Hey @ernest, I bought you a couple of coffees from your About page link and I've invited others to do the same. But is that enough? How do you handle all this traffic? Is buymeacoffe.com your only revenue source for this project? Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you for your frequent updates and open dialogue.

Oh no, you should never toss any flammable which makes fumes on a fire. Stick to slow burning liquids like Diesel or fire starter liquids. No gazoline or ethanol. Very dangerous.

"No money" well, there can be some if you donate to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin as per the About page at the bottom of the page.

Nope, just drinking coffee.

Yeah and then their employees have to work almost 24/7 and sleep under their desk or get evicted from their workplace.

The buymeacoffee link can be found in the About page at the bottom of the page.

There is a link to buymeeacoffee.com on the About page at the bottom.

I've been on the Internet since I was 15 so in 1995. I was on ICQ, Usenet and other old technologies. Internet sure has changed a lot since. But I'm excited to be part of the fediverse, it is still in its infancy but I think it will become big. Hopefully not big enough to get riddled with adds or get bought by google or others.

Why Reddit Is Destined to Turn to Crap

Well, the question is not really "why" but "when". All big websites will eventually turn to crap, look a digg.com or even yahhoo.com or if you're old enough altavista.com just for a few examples.

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!

(and if you like Seinfeld join https://kbin.social/m/Seinfeld)

While I agree with the message, they may be a few exceptions. A g-string for example is hard to use for a male. But that's just me.

Why not go private? alpharatio, mac-torrents, myanonamouse, PTP, BTN, RED, there are plenty of options.

Yeah I guess I'm old, I've been on those for 10+ years and didn't realise they don't allow new members. My bad (no irony, I am actually 42 years old).

I thell you hwhatt, this is dang ol funny

I think a lot will change but I agree with you for the site staying relevant for many more years. It will just not be as good as it once was (and I say that with a 14 years old reddit account). It has been slowly going down for a long time, now there is a quick mini downfall but business will continue as usual until thy've squished all the money they could get out of it. And then it dies.

Maybe you just said that by coincidence but I created a community for #SouthPark here: https://kbin.social/m/SouthPark

If you like the show please don't hesitate to suscribe.

lasts up to 30s

They used to spin forever until I decided to hit the reload button. But yeah, it's getting much better now.

Yep, I feel like I'm 20 again (born in 1980, been through BBS, dialup, ADSL, cable, altavista.com and many other things)

It's late where I am. I'm still laughing though, thank you very much :-D

Lemmy is the Reddit like portion of the fediverse.

Don't forget about #kbin which has both "reddit subs like" functions (magazines) and "twitter like" functions (microblogs). And all are linked to lemmy and mastondon instances, or whatever else in the fediverse.
