sh.itjust.works would like a word

Disco Elysium

Has anyone ever said the first statement up there in the top-left? I wouldn't doubt there's some fringe group that would, but I also think they would be in the vast minority and you'd need to specifically go looking to find it. I dislike this kind of meme for that reason, it's sowing a divide that doesn't need to exist.

PSA: If it's links on Discord, you can prefix the link with vx to make it natively embed so you don't have to click through (e.g. vxtiktok.com). This also works with twitter links (vxtwitter.com). People out there hosting these domains doing the lord's work

People like to think that they've made some far-reaching change with what little actually happened. The painful truth is: they didn't. There wasn't a big hit to the userbase, most people on Reddit already hated moderators and didn't give a shit if they got removed, and overall people caved far too quickly (how many people folded instantly when their internet moderator position was threatened? (I say this as someone who was one of those moderators that flat out quit everything and nuked my account rather than continuing to toil for free for a corporation that hates me)).

The actually important thing that was accomplished by the protesting was platforms like Lemmy getting enough of a userbase boost to become stable - in the future, Lemmy and others may be able to act as viable alternatives to Reddit, because there's already a community here (however small). Reddit will continue to enshittify, and people will continue to leave in small numbers that may escalate to big numbers if they commit a truly massive fuckup. The more heavy Reddit users (read: more invested, not necessarily more active) are small in number compared to the vast majority who lurk, don't give a shit about any ongoing meta-drama, and don't particularly care about any changes to the UI or browsing experience as long as they can still get an endless feed of memes.

Even if it hurts to realize this, it's important to make sure people get this message beat into their skulls so that we aren't stuck with a bunch of Redditors (derogatory) with over-inflated egos that think Reddit will bend over backward to appease them, then cave as soon as they receive literally any pushback from the corporation running the site.

Exactly, you get it!

It has the employee keycard for this level of the dungeon

A gelatinous cube rotates through the area every 8 hours to hoover up any leftover char

Smells like fey propaganda to me

You can't fool me, trickster

I feel like we scare our DM with this sometimes, when he takes a single player into another room to discuss something private and comes back to an in-character discussion over how easy it would be to poison a major NPC

X is ten, as the Romans do

Pantomiming to ask if they take commissions

Appears to no longer be free, so I'm gonna take this down for now. If it was an error and it becomes free again, feel free to repost!

the smell of heavily chlorinated water. i used to spend a heck of a lot of time at the pool when i was a kid, and where i live now there aren't nearly as many pools, so it's not something encountered often anymore.

Glad to see it!

I used to years ago, but I haven't recently. I don't hate it, I just decided I didn't wanna pay that much per year anymore - I actually think it's quite nice that Discord still operates off of people paying for non-essential features instead of paywalling actually useful features.

You know, based on your username I think you might be just a little bit biased

Honestly I sometimes wish the trigger finger was itchier. I think this should have happened back when hexbear was also defederated, but at least it's finally done with.

Finally.

I've been using Connect (!lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca) and, while it's not the same, it feels fairly similar to RIF (which I used to use) after some customization.
