We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable.

Maybe fix your product before you expect the money to come pouring in.

Wow! I didn't expect something like this from such a big subreddit. I expect the admins will just take it over though.

Depending on how many other subreddits do this, they won't be able to run all of them on their own.

Firefox has always been my go-to. In my opinion more people should use it.

The backlash has surprised me a bit. I agree the price is a bit steep but considering the userbase is only a fraction of what Reddit has, it's understandable that the price would be higher.

I just didn't expect such negative reactions to either the ad component or the price. A lot have mentioned that it could become a form of gatekeeping for newcomers. I just hope it won't turn out that way.

Not surprising because of the strike, but I'm not really interested in the series without Cavill.

I haven't been back to Reddit since I created an account on here a few days ago. I thought I would be going back there regularly to consult my more niche subreddits, but I haven't been back at all.

I'm happy with where Lemmy is right now. So for me it can only get better here. I think I'm 100% done with Reddit.

RIP Sync for Reddit, you were my go-to for the past decade.

Let's all go back to the office to get on Teams/Zoom calls.

I think this occurs because people haven't gotten used to linking to communities on other instances properly.

They usually post the direct link like beehaw.org/c/technology . Instead they should start using the federated link which is more instance agnostic like this: /c/[email protected] . This link will load the community from your instance.

Used for spam. Right. 🙄

I made the jump to Niagara and have enjoyed it so far. I really enjoyed Nova, but there's no going back at this point.

Agreed that most Reddit users don't care about 3rd party apps. They are also more likely just to be lurkers and not interact with the content as much, besides up and downvoting.

So if a larger number of the power users leave, Reddit's content could become more stale and just turn people off from going to the site.

Of course this is all very hypothetical and I don't have stats to back any of this up. It's just a hunch.

Prevent my 2 and 1 year old from killing themselves. Then I watch reruns of Seinfeld.

Beep. Boop. Reddit is great!

Kidding, Lemmy has been pretty awesome and I haven't even felt the need to look back.

My wife confirms the "gross dick" status for Ethan Hawke. She was working as a bartender back in college and he sat at the bad one night. He kept creepily propositioning her.

Doesnt it also have trouble recognizing children as pedestrians? Thought I remembered reading that.

Thanks for offering your knowledge! I successfully set up and instance using their docker installation guide. However I was never able to get the smtp server to work. I first tried to add postfix to the docker-compose file like they have in the ansible installation example on github, but that didn't work. Just trying to add an email address to my account would stall the UI with a spinning animation on the Save button. I then tried to update the hjson config file by adding my sendgrid api credentials and removing postfix from docker compose. That gave me the same result. At that point I kinda gave up and deleted my vps. I don't have access to my error logs anymore, but I can spin up a new vps to try to get the same errors again if needed.

I feel like this could go either way whether it's a boomer opinion or not. Real boomers are not very tech literate and probably don't have much of a notion of online privacy.

On the other hand for those that were adults in the early years of the internet, they likely think we're all giving away too much of our private information.

Hopefully some instances will filter some of that toxicity out. 🤞

My body is ready!

I keep all my movies and tv shows on my custom NAS I built. I use Plex to organize and watch the content. Plex has had issues with colormapping on some 4k HDR movies so I end up picking up both the 4k and 1080p versions of those movies.

I've recently started digitizing old video tapes that I used to record shows and movies on tv. The quality doesn't come close to comparing to today's standards, but I like the nostalgia of it all. Even the old tv commercials are fun to watch. I feel old now...
