old.reddit.com is still kickin it. No talk I've heard of to get rid of it yet. The second it's gone I'm gone.

Isn't it just a competition to see who can talk the fastest? I watched a video of it once and it seemed so dumb. It's like the entire thing is just finding loopholes

I used to be adament about gif with a hard G until I had a coworker insist that sudo was pronounced soodoo rather than pseudo. like yeah, I know it stands for sUpEr uSeR dO but you can never get me to not say it the other way.

Honestly if money has to be a part of it I would rather just pay some instance maintainer a monthly/yearly fee.

I definitely think getting interested in the fediverse is a long game. Think the death of Facebook. It was a slow burn between 2016 and 2020, involving lots of different communities moving at different times for different reasons

Kraft Parmesean Cheese. I can't stant even thinking about it. I've never smelled a dead body but I'm assuming that's what it smells like

I don't know how well lemmy sorts by "level of interaction relative to number of subscribers". For instance on r/all, you'd see a post with 15 upvotes on r/really-specific-thing-from-the-town-i-live-in-with-500-subs right next to a r/askreddit thread with 30k upvotes. In order to see smaller communities, it seems like I have to be on new or hot, but it never seems to make its way up to active.

Do one of those cone things, but have your “shtick” be that you only serve half and half waffle fries and regular fries. Then always put a waffle fry horizontally halfway down the cone so that it looks like it’s full. No one will complain because it’s cool and quirky that you also serve waffle fries, plus it looks big and boisterous that it comes in a huge 20” tall cone.

Really its just devolving into a fascinating experiment in how much momentum it requires people to leave a platform en masse in 2023.

Blessed are those that use Array.sort without passing it arguments

I dont know, doesn't like, blocking the entire site to people without twitter accounts count as censorship?

I've seen so many people that want to defederate from Threads because they're scared it will get their personal data somehow. Just goes to show that not a lot of people understand how this technology works yet. The only data threads will see is the stuff you post publicly.

Thanks, this is definitely helpful to newcomers I think

The thumbnail looks like a histogram

Throwing a stuffed fish down the stairs (I think, there's a couple of really early ones)

Well I looked at the meme, and my first thought was "I'm confused" because I didn't get it. So I guess I'm one of the people that were confused.

I like how the farther down you go on the proposals, the more cooked they get

Really? Feels like a graveyard when I log in. I mean everyone over 65 still uses it and there are a lot of weird holdouts but all my friends moved over to instagram, which is so much worse than facebook ever was IMO

Wow I guess I just kind of blocked it out of my memory haha. It for sure was on old in 2017 because old was still new at that point
