If modern social media trends have shown us anything, it's that content quality could be shit and it doesn't matter if there will be thousands - if not millions- of people swarming to view it.
Nothing against you btw, it's just a general frustration I have with trying to move focus away from these sites
I found a cosmetically defective Elite Series 2 controller on the cheap on eBay, so I've been rocking with that with zero issues.
Definitely beats buying one new that's for sure
Yeah, the article itself makes me a lot less sympathetic towards the author than the headline would suggest, given he instigated this whole legal dispute on frankly idiotic premises.
I think I'd be cool with letting a bot repost content from the PCM subreddit to the PCM lemmy. One of the biggest hurdles, like you mentioned, is the content drought disincentivizing regular users, but also the meme creators who likely want to post where most of the audience is. If via bots our content was functionally similar to that of the subreddit, the PCM lemmy could be advertised as the same content but with better management (I mean the Reddit Admins, the PCM mods on there are chill). And that to me sounds like a good idea.
As far as front ends go, I think I'm satisfied with the dark mode I'm already using on browser, and Jerboa for mobile- occasional bugs aside. Though if I had to vote from the given selection, I'd probably go with Photon personally. I would even consider switching to it.
Calling it regifting feels a bit strange to me, but I get why the term was chosen. Overall I do strongly support making the utmost use of everything we own. It's a good way to save money since you won't be constantly buying stuff as much to stave away boredom.
In terms of others, I don't think it needs to be anything more than just saying "Ayo you got x, you should try using it more bro". Doesn't have to replace some other gift, and it's just another topic of conversation.
As an older Zoomer myself, your description of Gen Z fits me to a T
Might be because of Threads, and Meta seeking to use ActivityPub themselves.
I don't disagree with you though; I don't think the fedi is big enough at the moment to register as more than a blip on their radar, as you said.
Before Nerd02 goes on a warpath, I should clarify the dyes were temporary

A pair of powered speakers, hoping I might get lucky at my local thrift stores.
I've seen some good ones in the past for low prices but wasn't in the market for them until now.
If plastic grocery bags could be considered single use, then I think I have an interesting method to share.
Since I was young, probably in the 2nd grade or so, my mom and I were trying this project where we'd take plastic bags and cut them into strips. We'd then feed these into her sewing machine, which used one of its functions to stretch the plastic until it was about the same with as a thin strand of rope or thick yarn. We'd quite literally roll them into balls of plastic yarn.
She'd then knit them into all sorts of things. Drawstring bags, coin purses, and her favorite- tote bags. They were very pretty and had unique feel to them as well. The best I could describe it was it felt like a fake leather purse, but more bumpy due to being knit. It might not be the most efficient method of reducing single use plastic waste, but given that we still have the bags we made back then, I'd say we did a pretty good job of keeping them out of the landfill!
Fuck around and find out, as they say
To my knowledge, these privacy laws prevent corporations from holding onto your data after you have requested to delete it. Lemmy is not a corporation, and there is no single entity that holds onto all of your data. That's just a tradeoff of being decentralized.
