Resol van Lemmy

I always thought the Nintendo DS Lite looked like something Apple manufactured.

Now that I think about it, it’s kinda ironic because Steve Jobs hates the stylus.

It’s bad because they don’t want you to use it, but they made it exist so that they don’t get sued by the European Union.

Yep, Reddit continues to shit itself.

This is exactly how I feel.

I actually miss Reddit, I miss it when it was actually a useful site where you can engage with users on specific topics that barely anyone in my country gives a shit about. I left Reddit on 1 July 2023 (the day API access for third party apps got shut down), and after 11 months, I’m still not looking back. Lemmy really is my new home now, I’m called “Resol van Lemmy” for a reason. Let’s be honest, Reddit nowadays is basically some buffalo trying to take a huge dump on a birthday cake, an incredible website that ended up being ruined by a bunch of shitty business decisions. I’m gonna say it again, fuck spez. He is not was Reddit is about, we Redditors are what Reddit is about. I don’t even care anymore, fuck him. Lemmy might potentially be as good as Reddit one day, but I suspect that this day is quite far away from today, but I (and my fellow Lemminos/Lemmings/Lemurs/whatever) am working to make that day closer than ever.

Well here’s the thing. I already said I almost never touch the up/downvote buttons.

Exactly.

I basically did the exact opposite. I never press the upvote/downvote button, but I almost always leave a comment on the page whenever I have something interesting to say. I even reply to the replies I get. I have carried this behavior forward to Lemmy.

And yeah, I was actually active in quite a few subreddits, that is, until the whole API thing happened.

Lemmy is basically an parallel universe of Reddit. There’s less people here, which means smaller but also less toxic communities. Since this is a segment of the fediverse, people also tend to talk about Linux and free open source software, while also trashing on Windows, Google, and any other product by what I like to call “Big Tech”. People are much more liberal here, there’s more tolerance for the LGBT community, there’s basically lots of hatred for cars, people praise the European Union. Ok some of these are bad examples of liberalism, but still, it’s all found here. Enjoy your stay. If you don’t like it, you’re free to bid us farewell.

Browsing the Reddit website completely anonymously

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

Thank goodness I ran away when I could

Just browse it logged off on the old site on a desktop. Or better yet, stop visiting that website entirely.

I still miss Alien Blue.

Reddit bought it and then basically ruined it.

“Heart of the internet”

Looking at the controversies Reddit had over the years, especially the latest one regarding third party applications (which is what made so many of us migrate to Lemmy in the first place), I’m getting the vibe that this slogan is nothing more but sarcasm.

And I was one of the folks that actually liked it.

Reddit’s rebranding is just garbage.

It may look harmless but spend enough time with it and it’ll destroy your brain… and nuts.

I understand your point.

It’s actually a Kbin clone

You’re making great progress.
