Connect for Lemmy has been really good so far, too.

Or, as a market-based solution: TurboTax raised the price for small business returns to about the same as hiring and accountant. So, now I just hire an accountant.
Exactly. How are exactly actors support to “share in failure” as their nonsense quote suggests?
I will ditto what you said. IF you are on Windows, Affinity is fantastic!
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
Creators also need to make money. I doubt Peertube has ad revenue to split with them.
In fairness to YouTube, creators do keep about half the money (in exchange for YouTube hosting the content).
No ads and no user payment?
So… who pays to keep the servers going? Who pays to produce the content?
That stuff is expensive! We’re paying for it somehow.
what’s frustrating is that many of those websites are still there. but when I use Google to try to find them, they don’t show up in the results. not that they are buried on like page five of the results. they literally don’t show up anymore.
That actually sounds pretty good. Especially on a sausage pizza.
Road Guy Rob talks about how highway engineering works in a fun, highly animated way:
Here’s one about a bike lane disaster – where the city screwed up and undid it after a week:
That’s fine. We make a new place.
That’s the beauty of the internet (and similarly, America). We just find a space to talk.
I realized today that maybe all I need is something to scroll and some comments to read.
Sunday, this place felt dead. But each day the traffic seems to pick up and I miss Reddit less and less.
In a few weeks, I won’t miss Reddit at all (at this pace)
But not for me. I’m forever gone.
And if there are enough power users (lots of comments, posts) like me who feel the same, it will have an impact.
There’s a HUGE middle ground between “nothing changes” and “reddit goes out of business.” As we see with Twitter, you can have a zombie platform that persists but slowly loses inertia month after month.
It’s not that Reddit dies abruptly. It’s that the platform is wounded now and, without attention, will bleed out slowly over many years.
Yes… let’s make people return to the most EXPENSIVE cities on the planet.
I know like three tech workers who permanently moved to Appalachia, the Ozarks, etc. They ain’t coming back. They can get another tech job in 3 days or less. So, they’re just going to do that.
This is a GREAT time for smaller companies who’ve been desperate to hire talent. They will be more than happy to accommodate remote work.
I hope lemmings sticks. It’s cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It’s great.
Love the app! Thank you for being RiF’s spiritual successor.
I would have thought so of myself, but yet, here we are
These federated let me things really really remind me of the way Reddit used to be about a decade ago. And frankly, now that I found the Jerboa app, I really don’t miss Reddit at all.
I just wanted to find a place where I could scroll around and chat with other nerds. And that’s basically what Lemmy is.
Quora, basically.
I don’t think I’ve ever successfully read one of those, because Google brings me to the site and then it demands I log in. They even go so far as to blur all the content. It’s really really stupid.
It sure seems like half the herd has wandered off.
I dream that one day there is a RiF for Lemmy. But alas, he’s building an app for tildes.
