I love how the 3 kids are basically Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

Yeah it was the diver thing that made me realize he was an egomaniac. A loud egomaniac.

they announced they were going to start paying people for content

I must have missed this. Do you have a link?

Spoken like someone who has never won over a cat. Cats are absolutely capable of affection and have preferred humans, they just don’t give it out for cheap.

Oh gawd, this takes me back to the cute little X10 Mini Pro I had. Such a handy little device for the time, had a slide out keyboard. I miss those.

Vancouver!

You guys underestimate the amount of abuse that people who have nothing else are willing to go through.

Just leaving additional peer pressure here. WE WANT PICS!

I’m a creator on certain instances and participator/lurker in some others. I’m mostly posting events happening in my city. Discussion is sparse right now but I figure it’s better to have sparse conversation than NO conversation.

I initially had the same lament, but since we’re early adopters of this tech, it really is on us to build the communities here. If you want to discuss something, just post a thread. Even if no one replies right away, as people start coming they will start engaging with posts that are already there.

Right on man. My last comment on R3dd!t told people the amount of time they spent figuring out how to still use 3rd party apps, they can direct that effort into learning how to participate in the Fediverse. Got a hundred-ish downvotes so that means a hundred people now know Lemmy exists.

Ah, but it can be. WE are literally the community builders here. Beehaw is not part of our community so just look and post at lemmy.world, or lemmy.ml, or lemmy.ca, or sh.itjust.works, or any other instance. To me, this is literally why this YSK post exists - to let people know to focus on conversations outside of that instance.

I guess that’s where our opinions differ. Seems like it should be just a blip when someone wants to take their ball and go home. Just choose another ball, man.

What do you think their point was, then? 🤔

Oh, I guess I took “Black Mirror” literally, as in at the end of the episode and the TV is blank, it’s just me (and maybe whoever I’m watching with) looking into this black reflective screen and I’m staring back at me. Like, what I just watched is a figurative reflection of me and I, as a human being, am capable of being as cruel and disgusting and angry as the characters in each story. The only difference is not because it’s fiction, it’s because I’ve never been put into a desperate enough situation to truly test that theory.

Well, except for the mom in

She can go get fucked in hell by hitler with a pineapple.

So I don’t understand your mentality here. What do the people hosting servers as a hobby owe former R3dd!t users to make their migration easier??? Seems entitled to think people who are literally paying out of their own pockets right now for people like us to talk to each other owe us even more. Geez.

Buuuuuuuuddy… come on.

although she once said months ago that she wanted to be friends

Sorry man, this is totally and definitely the way an 18 year old breaks up with another teenager. This was LD and you never met in person and had no plans to close the gap? I know it seems like a very real relationship to you right now, but I guarantee you that once you meet someone else and in person, this will be a very distant memory. You’re going to look at this in 5 years and cringe at the amount of effort you put into writing a post about someone who ultimately doesn’t matter.
