I shamelessly use Linux Mint with Cinnamon pre-installed. I imagine my experience is closer to the classic Windows experience than Windows 11 right now lol.

You know, I’m something of a superhero myself.

Same tbh

To your point, Seattle had 2 subreddits due to disagreement on moderation lol.

I found out about the the “He gets us” ads from comments, because I only used old w/ ad blocker or a 3p app…

Why spoil a good thing? The protest was basically the best they could do, got tons of attention and media.

Obviously time will tell if this actually is the downturn for Reddit, but belittling their efforts just because they didn’t redirect to Lemmy seems a bit entitled.

100%, this dude was straight up gassing up the suspension, reminding everyone every game that they didn’t want to reveal the suspension to take away from the finals.

In the end it’s 25 games. At least it’s not retroactively applied like the last suspension?

Think of all the man hours wasted on features specifically asked for by users and clients, only to never be used…

It’d be that utopia meme if only users knew what they wanted lol

I honestly don’t understand. Reddit hasn’t ever treated their mods well and will never pay them. I only see upside to going down with the ship lol

Pinterest has around the same amount of MAUs as Reddit with $2.8b revenue…

I don’t think killing 3p apps and eventually old reddit is gonna make the difference.

You can “vote” against Reddit by not using it ;)

I know it’s a meme, but the way I see it is, giving Reddit a click or two won’t really move the needle much.

Really it’s about the long-term. If you’re on the Fediverse creating content and not on Reddit, eventually those search results will stop pointing at Reddit. That’s the real win I think.

Speaking as someone who lives in the US, the reason why people “prefer” it is because it’s embedded into the culture that public transportation is for poor people

You can see that with all the comments talking about how cars are superior because you don’t need to share space with strangers.

If you’re into character progression, and loot, then you’ll love Diablo. The loot system is great and really draws you in to playing more.

The art and ambiance is also amazing, and from what I can tell Resurrected is pretty faithful to the original.

There are some rough parts (like stamina, chugging potions, etc) given the age.

Some of y’all getting angry need to look at yourself in the mirror. The whole point of federation was to allow communities to do things like this if they want.

A lot of new people are going to see this mudslinging and rightfully turn around. Nobody is coming to Lemmy to see drama between instances.

Isn’t the whole point of the fediverse that you get to create and craft your experience for your community? There’s a really good reason defederating is a feature. I don’t get it, Beehaw decides to use the features of federation so now we: firstly become tribalistic (them vs us), and secondly decide to get angry? Like it or not, this is what you signed up for when you wanted federation.

I don’t see the point of getting angry like this, and really don’t see how this negativity being conducive to a thriving community. Some new people are going to explore fediverse, see tribalistic mudslinging among instances, and say “not for me.”

I’d say respect their decision and move on, if it’s not for you it’s not for you.

Off topic but:

I’m a software engineer so I can figure this shit out

I’m also a software engineer, and I love it when other software engineers act like being a software engineer means that they are smart and if they can’t figure it out, then it must be someone else’s fault.

I’ve met other software engineers like this, and sometimes they actually are worse than others at figuring things out.
