I'm the kind of person who's making this a reality because I heckin' love Christmas time.

I only want to hear "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" on loop in every store ever day of the year.

It's not about trickle down, it's about building to meet the capacity. I live in this area and can tell you first hand. I live in a cheap building and all the luxury condos going up has made it so my landlord cannot jack up rents anymore. They were doing it constantly before the building boom and now they can't even fill multiple units at the rents they want to charge.

I'm not 100% sure but I'm willing to bet that's for the streamer Destiny who's community often refers to itself as "dgg" for destiny.gg.

I had a friend with a CD player/tape player boombox and rich parents, he would copy the CDs to tapes so I could listen to them.

Not to be pedantic but Limewire wasn't released in the 90's, 1999 on the title is at least close to a good date but 1990 is way to early for programs like Limewire, that's basically universities and military only internet times.

Math? I write code, that's words bro. Why would I ever need math?

I'm curious what the make up of people migrating are. It could be the early adopters that helped Reddit build out the platform ahead of Digg collapsing. It could also be people who were looking for an excuse to leave because they didn't really like Reddit for one reason or another. I think I fall more in the fed up with Reddit and looking for anyone/anywhere doing it better.

I'm really trying, the main thing I miss is the amount of content and the general navigability of reddit. Finding new subs was so easy and lemmy feels harder to just browse imo. I've moved to the lemmy RSS and deleted my reddit bookmarks to help keep me from going there out of weakness though.

We'll see to what degree the migration stays/works. I would be very happy to see some competition in this space.

I also think it will take actively engaging where to me Reddit has been mostly a passive platform for years because it was too big to really engage with most of the time.
