Reddit is a publicly traded company now so they must have infinite (read: unsustainable) growth to their Shareholders®. This means that what you’re seeing now is a trend that’s only going to get worse. Their entire app is designed around the infinite scroll of the Meta clones, that’s incentivized to show as many ads as they can between posts.

They can probably make it worse, like popup ads when clicking on a thread. If they’re trying to chase advertisers to the maximum then it could be as bad as those free mobile games. Maybe that’ll make people leave Reddit lol.

Is that how babby formed

Microsoft really should have just leaned into it and named it Clippy again.

Definitely the best use of AI here. Besides Trump licking Elon’s feet of course. How embarrassing for him!

We need more funding for RGB lit components for our programmers since this will make them better programmers

First I have to drink a verification can, and now this??!!

It’s a load-bearing function.

We have no idea why it’s important, just that it is critical to everything functioning.

Bias-motivated? This is the first time I’ve heard that term used. Why isn’t it just called a hate crime? It appears to be one since the perpetrator was targeting the reporter either because he’s a Pacific Islander American or that he’s a journalist, an “enemy of the people” in Trump’s America.

Shove it in there lol

Mmm yes. Unexplained issues that have a single mention in StackOverflow five years ago, have a single reply by the author just saying “nvm I figured it out” and doesn’t explain the resolution.

It’s time for chbottomt and clbottom to finally become valid HTML statements.

I still like to call it Twitter in the extraordinarily unlikely event that Elon sees this post and gets triggered over it.

Another of Elon Musk’s kids?

WRONG, PRIVATE!

Now drop and give me int(ceil(19.9))!

The thing I find most perplexing about those communities is that although they themselves support marginalized communities, they also defend highly authoritarian regimes (Russia, China) that actively persecute said groups. It’s very strange to see that horseshoe wrap-around effect where at times they have the same things in common with the right wing but for entirely different reasons.

Lemmy is good but very, very small in comparison to Reddit.

For example, /r/mildyinteresting has 286k subscribers. Lemmy has around 51k active users across the entire platform and all of it’s communities. And /r/mildyinteresting is a misspelling of the even more popular /r/mildlyinteresting (23.4 million subscribers).

Even some of the niche gaming communities are larger on Reddit (/r/Kenshi, 145k; /r/factorio, 370k).

However, the small community feel is much more pronounced here on the federated Lemmy servers. You’ll see the same names pop up so everyone isn’t a complete stranger. Third party app support is miles ahead of Reddit’s crappy app. And if you don’t like your instance for any reason you can hop to another one easily.

You’ll see certain trends on trending communities here. There’s a lot more posts on Linux, Star Trek, and Tech news that isn’t as pronounced on Reddit unless you subscribe specifically to them. The meme community is top notch though and doesn’t have the incel and misogyny issues that plague Reddit.

Is that bird from Palestine?

I’m 100% sure Baby Yoda was specifically created to sell merchandise.

In the amount/2 term?
