinds of esoteric interests you could think of.

It's like the days before the dark times, before the empire.

Only the most superficial of people would use this reason as a method for diminishing or isolating someone.

I would question my relationship with them if this is their outlook.

Have been a Reddit user since 2009. Has been difficult to make the transition. You get complacinet as you get older. I was never a big contributor but this seems like a solid alternative
