No idea but I’d imagine it’s even worse there

Giving a buck to that dev is better for him than all those ads you “watch”.

OC could watch 2 ads a day for 5 years and it still would make the dev less money than a $1 donation

Sorry but “why haven’t the devs given me [thing I want]?” is a very presumptuous way to phrase a question.

They could have asked “Will the admin features [X, Y, Z] become available to users?” with the explanation of why they’d want it.

Because the devs are working on other stuff (for free, by the way)

Why don’t you help out and add some yourself?

I agree but it did shake my confidence enough to make me back off. I watched LTT mostly for entertainment (GN for news and reviews) and I’ve since “filled that spot” so it’ll probably only make its way back into my watch list once a different thing falls off.

I saw that which is why I’m willing to give them another chance. I really don’t think Linus is a scummy guy or anything, they just grew too fast without thinking.

I haven’t had a strong desire to get back into the channel but if a video pops up on my feed again, I might resub.

I’m glad this report showed their innocence but I unsubscribed after the GN/Billet Labs thing.

I might check them out again later but that situation made me kind of uncomfortable with supporting them

Only reason I’m not outright dismissing this sequel is because Danny Boyle is directing it. I thought 28 Weeks Later fell short of the original but it was still enjoyable enough.

“After 28 years” received a 6-minute standing ovation at Cannes

I wholly agree with your overall point but that’s not why this exists. The ruling class is not so benevolent to give people jobs just to make sure they’re fed - they don’t care. This technology exists because it’s good for the shareholders. Data - and control of said data - is valuable and their bosses want it. It’s all about profits and consolidated power - this job would not exist if not for its benefit to the ruling class.

“Bullshit work” is stuff like paper pushing and those are the jobs that are disappearing with automation.

Host your own. bruh…

It got worse but it didn’t become a truly toxic cesspool until Elmo bought it.

It’s not like the majority of the site was toxic, either. It was THE site for science, comedy, music, and a bunch of other interests until recently. It’s like picking a couple shitty instances/communities we have here and declaring the entirety of the fediverse a toxic cesspool.

Twitter was no worse in that regard than any social media site until the 2016 election.

But surely you’re aware how played out that joke is?

Twitter was great and I think anyone who thinks otherwise either curated it to be awful or didn’t really use it at all. Your Twitter experience was defined by who you followed. There was sports Twitter, political Twitter, science Twitter, weird Twitter…there were thousands of different spheres to put yourself in.

If you followed political accounts…yeah you set yourself up for a toxic experience. But I followed funny people so my experience was great. A seemingly endless series of one liners, comics, and weird observations.

“I read what you wrote as a standalone comment instead of as a reply so I ignored all context”

…okay

If the person I replied to was correct in saying that 99% of Lemmy is memes and I have memes blocked, that would mean I am only seeing 1% of posts when I browse. I am saying that if that was true, I would run out of posts quite quickly and that has not been my experience at all. I’d wager it’s much closer to 50% memes than 99%

Lemmy is not 99% memes. I have most meme communities blocked and I never run out of posts on my feed

I do not want to see polls added unless it’s only moderators and admins who can post them. If Lemmy is anything like reddit (it is), the vast majority of them will be useless clutter…people posting polls as “content.”

It encourages clicking a button over leaving a reply. We’ll get a thousand “Do you think [thing] or [other thing]” posts with very little engagement.

It’s never let me down
