iOS lookin more like Android with each release.

Only if beancounters and investors start making administrative decisions.

After seeing other potential alternatives, then seeing how LW and a few other instances took off, credit really goes to protocol devs, fediverse devs/admins, and LW is a standout for the praise you just mentioned as well. It’s a culmination of so many things going right to make such a diverse and expansive community. We’re already seeing the tech question help phenomena that Reddit has right here on LW, where some search engine queries can be magically made better by appending lemmy.

Let the migration continue! I haven’t missed Reddit since coming here.

I think that was understood, and I’m also of the opinion that Facebook is full of shit.

This right here. Apple did a very artful job of making everything available way back when on a unified storefront with “everything”. Netflix did much the same, and for a time it was “everything enough” until each studio decided it was a good idea to make their own storefront. The mistake is that they inadvertently rekindled piracy not so much because of the pricing, but due to the convenience factor. Now the piracy is most convenient because it has it all in one spot. People will pay for content, that’s not the issue. It’s the same old adage as going to the same grocery store that just has all the shit you need so you don’t have to drive all over town.

Also ran afoul with a mod. Merari01 specifically. I reported one of his comments, and he sent it up as abuse of the report button. Insta perma banned. My account was registered in 2010.

Reddit’s been awful for a while though so the loss wasn’t too bad.

You’re splitting hairs about what people call growth when the term is used most commonly to refer to the ROI and the issue with sustainable business. A perfectly sustainable business is viewed unfavorably if it doesn’t generate increased revenue beyond inflation. I.e. a company makes a revenue jump but no “new profits”, it gets sandbagged.

The coop business model says “profits” get returned to member/owners as capital credits. Everyone employed can still do really well, members get value for their money, and investors can go fuck themselves.

We need more co-ops.

Go outside and touch some rhododendrons.

Not shouting into a tornado helps a great deal.

Like several of the other comments that highlight the interest rates, for those of us who saw the late 90’s/early 2000’s tech bubble burst it’s the same thing all over again.

nVidia was very popular as the scrappy upstart during the Riva128 and TNT/TNT2 Ultra days. Their popularity with users was very high at the time. Enshittification really got started with them during the early Geforce days and just spiraled around Geforce 3. When they got their asses spanked by ATI with the R300 series they had to de-shittify for a brief time.

Lemmy has recently gained tons of users of course, primarily people who ditched reddit because it sucks, not were ditched by reddit for sucking. Huge difference there too.

That distinction is huge. Voat also became the haven for jailbait, fatpeoplehate, and other notorious communities.

That is a really good point, and I’m on the same page with you as far as reposting where credit is given. What I’m referring to on the concept of reposts is more akin to something posted by an originating author, which is neglected or ignored, until a high karma user simply reposts it and an engagement algorithm is tuned to float it in the feed based on karma and individual user-influence. The end result is that original content gets discouraged in lieu of limited gatekeepers of the “hive mind” nature of deigning what’s “popular” vs the quality of content sorted by non-karma based metrics, if that makes sense.

To put it another way, it’s just my personal preference after seeing the sheer amount of low effort karma farmers that recycle unoriginal content recently posted who are able to float posts to the top, as opposed to truly original or engaging ideas being encouraged.

That’s for me at least why I’m so turned off to the idea of a user-centric reputation model as opposed to the content quality metrics, that being the individual upvote and downvote trends for each post. There won’t ever be a perfect system, and I’m sure there will be reasons to attack that notion later.

It was key to the early days of Reddit’s success, and the byproducts of this approach have produced effects that many view as a net-negative. Karma farming and copying content overall harmed the quality of content as time went on. While it was initially a successful engagement mechanism, in a more mature environment it will be counter productive, in my opinion.

This would be the opposite of decompression though, air-go-bye-bye and 6,000psi of water rushes in. Still violent as hell though, and would look similar to decompression.

If it burst and imploded let’s say, 1,000 feet down, by the time the pieces all settled that could make a pretty big field given it had 12,000 to go. I don’t know what the rate of descent was but even at 6,000 feet, that’s a wide area to spread the sub’s pieces around.

I mean, regardless of whether they nail the CEO to the wall, he went down with the ship anyway.

This isn’t the case for me, I just tried searching and a 13 day old post by “Cuntwhore2004” titled “Fuck u/spez” is the top result. Their filter might be looking for /u/spez to be fair though.
