Man, do I not miss reddit one single fucking bit. I have never once looked back since leaving in the first wave of APImageddon or whatever we’re calling that. Every post I see or article I read just validates that decision.

reddit has always been risky in one way or another. When I first joined in 2013, it was 4chan-risky Now it’s Facebook-risky, which is honestly much more ultimately harmful and nefarious than 4chan-risky, even if 4chan and facebook of today share a lot of the same trolls.

Billionaires want to herd us and all of our communications into these controlled networks for a number of nefarious reasons, but the reason that matters most to you and I right now is that they know that people need to communicate in order to coordinate, in order to stand up to oligarchy. Facebook isn’t going to let people coordinate a general strike on its platform, and neither is reddit, or youtube, or any of these totally captured networks.

We need to own our comms, which means that the fediverse itself isn’t sufficient either.

So say it with me: Meshtastic

You need a cat.

Idiocracy

When I don’t have a password autogen something for me, I am still using a variant of my original autogenerated geocities password from my days on the SunsetStrip. I’ve just buttressed it with additional letters and numbers as password requirements have changed.

There he goes, off to write his hit song, Alone In My Principles.

No one knows.

There is no reason good enough to still be on the Meta hamster wheel in 2025. Facebook, insta, whatever. Get out as fast as you can.

Red meat for the base in desperation.

I cry almost every day.

Is there some kind of spice level:naughtiness correlation?

Solves the Florida problem at least.

It’s crazy how much memes have become like comic strips when you stop and think about it.

We have so much overlap in our gaming habits that the occasional time you played a game I wasn’t familiar with it signified a pretty good chance I’d enjoy it, and that’s borne out so far.

I saw their post earlier today and have been thinking about it off and on since then. This feels like a really big moment for Lemmy. Having watched the updates for a year and now seeing this best-of post… I don’t know how to articulate it but it feels like a real milestone for our whole community.

Either way, many congrats to @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world, and thanks for the great 1 year post. I really enjoyed it.

It is darkly funny, on multiple levels, that thus far the best impediment to the Mechanazis is their own dumb fucking incompetence.

They certainly are not being thwarted by an “opposition” that is cowardly and craven, if not outright complicit.

Well you’re wrong because it smells like Apple Strudel but for reasons that are wholly unrelated to bidet.

Which is why bidet is the only civilized solution.

Toilet paper is for dabbing your little tushy dry, not raking across, and smashing in, loose poopy on your ass.

That smug smirk says it all.

One third of me gave up a whole weekend! If that ain’t love I don’t know WHAT is!

Same here but in hindsight it seems like an obvious oversight.
