The official reddit app is not even supported on my device.
Can we please stop with all the posts about reddit? Jesus christ you guys it's a website, not your crazy ex. Lemmy is never going to surpass reddit in popularity when the only thing on the frontpage besides beans is "reddit this, reddit that".

Scrooge.
I'm so fucking sick of all these billionaires "pledging" their fortunes. "I promise to donate all my wealth when I die" then fucking do it you cowards, die already.

Totally immersion breaking
The story takes place in Britain and the vast majority of the characters barely, if at all, know what Football(aka Soccer) is. Mr. Weasley the muggle "expert" doesn't know what a rubber duck is for. They're not gonna know shit about some American muggle sport.

I said what I said.
Honestly. I was setup and subscribed to some initial communities within 2 hours of RIF going down. Literally my only complaint at this point is the relative lack of content.

This. The war that culminated in Saurons initial defeat was literally called the "War of the last alliance".

Has Reddit’s traffic really quadrupled in 6 months?
As someone who still semi-frequents reddit, it's mostly bots, more and more of which are clearly using some form of ChatGPT or another LLM. It's actually kinda absurd, I've seen many a comment chains where it's just different bots replying to each other, both pretending to be real people.

Prosecutors Refuse to Drop Charges Against Texas 11-Year-Old Put in Solitary Confinement

The DA and Principal are likely related, same last name. I'd bet this isn't the only incident between these two, with the principal setting up the targets and the DA knocking them down.

YouTube app has a memory leak
Unironically: oh shit, for real? Like, actual MS.Paint, not that Paint 3D shit?

Damn... The Bard did him dirty.

It was powerful but non-specific. That's an anxiety everyone can have, so while the intended target just immediately got destroyed, everyone else has to make a save to avoid becoming affected themselves.

Honestly it's probably mostly immigrants on a work visa and people who haven't found another job and can't afford to quit without something lined up. Sure, some of them are still there because they're Elon stans, but I don't think even they would last long without extenuating circumstances.

reddit r/movies isn't doing too well
Reply in thread
And even then, all of those websites still technically exist, in some form at least. They died, but they're not dead.
A lot of people seemed to expect reddits crash and burn to eventually shutter the service entirely, but even if every single major content creator left the bots would keep things running semi-smoothly for the less engaged users for probably years to come.

queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban
Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be picking domains based on stuff like "hehe it says queer as fuck lul"? What did they expect to happen picking Afghanistan of all places for the domain of an LGBT instance?

Anon helps with his gf's vaping addiction
And then the gf decides she wants to try a new flavor, buys her "normal" nic strength, and fills her vape up with it before anon has a chance to dilute it.

The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL.
Reply in thread
No, the NSFL tag is more important imo. I don't mind seeing tits randomly, I do not wanna see gore ever, period.

Microsoft - keep your filthy hands off Valve, leak shows MSFT would buy Valve
Hasn't GabeN said on record that he would dissolve Valve before even considering selling it?
I wouldn't be worried, in the same leak they expressed hopes of buying fucking Nintendo. Antitrust regulators would have a fucking field day.

Greta Thunberg found guilty of failing to obey police at climate protest
Reply in thread
No, but there are tons of people who believe something is moral as long as it's legal, and even more people who believe something being illegal makes it inherently immoral.

Nikki Haley: Texas has the right to secede from the United States if it wants to
Reply in thread
I mean, for it to be an equal trade, Texas has to remain at least a US territory. So Puerto Rico gets Statehood, and Texas keeps most of the downsides of Federal control while losing most of the benefits.
I see this as an absolute win.

'whites only' job posting
Reply in thread
It's not a valid question at all. "Are you legally able to work in the United States" has been a question on literally every single job application I've ever filled out. There's zero valid reasons for the interviewer to not know the answer already, and even less than zero valid reasons for them to phrase the question the way they did.

Norway, Ireland and Spain recognize a Palestinian state in a historic move
Reply in thread
Yep r/worldnews went from condemning Russia for their war crimes on Ukraine to damn near universally praising and supporting Israel's war crimes on Palestine.
Sadly, I don't think it's all bots and propagandists. A lot of them are real people that really do have that level of cognitive dissonance.
