Mosquitoes removed in the latest patch

I'm not sure how its being done as far as the technical aspects but Ruud has done a great job as admin upgrading the servers to keep up and anticipating the flow of new users.

The same admin also has experience with a mastadon.world server that experienced lots of growth from Twitter users leaving over musk moves. So essentially we have a good admin as far as I can tell and it's not his first rodeo. Part of the reason I chose this server

Where exactly are these topless streams so I can make sure to uh... avoid them... in the future?

Nice! It's time to buy some games that I'll never end up actually playing

Bobby Fisher punches the computer

Well that was fast

Actually back in the day, my friend's neighbor's second cousin from a different school already did it

People are literally crossing the digital picket line to scab unpaid moderator positions to do free work for admins who are using intimidation tactics against their moderator peers.

Reddit is doomed

I'm staying here on lemmy. I was sensing the quality decline for years and was looking for something else before the recent drama anyway.

Lemmy is the first time I've been excited about the internet in a while and most things people complain about here are non issues to me.

Federation and some fracturing? It's a fail safe feature not a bug. And things will slowly become more centralized over time.

Difficult to grasp conceptually and on board? It's creating a positive barrier to entry keeping smart and persistent people as the ones entering in.

UI and UX issues? The second biggest instance rn lemmy.world was created only 10 days ago! Chill out and be patient! As the community grows in confident we will get all the QoL features we want.

Small community? It's growing so rapidly we're having outages and crashes, people are coming in faster than ever. And your posts will actually be seen and can create real connections with people.

It's an opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help determine what this place will be!

People are looking at it wrong who are complaining imo and if not then they're simply not the people I want to interact with anyway. They can go back to corporate ass ad ridden sites like reddit and continue their mindless scrolling there. I'll be staying here

Don't mind me. Just sitting here talking to myself...

It'll get fixed soon enough it sounds like. But I've been gone browsing by New most of the day and then periodically switching to All->Top of Day

I feel like I was already heavily in the camp of moving on to Lemmy over reddit. But this is so bad on reddit's end. Their last chance for any shred of dignity is gone. I will never go back to reddit

Funny how they can spend 8 panels on just dancing and still be a great comic. Always liked this one

Liminal spaces

It blew me right over here to Lemmy

I've been paying for YouTube premium and have been watching a ton of YouTube for years. But I've been finding myself watching less and less YouTube lately and this might be the push to finally cancel and back away some from the platform.

Don't mind me... just talking to myself...

Try sorting by new. And welcome to the ranks brave soldier
