The same way I feel about MySpace

It'll take a while for the volume to trickle down to the smaller more niche communities, but I have already seen the volume increase tremendously in the large ones. Let's enjoy the ride.
I'm enjoying sitting here with popcorn and watching Reddit burn. It's like viewing someone destroy their company in real-time.
Watch the remake/retooling. They admit the old show existed and try to build on it. It's not bad, though Sam should have eventually come home.
The members of the Titan submersible would also have been shocked and furious.
Sure: Knowing that the impeachment will fail, this is the political play to move it closer to the election to try to influence the election with this waste of time.
I was suggesting untethered. I understand it would drift, what I think it would do is 1) let everyone know they are alive and in trouble and 2) give folks who understand ocean currents the ability to try to hone in on a search area. Maybe they already have a tight search area and this would not help, I just don't know. It sure is starting to feel like the thing imploded and the magic untethered buoys from my mind would not help anyway.
Another thing to consider: Any time u/shittymorph posted about the "Undertaker throwing mankind..."
Some of us VCR clock-setters are on Lemmy already due to the combination of us loving playing with tech and the attitude of "fuck you I won't do what you tell me". I've seen the fall of the original BBSs, Prodigy, Compuserve, AOL, Geocities, MySpace, Yahoo, Digg, Facebook, and here I sit watching Reddit's behavior with a bag of popcorn. If they don't backpedal, they'll get their IPO, Spez will get his money, and the shell of what Reddit was will continue to exist like MySpace and Facebook. It will strive to stay relevant while slowly becoming more and more irrelevant over time as the newcomer gains steam. Will Lemmy be that newcomer taking over? I'm not sure but it sure is fun to watch the world burn sometimes.
Since you mentioned us "older folks" I can't help but feel this is similar to the day AOL joined the Internet.
