I was convinced OP had made a typo.

If the admin are in cahoots with the crypto mining douchebag, then no part of the site is safe.

You’re missing Voyager and Lemmios.

Until the next big social media fuck up, which neither Spez nor Musk can stop themselves from making.

You’re just here early, and the platform still needs work. It hasn’t even hit 1.0 yet.

So when does Kevin Costner get to sue James Cameron for his lazy copy of Dances With Wolves?

I think we’re going to be seeing new waves of Reddit users on a fairly regular basis. Steve Huffman likes to roll these things out slowly in drips and drops, and it is very unlikely that this move alone will make reddit significantly more profitable to run. If he wants to do an IPO soon then he’s going to need to make some more choices that really annoy the users (banning porn seems like an obvious one, even though he’s said something like he’s fighting to keep porn on reddit). They’re going to keep cracking down in dumb and obvious ways on things and redditors will abandon ship just as soon as something they care about gets in some way messed with.

Don’t forget that redditors have left reddit in large chunks dozens of times in the past.

Text based social media will never work. I don’t want to hear your thoughts, I just want to see you dance.

But you can block whatever communities you want. I’ve blocked a lot of different communities that have content I don’t like, and now they’re not in my feed.

I still want better content sorting options, though. I don’t want to have to block a subset of content just so that I can see a different subset. Like sometimes I want a meme, sometimes I want to see what’s going on in the world. There are dozens of communities for each of those.

I joined because I still want the same content without the asshole owner. I’m here for the different power structure, not because I hated Reddit’s content.

Because this is donation-funded. Having a big audience is the only thing that can ensure financial stability long term.?

And I don’t think content that is funny rather than informative is inherently bad or less important. There’s nothing wrong with this place being fun and not just some stuffy content classroom.

Right now those communities are more important than ever. They are what’s going to bring more people here and grow the fediverse. I don’t want to start hiding popular content at a time when Lemmy most needs to be popular.

Everyone’s definition of bottom of the barrel will be different, and nobody’s personal content preferences should be forced on the community as a whole. If you really dislike those communities that much you can block them.

I think there are better ways to highlight smaller communities and grow them more organically, like a community dedicated to new and small communities (sorry if I fucked up that link, I’m new here) could highlight a new community each day worthy of our attention. Reddit used to have a subreddit of the day.

Right now the number one thing federated social media needs is just more users. I worry they’ll feel discouraged if they stop seeing the content that gets the most upvotes right now.

The losses were spurred by a Wall Street Journal investigation into lead-sheathed cables installed by phone companies across the US many decades ago.

The industry started phasing out lead in the 1950s, but the WSJ said it found evidence of more than 2,000 lead-covered cables and said there “are likely far more throughout the country.”

Fan-fucking-tastic. Y’all excited to bail out the telcos again?

Idk it seems like a problem that will sort itself out as Lemmy grows, and artificially limiting how many posts from a community can reach the front page seems like a suboptimal solution that’s going to have unintended consequences down the line.

What I really miss from reddit is multireddits, something that Lemmy could seriously benefit from when there are multiple competing communities on different instances focusing on the same topics. I really hope some version of that is on the roadmap.

I think this is a case of the people most likely to receive the message being the least likely to need it. At the very least it’s a good twitter thread to keep in your back pocket should you encounter someone complaining that some other RPG doesn’t match up to BG3.
