Plenty of friendly faces round these parts. Perhaps not quite as prolific though.

Today is a good day.

Yes! You made it over here!

This makes me happy.

13 or 14 years here. I didn’t delete my account but I don’t even want to give them the traffic from going back to see my join date.

That must be why there were a couple helicopters flying above it a few days ago.

That’s disgusting.

I feel like relying on the algorithms completely misses the human elements.

If I need an answer to something, I want my top results to be short and sweet. If I want a documentary or dj set, I don’t want a 3-10 minute version.

Agree completely. It just makes it all sound much more complicated than it is in practice. I’m used to the fediverse now and my eyes glazed over reading all that.

Another issue I have with the article is that he doesn’t even touch on third-party apps, which are abundant and pretty damn robust considering how new they are. The fact that much of Reddit’s self immolation was directly due to their treatment of third-party apps. At least worth a paragraph in my opinion.

Otherwise, nice write up.

I feel the same way and made a post about it yesterday that got hammered with downvotes.

Thanks but not yet. General trends toward young and/or low effort. Want to chat about underground deep house, burning man, or mechanical watches?

Yeah, neither do my friends. That’s what I’m missing (as examples). Doing my part to get us there, but it’s pretty lonely so far.

I came for the cause as well. Im just having a hard time finding my people.

Memes don’t cut it.

I’ve gotten way more response to this than anything I’ve posted in the communities I’m actually interested in.

I’d do backflips if I opened a box and got that.

Your voice is louder here, enjoy it!

Appreciate the honesty. Keep up the good work.

Seems like it should be #1, it’s basic functionality.

1. These people have to deal with the public. People suck, so burnout happens pretty quickly.
2. Most people don’t want to do that job so your criteria for acceptance is relatively low. See post office or other public-facing gov work.

Edit: Huge shoutout to the woman at the DMV the last time I had to go who was the nicest person I’ve ever interacted with in any situatiin as a customer, not just at the DMV.

Tidal has been doing that for a while. The hi-fi option is/was double the price of the standard.

This picture is an absolute classic. Back in the day, that girl was depicted kicking every possible thing imaginable and then some.

Funniest thing in my opinion was that they continued doing it long after 2000 passed.

Really. The linked thread has so much, “If you don’t do these x things, we’re going to be really upset.”

Come on. Cut the fucking cord.

I’ve yet to see an instance owner/admin behave in such a way to deserve such a gesture. It’s nice.
