I think part of the problem is if you post a lot about lemmy on reddit to recruit, you’ll get banned/shadowbanned eventually.

That’s what Twitter did to Bluesky.

Or even worse, move to Discord :/

reddit got worse faster after IPO.

Discord is now doing the same, so that’ll last a few months lol.

The domain I’m from does a cost breakdown of what it takes to run 1.28k traffic/day as of posting, if you’re curious:

It was heart warming to see my new emulation community see some traffic ^_

I hope it is one day.

So we’re literally old reddit.

Works for me.

He’s another techbro idiot, it’d be more of a sidegrade.

I left after…one of the meme subs last year managed to mass ban bots. Went from one of the most active subs to nearly dead instantly, including upvotes and comments.

That was so disturbing I finally quit.

I think 0.19.9 broke youtube thumbnails, while 0.9.10 fixes it.

There’s a guy on Youtube who crossed the entire length of Africa on foot. Got kidnapped twice IIRC.

Shit. Guess they had a point.

The usual retort I heard is because someone in your extended family probably did take a DNA test at some point they “practically already have yours.” At least that’s what redditors parroted all the time.

I don’t know if it is true, because I thought being a couple steps removed from your parents already renders most hereditary DNA unrelated. But I’m just a layman.

Regardless, it still wouldn’t have been my choice to deliberately self own like that. Just turns me into an unwilling victim instead, much better /s.

I’m curious too if it’s distro specific. I’ll try logging in thru TTY once home. If there’s no solution I’ll have to try Debian or Arch. Unfortunate, I found Fedora to be the best middle ground. KDE matters more to me I guess.

Homepage. That’s where those complaints that people never see a youtuber’s videos “anymore” comes from.

https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions is my Youtube bookmark. It’s just who I’m subscribed to. That’s it.

I just wanted to mention, because apparently only ~7% of us exist who use the Subscriptions feed, according to various Youtubers showing off their stats pages.

New party from scratch would be easier than turning this ugly ship around.

That always helps relations.

The Dude abides.

Memorized.

I’ll shed no tears, even as a NAS owner, once we get equivalent capacity SSD without ruining the bank :P
