Except they’ve already attempted this against much bigger fries, and lost. The precedence goes the other way.

If you think Lemmy is even on their radar when reddit still hosts much bigger communities having all the same conversations, you’re crazy. I would bet they don’t even know we exist yet.

The troll responsible for this is from another instance, and has been demanding that all other big instances do this. Maybe take it up with them?

Hating Empress is ableist.

Being anti-piracy is transphobic.

None of that is even remotely true, but go off. The idea that anyone thinks that the largest corporations in the world crammed through the DMCA with protecting minorities in mind is truly laughable.

You’re missing Voyager and Lemmios.

Whoa, you rule for putting in this much effort for one of these, even though the nested threads get insane and unreadable on mobile currently, I hope there’s a future in putting this much effort in.

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.

Yes, but also no.

At the end of a r/Place event the palette changes, and you can only place white pixels.

So yes, you could use a bot to write it again; but no, in reality you wouldn’t be writing anything.

You’re forgetting misfires can happen soon after ejaculation (and probably other things).

Everyone who left reddit or significantly reduced their time on reddit returning to constantly refresh a page advertisers won’t see that says “fuck spez” is helping to boost Reddit’s numbers. This isn’t just about whatever number of people left reddit for Lemmy.

You’re just driving up traffic and engagement on reddit, at a time when Huffman desperately needs to convince advertisers that reddit still has a lot of traffic. It’s saving the company financially.

So yeah, not a great protest.

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.

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.

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.
