  • It should be noted that while chat services that many use require low bandwidth, sometimes on throttled speed it's not enough to even make a basic Google search.

    It is likely that the person you are talking to already used up their high speed mobile internet and now is running on throttled. Searching something up can take a minute or two in that state. Opening up a website or navigation becomes straight up impossible.

    I suffer from that problem frequently

  • You say that but reddit shadow bans any accounts mentioning Lemmy .

    Clearly they care

  • Just you wait until you meet people with mommy issues. THOSE you wanna avoid

    Mostly because I'm my experience people with mommy issues tend to be male NEETs who are incapable of seeing any woman as just a friend. Usually incels too. I found them to be kind of abusive as people too and turn vindictive when you don't feed into their fantasies. As a woman, it's always the same old story when I encounter these men.

    Meanwhile people with daddy issues usually have their shit together regardless of gender.

  • Not really. Here's some statistics from reddit itself.

    If you even have minimal activity, according to reddit recap you'll be in the top 1% of reddit users for that year. With that one can conclude that reddits true userbase, can not exceed 5 million.

    Reddit in its usercount counts all accounts, including banned ones that have long been replaced by ban evasion accounts. This and the sites old age leads to grossly inflated numbers.

    Want even more damning numbers for reddit? Well the maximum participation for r/Place (read, everyone who even as much as viewed the event. Not even participating.) Was 1.9 million. Considering how intensly it was promoted it is likely people would have clicked on the giant banner notification. That means out of the less than 5 million active users, 3.1 million didn't even glance at the giant event that has been promoted with massive popups, banners and shiny symbols over the reddit page.

  • To add to this, a supermajority of reddit users are inactive. Recap has shown that even with minimal activity, you end up in the top 1% of reddit users.

    Based on that one can calculate that 99% (provably more but reddit recap doesn't go smaller than 1% on display) are inactive accounts, which means reddits true size lies at around 5 million or less. Less than 5 times Lemmy's size.

    There's a reason why mentioning the word "Lemmy" on reddit gets you a shadowban now. Because they're legitimate competition.

  • Not to mention a supermajority of reddit users are inactive. Recap has shown that even with minimal activity, you end up in the top 1% of reddit users.

    That means reddit has roughly 5 million active users. Meanwhile nearly every person that creates a lemmy account, is active too.

  • People need to realize that it's okay for smaller forums to exist. Imagine if we measured fucking teamspeak servers by numbers. Would be just as ridiculous

  • And this isn't even some kind of loophole or technicality. Heat metal is meant to be used on metal items enemies carry to disarm them. So this is a perfectly valid use.

    The fact that our dear nobleman went for adamantine skin instead of something more reasonable like an adamantine plate, is his fault.

    The DM didn't do their homework basically

  • Don't think it'll replace using diamonds to cut diamonds- but besides that it's pretty nifty

  • Plot twist it's a meme about being a "man of culture" and the page documented the history of a child trafficking ring

  • Yup. Probably didn't even watch Barbie. Or Oppenheimer for that matter.

  • Esp when some of the apps try to add ads or shitty "premium" options. Oh I'll just switch to one that doesn't have that.
