Good ole republican mega donors destroying the world one step at a time.

What a load of crap, no information about what models they run on. I bet they are just a series of if else’s. If we let some unrefined transformers Duke it out I might be interested.

Wireless power sharing makes it worth it to me. It’s not helpful often but being able to charge someones phone in a pinch has saved my ass a few times.

Okay I’m convinced, we live in a simulation. No way this isn’t alien reality tv.

I’m curious if an app that works on top of the protocol is possible so that it could use accounts from both kbin and Lemmy.

Thank God the conservative supreme court rolled back what little we had to murder extra women in the name of a ball of cells!

A good point, but honestly I think it barely matters compared to the fact you can barely use the home page right now.

What phone are you using? Both apple and Samsung have made their devices borderline impossible to swap the battery out. They will then charge you an arm and a leg for sometime that used to be an easy swap.

I honestly picked this one purely because it was performant on the day I switched from Reddit. Thankfully I’ve ended out really liking the direction it’s going in too. I wouldn’t be too worried about picking the right instance, just look for one you generally agree with the moderation and pick it. You can always switch to another one or have multiple accounts.

I wholeheartedly agree, supporting non taco Tuesday instances is a good way to destroy Lemmy

When I first read about the defederation I had a knee jerk angry response but after thinking about it I really feel like it makes sense for them. They want to have a heavily moderated space and it’s hard to do that when you integrate with the other communities. It seems to me they have a level head and are approaching this carefully. I hope that they end out being in the minority but I can understand having a few relatively solitary groups with a focused goal.

Keep doing what your doing! It’s in the name, it’s gonna just work. I don’t wanna read their garbage and I like how your running the place. Keep up the great work and thanks for the performant Lemmy instance :)

I would aim to find a healthy way to use Lemmy instead. Given you said you usually only follow it I might make an argument that there is just a massive it event currently Happening on Lemmy. As such your following it. I don’t know that going back to Reddit will make much of a difference to you if you already have those habits. Try to limit your social media use and find a healthy way to interact with social media.

Private companies absolutely can, what sucks is alot of owners are looking for a public exit so they can make a ton of money and step away from the company. Valve is a great example of a private company happy to sit back and rake in cash. They have no plans to go public and can continue slowly improving their product because of it.

I’m also curious which will see more development. Kbin has a lower bar to entry because it’s PHP but I imagine there are others that have no interest in touching PHP unless I’m being paid for it. I’d have to learn Rust to help with Lemmy but I have heard really good things about it so I’m considering it.

Public companies are legally required to always do their best to grow year over year. Eventually these companies get so large they can’t realistically get more market share so they have to figure out how to make more money from their users. This leads to them squeezing users for cash in the hunt for short term gains because they’ve already realistically capped out on how much money they can make per year. It’s a dumb system that can’t work in the long term.

I know, it’s disgusting. I had an argument with a friend saying that all companies are greedy so why would you expect reddit to be different… I mean yeah if you just let them walk all over you that’s what’s gonna happen.

Idk if I want to get back to a post I’ll usually do it through my own comments. When I’m looking at my feed I want new posts.

It’s definitely possible, I’ve been shifting to more PvE and single player games. I’m finishing up atomic heart right now and I really like it. I’d also absolutely recommend trying to join a company in the outdoor industry. It’s insane what counts as outdoor equipment. Besides the normal stuff grills, smokers and for some reason crocks count. Most of the time it’s 30-45% off.

Nice! I’m a dev too, I’m a gamer and I’d previously been a gymnast so I didn’t have much time / respect yet for the outdoors. I recently signed on with a company in the outdoor industry doing devops and I’ve been taking advantage of my industry discount and picking up more outdoor hobbies. I definitely still like video games but I’ve found they just make me mad recently. I’m really enjoying spending more time outside and having other things to do in my free time.
