The true halcyon days were before the Digg migration. Sorry, I know most folks on the site and very likely here too were part of that diaspora but it’s fair to say that Reddit was very different and yes: better before that.

Thanks for taking a swing at it! :)

No worries.

Actually this podcast on the topic was recommended by another kind user here: https://lemmy.world/comment/7957387

Thanks for planting the seed it’s been fun to learn about this.

Sweet, take care out there.

Off topic: Hey does anyone know how I can tag a user in lemmy?

You’re totally forgetting the part where from the very top down that company is run by total fuckwads.

They’ve fucked up at every single step and remained utterly self righteous throughout.

Hey! Thank you!

If you’re ever inclined to say more about this (dub/producer as artist) please do it here?

Fascinated by this.

Yes, aren’t tthese the personal liberty folks??

Yes that’s why the saying goes: “Pine for authoritarian strongmen” and not: “Question authority” or some shit.

And my axe.

Sad, horny misanthrope checking in.

What about people who just think “A.I.” Is dog shit and chat bots are a dumb obsession steering the industry in the wrong direction due to hype and money?

Ye and he wants it for a fucking chatbot.

:)

Hey, 20 bucks is 20 bucks.

Reddit is a dogshow but Lenny has issues too.

Maybe it’s my instance or some other config but when I open lennmy it’s just wall to wall communist/anti capitalist, open source wanking and musk hate.

Look, people, musk is a cunt, capitalism is ruining not only the planet but yes also the hearts and minds of people and proprietary software probably should be a little less pervasive than what it is but can we, just for one fucking nano second discuss literally anythingbg else?

In my experience (and again perhaps just with whatever I’ve been able to set up) lemmy is tiresome, parochial and very much a one-dimensional experience.

Can any of us remember when Reddit was actually fun? A little of the silliness that made it endearing? Dumb stories about Kevin, incessant nonsense about bacon, when AMA was a fucking legendary little nook of the internet? Surely some of those are the things this community would want to foster, a little light heartedness? Look at the popularity of the Trekkie stuff, nothing to learn there?

It’s cool though, I don’t have to come here and this has all helped me realise that. I’m literally only on here typing this because I’m taking a dump rn.

Politics and whatever the other maladies are that infect Reddit aside: the app and the website are impossibly difficult to use. Ita just ads ads ads. Even if the place was a veritable utopia that’s a no from me dawg.

Positive and negative are qualitative and measures in this case.

Subjective ones at that.

The halcyon days of Lemmy lasted a week or so. As soon as you have mods coming over for Reddit you have all the shit they are schlepoed along with them. I’m only in here when I’m shitting and then only because I’ve memorised the blurb on the back of the air freshener can already.

The Lara Crofts boobs comparison is still the most accurate IMO.

The only millennials I give a shit about are the ones who made my life painful as they entered the working world and even then, away from the office as long as they are not trying to police speech we are chill.
