Lemmy fulfills a sort of reddit/more intimate internet forum thing. Reddit’s real social good was fixing shitty search engine results by using Reddit as a keyword, and for centralizing a lot of hobbyist discussion. Lemmy and the lemmylikes will get there as the platform matures.

I’m loving pixelfed as a sort of Imgur substitute tbh. Quick and easy image hosting for when I post on here. Not crazy about Instagram as a social media platform so there’s nothing I need pixelfed to do besides let me host medium-sized images, caption them and copy the link.

I work retail in the tackle section and got some of that artificial bait juice on my hands. No amount of shitty bathroom foam soap got that stank out

IMO: streaming services are serving narrower selections of content, becoming more restrictive with account sharing, becoming more expensive. Its becoming unusually frustrating to find the streaming service that has your favorite show on it because the licenses change hands over and over again as these streaming services spread and metastasize. It’s hot garbage.

Airbnb eating shit. Airbnb has really fucked up the housing market, everyone’s realizing it’s a sham and the practice has about as much public goodwill as Ticketmaster.

I think everyone’s getting more wary of this exploitative bullshit in general and people are getting more fluent in boycotting, protesting and making noise. I truly, truly cannot wait for the streaming service ecosystem collapse too.

I am so goddamn bad at using the apple UX

Yep. Depression paints in broad strokes and has degraded my ability to clean, keep schedules, etc. Not fun.

I’m sure that it’s both archived and has also caused enough widespread psychic damage that forgetting about Dagobah is simply not an option.

Nose blindness is a hell of a thing. Someone’s gotta be mentally totalled to smell like that and just let it ride

I don’t watch a crazy amount of movies but I loved The Platform (2019). It’s a horror movie and and a revolting, elegant metaphor for class inequality.

The internet needs more absolute bangers (cognitohazards) like the dagobah story

From what I understand I can subscribe and engage with just about any compatible fediverse website thing in a sort of generic reddit/Twitter environment, right? I don’t think I really have to make this choice, just kind of poke around and curate my home page while the app developers work on ease of use and the fediverse itself works on communication and tutorials for people like me (people who fall up stairs)

Edit: I am transitioning away from reddit the vibe sucks and the ads are a joke

This has to be either the best response in the thread or on the podium at least. Fresh Christ of Bel Air that is disgusting to think about

I’ve heard murmurs of how gnarly paper mills smell, but how would you describe it personally? Paper doesn’t intuitively seem like something that would smell like shit

I am surprised you cleaned it out instead of like, burning it to ash with thermite

I’d left a thermos of ramen in my locker for an entire school year in middle school. First year of me having depression lmao

It smelled like if you concentrated the juice in a dumpster. Absolutely satanic sensation

The subs for games like Street Fighter, the sub for fight sticks, the kind of semi-niche gaming communities that snowballed because of Reddit’s ubiquity
