Yes, I have hear this much

I say PSQL as Pee Sequel

That’s just his home address

I low key love it. It’s unconventional, but it’s not hard to read

I miss it. I came over right after Digg died, almost half a decade before 2010. Thought it was the ugliest site I had ever seen and found it super confusing.

People did largely speak their minds though, lots of controversial posts and uncensored humor, yeah it was nice, but the change in Reddit really mirrors general cultural changes too, it was more driven by Gen X and older millennials, more tech driven, and more what people would call edgy.

It was the wild west not so much because Reddit specifically was, but because that’s what broad tech bro Internet culture was. We also had relatively unmoderated Xbox Live and online gaming and other things that are hard to explain to folks now.

What we would call social media existed, Digg called it Social Bookmarking for a Digg / Reddit / Slashdot model. Myspace was just giving away to Facebook, Twitter was getting off the ground, and chat rooms, like Yahoo chatrooms and Geocities were so unhinged back then.

2005 is around the time that Yahoo started looking major ground to Google when just a few years prior it was the undisputed default search engine.

Neat to think about all this again.

For the mom is heavy and full of boobs

The internet is full of boobs, Lemmy is no exception. Ripley’s Believe It or Not, neither is your mom.

Please don’t think this is actually hateful porfis

Same here, love Connect, feels close enough to RIF to be a good replacement for the experience.

I’m here for it even though I’m Connect for Lemmy gang.

No? It doesn’t feel like Reddit / Lemmy though either. I don’t have an account, but it feels really dead compared to Lemmy. I considered switching to Tildes, but the communities are too wide, like there isn’t a Futurama community, just a TV one, there isn’t a Retro games community, just a games one.

It makes sense when you have a small userbase, but I care about niche communities and Lemmy offers that, and some are even slightly alive here.

He’s only making a Tildes app 😞
