Google is getting a lot worse because of the Reddit blackouts
Had this happen today. Was searching for some programming related stuff and top pages are all inaccessible Reddit posts.

Isn't there something with disco elysium and whoever is profiting off of it now is not the original creators?

Memes on c/Games - yes or no?
The issue I have with memes is that you end up with the same low effort meme posts:
"does anyone remember this forgotten gem? (image of best selling game)"
"When your custom character is in a cutscene"
"You're 12 again, school is over and you're about to play (massively popular game)"
Etc
I feel like maybe there should just be a gaming memes community. For that sort of content.

[HN] Fidelity has cut Reddit valuation to $4.5B from $10B
Reply in thread
An investment firm bought shares of Reddit (and some other privately held tech companies) at a certain value. In this instance they thought Reddit was worth ~$10 billion. This was August 2021. They now think it's only worth about half that. So they're having to update their books to indicate that they don't actually think they're holding $X of Reddit, but actually only about $0.5X of Reddit.

If they think that their API costs were high imagine how expensive paid moderation is.

Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people's issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.

Is Lemmy's growth good and what federation will look like?
I'm one of the new users and I do have to say the fact that I had to jump through less hoops to sign up with .world was a big reason why I signed up there. When you're trying something new the less friction the better to acquire new users. I don't want to write an essay on why I want to get an account. I know we want to minimize bots, but there are other ways to do that than throwing unnecessary road blocks in front of users who are skeptical to join to begin with.

Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?
Reply in thread
The funny thing is on Reddit I was mostly a lurker/content consumer. There was little incentive to actually post because your post or comment was likely to just be drowned out in the absolute torrent of other posts/comments. Here I'm actually able to be heard.

Absolutely. Some exist now, but if you feel passionate about a game you can create a community for it. Someone had to start one on Reddit back in the day, so you can create one here too.

Me too, not too crazy busy yet, but basically that Reddit feel from 10 years ago for me when I started using it.

Used to love flying WestJet. Not anymore, since the pandemic they've gone so downhill. Won't fly them unless I have to and I live in their hub city.

I (27M) fell in love with a girl (20F), she rejected me and I wanted space, now she want's me to continue our friendship
Is this a friendship you want? It sounds like it's upsetting seeing her with someone else. I would say it's time to move on.

I tried the game about 3 years back and it was a glitch filled mess. How are you finding it now?
