I think we are the content. For now at least. Some Lemmy channels have a lot of activity. It might take some work to get the more niche ones off the ground.

They're asking their users to leave. Its about time we oblige them.

Be the change you want to see in the world. I’ve been on here since the api controversy. I’m done with Reddit for good now, after about 15 years. So now I’m going to try to drive activity on all the niche communities I want to see here.

I spend more time watching markets than I probably should, lol. I haven't been very active on lemmy, but I'll start posting stuff. I suspect the next few years in the market will be... interesting.

I feel like I found a new reason to avoid amazon every time I looked for a product not being sold under some random fake brand name. I cancelled prime over a year ago and started shopping elsewhere. It costs more, but the quality of just about anything is higher.

I avoid amazon for the same reason I avoid walmart: everything is a simulacrum of an actual product. Somehow, amazon is even worse than walmart.

So yeah, boycott amazon and shop at places selling actual products.

The bristles are made from bundled pine needles. The handle is from a crepe myrtle tree. Basically, just a bunch of stuff I had laying around in my back yard lol.

For anyone looking to learn about astrology, this is a great podcast to listen to. They cover all the major astrological topics such as the signs, planets, house placements and forecasts.

Ex mormon here, and I had the same reaction. The shit that went on in that church is absolutely insane in retrospect. Like, it seemed "normal" at the time, but now looking back as an adult its all a bunch of "what the fuck" moments.

Like that one time I was a 15 year old kid, getting asked by a church elder if I looked at porn as a "purity test". I have no idea how mormonism is even legal.

 

Blessed be, witches of lemmy

Same here. I figured it was a matter of time before reddit was entirely ruined after the api change and IPO. I stuck around for the niche communities, but they've all been overrun by bots.

RIP in pizza, reddit.

I'm here, lets save democracy. LEEEEEROOOOOY

This is an interesting question for me. I used to be solidly in the "no" camp but became part of the "yes" camp due to some things I've experienced in life.

Life is strange. Maybe it's nothing more than what is happening in our brain. Maybe it's more than that. I choose to believe the latter, but I'm open to having my belief challenged if (when?) scientific study provides a better answer than what we have now.

Starsiege. No, not tribes. Starsiege, third game in the earthsiege series. Tribes was actually a spin off in the same universe that got much more popular (with good reason, tribes was awesome).

Starsiege was a pc game that came in a bigass box, complete with multiple books filled with lore from the game's universe. It wasn't as well received as mech warrior (another mech sim), so it didn't have a big community. But those of us that played it loved it to death. I think you can still get the game running if you don't mind fucking with a bunch of sketchy third party patches.
