Best Opening Scene of a Movie

Jump

  • Scream. Pure camp, but actually scary. So good.

    • It seems that for a large Lemmy instance to be sustainabile long term (especially at the level of traffic reddit sees) it requires ads and/or raising enough donations like Wikipedia

    Jump

  • No advertisements. Period. Donations should be enough, especially if instances remain small like they are intended to. The federated internet is not about becoming reddit, which many people misunderstand. It's supposed to be something different, and one of the keys to that difference is avoiding corporate interests driving the site. Advertisements kill that instantly. If you want ads, go use meta shit.

  • You're stirring the pot. The conversation is over. It's their instance and they can do what they want.

    • 'Should I even be having children?' Eco-anxiety fueled by summer of adverse weather

    Jump

  • The "greenest" thing anyone can do is not have children.

    • Happy Friday!! Are any of you doing anything fun this weekend??

  • Seeing Tori Amos on Sunday, and took Monday off, super stoked! Haven't seen her in ages and she is one of my earliest muses, so I know it will be a magical evening!

    • Just a glimpse

  • I said frig when I stubbed my toe darkness consumes me

    • Netflix removes its basic tier in the US and the UK

  • All of these internet corporations really thought they were institutions that could not be rattled. They forget that in the grand scheme of things they have been around for no time at all and consumers will be happy to move to whatever comes along next.

    • Wikipedia is amazing

    Jump

  • This is a bad take to me. Them having a surplus of money is good. We want them to be operating as strongly as possible. Is it shitty to use an appeal to emotion like that? Absolutely. However, that shouldn't mean we all stop donating to them. For some people, the shitty appeal to emotion doesn't outweigh the importance of what wikipedia provides. Don't donate if you don't have it, but if someone still sees the value in what they do and it is easy for them to donate then they should do so. Personally, I put my money elsewhere, but discouraging people from donating at all is a weird stance to take.
