Personally, I don't even want Lemmy/kbin to become Reddit 2.0.

Reddit from 10 years ago is the goal for me. Reddit has become far, far too bloated for its own good, and that line was crossed a long time ago IMO. Let's just enjoy what we have. Let all the normies stay on Reddit, the people I wanna vibe with are here already.

Google isn't going anywhere. We are the minority. People who know what "open source" even means are the minority. The vast majority of people will just put up with it because they don't know any better. You are highly highly overestimating the tech literacy (and motivation level) of the average person.

Do you realize who tweeted that? Because I feel like asking Bernie Sanders to just "do it" is very unfair. He's been fucking trying for the past decade.

Out of curiosity can you define "no boring intrusive story"? Because personally I'm big on storylines, so if they nail that part then that takes the game to a whole other level

Should should should should should

Nothing works within our government anymore.

Lemmying from Sync right now and it brings a tear to my eye. I don't think anything other than Sync would have made Lemmy feel "right" to me. And now it does.

Yeah, but again that's not on Bernie. If we had more Bernies things would be different, but he's literally trying to roll that rock up the mountain like goddamn Sisyphus by himself.

Idk. I just feel like your comment is ungrateful for his efforts. He's an old man who deserves a rest from all this futility, but I get the feeling that he won't stop trying to effect change until he dies or is too physically/mentally infirm to continue.

Yep! My sentiments exactly. My favorite app is back and I couldn't be more thankful. Sync was that missing puzzle piece that has completed the Lemmy experience for me. The rest is just gonna be gravy now!

They literally tell you when you go through setup.

Why, more money of course.

Give me a prime membership that's just for shipping. Cut the video out of the deal and stop including it in my charge kthx

The only problem I have with that is the notion that a company gets to consolidate funds that were previously going to an actual real person. Now, if we could rely on big business to pass on those savings to their customers and employees, that would be one thing. But we can't.

Before finding Lemmy and kbin, if 3P App devs had announced that they were gonna make a Reddit competitor I would have been the first to jump

You're proud of this, but you missed out. There truly was a golden age where it was easier to pay $8 for streaming and everyone was happy. Good for you for being Nostradamus and everything, but there was a good ~8 years there where you really could have enjoyed the ride if you wanted.

Being able to control 4 seats is so valuable to RBR that I can't imagine anyone offering an amount that RB finds suitable. I think the sister team is here for the long haul.

That may also just be a resources issue. Too many tickets, not enough reps, and the expectation of low average handle time are not exactly conducive to encouraging those deeper dives.

Brain dead is such an understatement too. They lost everyone's trust, and I'm not sure there's anything they can say to regain it. They're gonna try something like this again at some point, and I don't think anyone should give them the opportunity. They deserve to go under.

So, in a little over a year everyone in the USA will be shot? 875K people are shot daily?

If you're comparing China/Taiwan circumstances to USA/Panama I'm sorry but I cannot call that a critical thought. The only similarity is proximity.

Okay so is anyone going to elaborate, or..?
