I'm very excited to see how this all develops. Right now it's pretty rough and the constant failure to load/comments getting duplicated or disappearing hurts a lot but it does have potential. Let the Lemmy's free!
Get a Japanese washcloth, you animals. It's like a loofah that's been unraveled into a single rough cloth. A bit of body wash or even a bar of soap folded into it and you can hold the ends and scrub your body and back. Gets off all the dead skin and sweat, it's great.
And it's going to be compatible with Titanicus and Aeronautica
Hard to tell at this point, this is extrapolated speculation and shouldn't be taken as statements of fact.
Musk has a policy of fucking around with other people's money and not paying his debts. That works with companies smaller than him, but when Google is hosting a significant amount of Twitter infrastructure they can absolutely pull the plug.
Twitter is suddenly unable to function at the current volume of traffic. They limit access to only logged in users. They fired all their competent engineers so they import a hack job that seems to be CONSTANTLY checking if users are logged in. So much that the website is DDOSing itself from the attempts.
Elon, ever the moronic silver spoon man baby, puts in a nonsense policy of "tiered access" where you can only see a certain amount of tweets per day? Advertisers are obviously pissed off because that's directly cutting their reach and access.
This is correct. Facebook is a fundamentally different site than what most people think. They're taking the Google approach, investing heavily into providing infrastructure for under developed countries. They have subsidiaries like Discover which partners with local internet providers to offer free or discounted internet access. WhatsApp provides an alternative messenger system for regions like SEA or interior India and Pakistan, etc.
Facebook doesn't give a shit that you and your friends don't use it anymore. They're making money off techno-colonizing foreign nations.
Digg still exists even if it's a shell of its former self. Tumbler imploded and moved to Twitter, which is trying its damnedest to destroy itself too. They don't disappear, they just slowly become irrelevant.
Reddit will still exist, but the content will continue to dry out. Sanitized for advertising and low effort for consumption. The thousands of small self contained communities that really drove the site will slowly die off. Subs that relied on outside moderating tools to ensure quality content will give up and move on.
As small hobby subs find new places to take residence I would absolutely believe reddit will become less relevant.
I'm down for a new social media addiction as long as there's a good app for it.
The reddit 3rd party apps are all shutting down and many of them seem to be directing users in this direction so there's probably going to be a big crunch as everyone tries to figure out how tf this site works.
Same. It's been my #1 app for a decade, across multiple devices. I can't delete it.
The fat dragon made my wife lose it. She just kept saying "He looks just like the cat when he smells chicken."
