Because the site goes down too often. I get it, not the developers fault. But it will take off only if there is more reliable.

It totally took me by surprise to see him out there picketing with the workers.

I think this is why net neutrality is so important. Back in the days the electromagnetic spectrum was not as heavily regulated as it is now. Technically anyone with the technical know how could set up a broadcasting station. Then CBS, ABC, NBC all got together and did exactly what these companies are doing. They banded together to make it harder for the average person to get access to technology. This is their primariy goal. To give their companies priority at the network level (seconds matter) and also, most likely what they want is to 1. Find ways for their content to be regulated differently and be sold as network packages 2. Probably allow their content to be delivered through means that require people pay THEIR ISPs. Now, i will be honest. I have not read the article but i knlw this has been the intended goal for many years.

So are we going to start eating with our bare hands? Taking showers when we feel like it? What’s next? Clipping nails in the middle of the state of the union. Public perception and image still matters and it should matter. I don’t give a shit what they say, putting a tie and a suit shouldn’t be too hard.

I swear the God. It feels like Musk gets in a room to concoct how they can make their company shittier.

“Elon, how about if we make the app more appealing to a wider audience by moderating hate content?”

“No, but what about if we get rid of the reason why it’s valuable, we rename it to a shitty name, we allow more hate and then we demand people to provide IDs?”

“Umm, sure…”

Supply side Jesus

I am not leaving unlesa somehow reddit pays me to go back to it. I am a man of conviction. I went back just because i got a notification of someone replying. Other than that, that’s it. I am staying here whether this takes off or not

What i find interesting is that somehow in developing countries justice was slow but eventually it arrived. I can think of places like Peru with Fujimori. Presidents got away for a while but eventually their own justice systems made them pay. I would be surprised if somehow justice didn’t prevail in this situation with Trump.

I want to do the same. I want to start becoming less and less dependent on these large corporations. I don’t use social media but i still need to use the cloud. I am still stuck with gmail.

The only thing more pathetic than Musk are his fans that would defend him no matter what idiotic thing he says or does.

Wondering if reddit or Musk are behind the attacks?

The fact that they’re bringing this back in a month other than April is pathetic. I don’t know what species is worse. You don’t see them trying to fuck each other over for a goddamn percentage.

Rich people are so disconnected from reality. I mean, when I tell you disconnected people really don’t understand. The best way to put it is ths: we have a hard time intuitively understanding the vast distances in the universe. Musk is like that. He is a person with such level of disconnect. He truly lives in his own reality, most likely because a man like him does not understand the concept of poverty or struggling to make ends meet. The narcissism displayed in that interview in which he says that “if speaking his mind means losing money then so be it” should tell you how this man truly lives in an alternative reality. I am so glad most of us realized the kind of scum he is.

But they will never know what is like to be under the fear of a cold war and a nuclear attack…oh, wait, shit!

Mr. Putin, bring down this wall!!

There are 2 types of people in this world. The ones that like crocs and the ones that do not like crocs. I think it’s a very very clear definition into the psyche of humans

Contributors should be rewarded. What kind of contributions though? Video? Isn’t that Youtube? Articles? Ok. I mean, if they are really good articles that really give insight into important information, great!. Art? Sure. They deserve it. This is the thing. Once it becomes “commercial”. Then the forums will become safespaces. The whole thing becomes just a giant market and I can see reddit “demonetizing” depending on the content. That will turn reddit into something entirely different to Lemmy. And you know what? That’s alright. The internet is big enough where reddit can coexist with the fediverse. But this is actually a good thing. Because then, lemmy and systems like this can become community oriented. A platform where people can discuss without concerns of what a corporation will or won’t do. A place where the value lies on our contributions as a community in the very same way reddit was in its beginnings.

Reddit becoming a source of income for contributors shouldn’t be a bad thing. It simply turns it into something entirely different to what we saw back in the early 2000s

Good. The sooner we do away with all the Russian scum the better

You would see an overdraft and a fee charge on your account where you had 37 dollars.

Is it possible to replicate to another community as a back up? Kind of a Master-slave DB?
