Well, here you have a company that fires their CEO for going too much in the direction of earning money.
Yeah, honestly, that’s music to my ears. Imagine a world where organizations weren’t in the business of pursuing capital at any cost.

yeah, I use my start button all the time to quickly open stuff. Hit start, start typing the program name, hit enter because it shows up immediately as a suggestion. super quick with no need to touch the mouse
How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
I just use both now, honestly. I don’t really use the big subreddits because the users and quality of conversation feel like they’re actively making me dumber… but there are smaller niche communities that don’t really have a viable non-reddit alternative yet, and I’m not willing to let one greedy man force me to give up on a part of my life that I really enjoy.
Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope
if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way
I’m OOTL and I think I’ll just sit this out.
I’m fully in the loop and it still just makes me think of omg sO teh r4nd0m!! memes from 2005
like, maybe we’ll revisit ragecomics next lol
because we’re taking the internet back to 2003 and that includes omg teh random posts being funny again *holds up spork*
yeah, I had some ones set up like months out, it was always fun getting those random reminders. There’s a similar bot on discord, at least
You can subscribe to kbin “magazines” just like communities from other federated lemmy instances too, so you can view them all through lemmy.world or whichever instance you’re on
Here’s a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user’s profile… I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^
I voted for no memes, and I’m really glad we got that, but one thing I want to mention is that it’d be good to have a /c/gamingmemes or something to redirect people to, rather than just a closed “no memes here”. There’s definitely an appetite for that content, and it seems gentler if there’s another community they can be directed to.
(I thought about creating it myself but I’ve never really liked gaming meme pages, so I don’t think I’d be good at hosting one 😅)
and now they’re advertising stuff like subscription tiers and server shops, which makes me feel like they’re using a completely different service than I am
well, they hired thousands of devs in the last few years, only to direct their efforts to self-hosting videos, chat features, customizable snoo avatars you can sell NFTs for, etc. (you know, things people wanted)
so I can understand the loss potentially growing in recent years, given what they’ve been spending on
largest tech community in the fediverse
TIL. I assumed between lemmy.world, programming.dev, infosec.pub I’d had my tech feed basically covered
I miss GirlGamers, honestly. It was such a refreshing perspective compared to the constantly angry/circlejerky dudebro vibe of 90% of gaming communities
oh, that’s really neat. thanks for the link!
yeah, agreed, I’d love something like that for the fediverse. Honestly, it feels like accessing various communities from different instances would actually feel more natural with it all being fed through the terminal for some reason.
Sorry, not an answer to your question, but what’s rtv?
3 is the biggest thing about pivoting more towards Lemmy / traditional forums for me. It’s been really nice feeling like I’m not drowning in a sea of trite idiocy and unempathetic rage every time I open a comment section. It’s genuinely refreshing to feel like I’m actually engaging with normal people again.
It is tech news, but I get you. It’s hard to find a place with news about actual technological innovations, advances, updates etc rather than the machinations of the corporations involved. I completely understand the relevance, but it’s often not the sort of genuinely interesting read you’re looking for.
