Can we please stop building everything around Discord? It has its place as a chat app, but it's become like a web parallel to our own, except owned and operated by a single company. It's an information black hole, completely closed off from the rest of the web, unscrapeable, uncrawlable, unarchiveable, and borderline unsearchable. It has everything that is wrong with the web today. When the company dies, all information in the app dies with it. There's no Internet Archive for Discord.

The people that use old.reddit are a very small minority, and many are likely already here.

Linux needs better multi-monitor support. It's better than it's ever been, but it's still janky and giving black screens on tertiary screens at times.

EDIT: It's funny how the comments are all over the place. "works for me", "it's broken on KDE but works on XFCE", "it's broken on XFCE but works on KDE", etc. I think that's a good sign there are problems with multi-monitor support.

Average Joe doesn't use extensions.

This has strong "student housing in someone's basement" vibes.

Implode the rich.

We need an option to block pornographic communities, but still see non-porn NSFW content. Blocking all NSFW is too broad and will block other content.

School's just starting. It won't hit the peak of hype without some huge new features or improvements, but it'll rise again.

We have confirmation of bears shitting in the woods.

The survey form eats more RAM the longer it's open until it becomes unusable.

I miss when PC games had flaps on the box, and they'd be full of screenshots and art from the game.

ChatGPT is most useful when you may not know the right answer, but you know a wrong answer when you see one. It's very useful for technical issues. Much quicker for troubleshooting than searching page after page for a solution.

I'm pretty sure they only do this if you have 0 games and haven't logged in for a very long time. If you own even 1 game, you're safe.

Of course it's the one instance where I accidentally capitalized my username and can't change it to a lower case letter.

I like kbin, but it's missing a few QoL features like collapsing comments and viewing "context" of a reply. To expand on the latter, when someone replies to a comment on both Reddit and Lemmy you can click a "context" link to view your original comment and all child comments. Currently it doesn't seem as easy to view your comment and all replies to it on kbin.

I exclusively browse "All" and block communities I don't want to see. I haven't found enough I want to sub to, and those I have subbed to don't have enough content.

Lithuania seems nice. EU & NATO member, and one of the few countries that recognize Taiwan.

If you want an instance that almost definitely won't go under, sdf.org has existed since 1986 1987 and has an instance at lemmy.sdf.org
