For one, it’s six seven, not sixty-seven. That’s the first trip up.
As for the second, assuming I understand correctly: It literally means nothing. It’s just a thing to say. And it’s funny when adults are baffled and can’t understand.
I did see someone point out that six times seven equals fourty-two. Which is neat.
This is what I believed. And I tried to trick the game by doing movements and inputs no one could have planed. Never outdid that planning somehow. They were on to me!
I knew that new “no upvoting ‘violent’ content thing sounded sus. It reeked of trying to silence support for Luigi.
I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.
I dislike video game achievements for this also.
If you’re playing a game just to fill a checklist so you can be done with it, why are you even playing?
If the game is so boring that you want to get it over with and move to the next checklist, then just… play a different game that you actually enjoy playing?
They cannot make me download their shit app, and when old.reddit dies then that’s when I stop going even my current once a month.
“We are selective about who we work with and trust with large-scale access to Reddit content.”
Sells everyone’s contributions to Google while blocking lesser evils
I’ll trash on greedy Steve Huffman any day.
But in this particular case, we really need everyone we can get. If Reddit helps convince more people to vote (for Biden), then so be it.
Not a time to be picky about allies. Not when Trump has a good chance to become effectively the King of the USA.
Making info on Reddit useless to real humans is the main reason I need to set aside time to do this.
I really don’t care if AI trains off of what I’ve said. I do care that greedy greedy Steve Huffman killed 3rd party apps for it.
If Reddit’s use for searching obscure stuff goes away, there goes the biggest draw of the site. Get people going elsewhere. Like here!
I took the only multi-viewed comment I remember making and moved it here.
Had one comment people kept digging up YEARS after I made it, copypasta’d it to Lemmy and edited original comments to redirect here.
If more people would migrate info they’ve shared like that it would be nice.
This is a downside. I mainly was on a couple specific video game subs and some small branch subs of broader communities.
I have fallen back about once a month.
Don’t know my exact age and can’t check as I post this because I refuse to visit reddit on my phone via anything but Apollo. But I’m pretty sure I’m 10+.
I do miss it. Once a month or so I’ll go peek at a couple smaller communities/game communities I was in that don’t have a Lemmy equivalent yet.
But I don’t comment anymore. I canceled my reddit premium the moment Apollo mentioned shut down. And I learned how to use the stronger mode of uBlock Origin to ensure they get as little from me as possible.
The site as I see it os shattered and barely functional. I can let what I’m used to shine through when I really want to by enabling certain domains to pass through uBlock Origin and NoScript. But tbh the shattered state is kind of fittingly metaphorical.
I miss it, but I also get to feel like I’ll see it grow all over again, slightly different.
But this time I already know that it’ll become a great place to go find a community for any specific niche in the future.
And this time, an ass CEO idolizing another idiot cannot kill off third party apps with one toxic decision.
I still have my account and check like once every couple weeks for 2-3 communities.
On PC, old.reddit, and no chance of getting a single ad in my face. I’m not technical enough to know if they’re getting other data from my bimonthly visits, but that’s a far cry less than my old every night visits.
As soon as they get rid of old.reddit it won’t even be reddit to me anymore. Just an ugly new thing overwriting the site I once enjoyed.
Welcome to the Fediverse!
Good to see you found your interests here! One of the most common complaints is the lack of whatever niche someone is looking for. So it sounds like you got lucky!
I’m another that fled when they killed 3rd party apps, and.lied about devs to demonize them in the process. Never swappedoff of old reddit on my PC, Had been spending half of my reddit time on mobile, refused to install their shitty adware app on my phone.
Spent less and less time on it on PC, eventually accidentally did something on my browser that disabled the ‘reply’ button even on old reddit, took it as a sign.
Old account, same Karma style. No farming, just decent wordsmithing while writing my comments. Enough to know my general comments would be positive, without sacrificing what I wanted to say. (And to know when to go all-out on something unpopular enough that no careful words would stop the downvotes)
You will find a different culture here. I’ve certainly gotten dome comments upvoted that I was SURE would go negative. If you notice posts/people that bother you are primarily from one instance, you can block that whole instance from your feed. We even have a lil community specificly for complaining about power-tripping mods at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you feel any here could use some name 'n shame!
