Its been weird, I feel like I’m kind of missing something, same kind of FOMO, but when I actually go back to it I see I’m not missing anything at all. Lemmy is pretty neat, but haven’t fully gotten the hang of it yet. Just discovered how to sub another instance today, so progress is being made.
I’ve been back to reddit probably 20 times in the past 3 months, and every time I’m waiting for the dopamine hit, and it never kicks in. Its just flat now, the content just isn’t that interesting. Its all pretty cringy, and I’m pretty much over it, just going there out of habit, chasing the content dragon that no longer exists.
Facebook is useless, Xitter is dead, reddit lost its way. I’m enjoying Lemmy so far, but it seems to be missing the viral content, ultra red-hot breaking news that reddit used to have.

Digg was the peak of the internet as far as I’m concerned, its gone downhill ever since
Lets kill off the damned cookie popups. Nobody cares, its literally the most useless 5 seconds of every persons life to have to dismiss and never read what it says
Mr. Burns:
Excellent
Doubly satisfying that he was Donnie’s pick
Sums up internet articles in 2023, 95% of which could be less than a paragraph, but need to fluff it up to 6 pages to inlay some ads and get those juicy organic clicks
Using the machines to fight the machines, well done
You got a whole brand name lifesaver? Are they hiring? /s
The tl;dr seems to be this was a money losing account for Cloudflare, and they couldn’t squeeze them so they weaseled out with some TOS violation to prevent losing money on what was promised to be unlimited traffic, they have better lawyers so they’re not worried.
Cloudflare 100% in the wrong here, they are closing accounts for TOS violations when they are just unprofitable, I would very strongly consider how tightly to couple with them knowing how cavalier they are about squashing small businesses.
If enough of these happen though, they’ll get destroyed by a class action lawsuit, and they’d deserve every bit of it
