Same. I didn't care for relay compared to RiF, not my preference, but it was good enough after RiF died. But now that relay is out too? I'm not sure I can stomach using the reddit app. I'm definitely not paying for anything either. I already pay with my mental health by reading reddit comments, I'm not paying money to do it too.
I always assumed vampires are sort of stuck their age mentally as well, for the most part. They can get more wisdom and knowledge but emotionally and sexually they're whatever age they got turned in. So a 200 year old vampire that got turned at 17 is basically a 17 year old in that way.
Same here in the US Midwest. 90% of these fabled amazing local businesses are incredibly overpriced and often run by assholes who treat you like shit, treat their employees even worse, and often don't know their products any better than a Walmart employee. Also often incredibly right wing, which of course connects to them treating their employees like shit again.
If I'm going to support bad people and bad business I'd rather do it in a way that benefits me.
Crossposting is popular and there are a lot of overlapping communities that post the same sort of content so of course you will right now. The current lemmy users are overwhelmingly nerdy, so piracy and gaming communities are going to show up a lot and there are several of them over the different instances.
So you'll see this on several gaming communities and again on several piracy communities.
This is a real braindead take and I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. If you can't tell the difference between circlejerks and echo chambers, and people simply discussing things they mostly agree with, that's your own problem.
Doesn't mean it's not a real issue or a thing that even exists, that's just a silly thing to even say.
Why does it have to be a conspiracy? There could have been tons of fingerprints, and they have no way of knowing which ones are related to the cocaine. Visitor logs? For everyone that entered that area?
Lot of people trying real hard to make stuff like this into something it's not. Until it's about one of "their guys", then no amount of hard evidence would matter of course.
Crazy thing is so many people still don't get it, even while they complain. Even people who fled reddit to lemmy complain about people on Lemmy talking about defederating threads, acting like people are overreacting.
"Eat the rich" by finding a candy sold by a different corporation? Focusing on stuff like this is such a pointless distraction from actual issues and solutions.
But literally all it did was create yet another place, and now they're just another musk circlejerk sub creating more musk threads, completely defeating the purpose.
Always thought it was pretty silly that a good portion of the musk spam on reddit was from a sub called "enough musk spam", and now it's here too. Name seems kind of backwards doesn't it?
It's a 100 year old poem, I'm guessing it was pronounced different in that area at the time.
