Crypto Bros Losers would be really mad at reading that, if they weren’t busy fellating the owners of BoredApes after they made them blind.

…

What? No, that’s not a joke.

“Had a good time with the homies who also got their eyes burned”. These people are unbelievably down there in the pathetic human scale.

Remember how they took gold awards, a user made bot, and monetized it?

Firefox did the same.

And I actually love it.

You’re saying this… On Lemmy. You do know we have three different “trending” settings here, right?

I honestly much prefer the idea of a chronological feed too, but disagree that’s what kills a platform. Tumblr has both the chronological and the trending for you/for all, and it was also ignored.

There goes the largest no stupid questions community. Bah. They’ll be back in a day or two, I know, but bah.

I think this is the perfect opportunity to plug to everyone the concept of password managers and other basic web security concepts.

There’s a video that shows exactly this phenomenon in real time.

The most important people are the first followers. A website with a guy commenting alone is sad for the guy. A website with a couple people commenting is sad for whoever’s not talking.

Same thing for every single-game community. Dota’s deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.

/r/Piracy

That’s not the real games piracy sub anyways. The true successor of the scene-watching community is and always was /r/CrackWatch and even there people are very aware that they’re not contributors, just spectators. So basically, it was a place for movies piracy, and movies piracy is and always been the most piss easy, top result on google piracy around. I haven’t gone on a single website to pirate movies in a decade, shit is all searchable either directly on qBit and deluge or on tracker tools.

They don’t want to come over, so what? They’re irrelevant. A wiki service reddit, barely anything else. A place for people who unironically install uTorrent and don’t even know what the u stands for.

I think there won’t be an immediate rush, but I do think there will be a sporadic sine wave of people checking out the place. Funny enough the best thing people can do is hold off posting memes and then doing it on the 1st of July for maximum engagement.

It’s okay babe, happens to a lot of men.

Oh shit I only get one opportunity to say something witty and I just wasted

So… A typical compass meme.

This is the weirdly unlearnable realization that’s going to hit third party app reddit users in 6 or so weeks. Because Reddit will just truck along unchanged.

I haven’t played a Blizzard game or touched anything even close to related to Battle Net in years. I did my part. In 30 years Blizzard will still be there, and I’ll have had no impact, but that won’t make me regret a thing. It was just some video games that I’ll have missed out on. I’m already missing out on video games as is, every single person is, and time will only increase the amount. Blizzard isn’t and will never be worth being “the ones” at the top of that mindspace.

Hm ehh umm aktually 🤓 ☝️ you should have said “in geometry”

Purge? Is this about the porn ban, or something else?

My thoughts:

404: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site

I think the server may be struggling a bit under everyone checking it out.
