Alternative rock project with lots of orchestral and industrial flair. Benevolent troll.
Same here. I’m not installing the terrible official Reddit app and thankfully the hockey news season has mostly slowed down. It’s really the only thing I miss from Reddit are Hockey/Red Wings community. I’ve been really happy with Lemmy’s growth otherwise and the apps get better every day.
So ridiculous.
If I could give this comment an award, I would.
Just seconding this - it seems like it’s just never enough for these companies or owners. It can be a solid, steadily growing thing and yet that expectation isn’t high enough. Eventually it must always be ramped up to constant obnoxious extremes. Speaking to the author’s point, there’s just never enough. Every space must eventually be consumed by this awful mentality and worldview until what makes it worthwhile is eradicated. It just sucks.
Yes but I also feel like the general trend is upward right now. I’ve been excited to watch the kids play and see who’s coming up next. So it’s not all bad… But no, none of the kids are Datsyukian.
Same for me. It reminds me of what I used to love about the internet.
I also enjoy Datsyuk.
Agreed. I feel bad as someone who advocated for the adoption of this technology for many years only to see the shit show that it has become. It’s terrible as it is and I think some of this return to smaller communities will humanize things a bit more and that definitely seems to be happening with what I’ve seen so far.
It may not be “prime time” but obviously the increased attention and user base will incentivize the tech and hosts to catch up quickly. From what people are saying, it has already been a dramatic change in the past few weeks.
I was thinking today that it’s actually weirder that I stuck with Reddit for so long without really thinking about it when I was consistently switching platforms before. Google Reader, Fark, StumbleUpon, bulletin boards, various smaller blogs and stuff…
Now that I’ve made the switch it reminded me how nice it can be to find and explore new platforms and communities. Kinda wished I woke up a bit earlier to these possibilities.
He was implementing regional pricing this morning and looks like that should be happening today and tomorrow. I think that’s part of the reason so many people love Sync since the dev is ultra responsive.
