  • I disabled it on my phones. I've found it to be completely without value.

  • Had to look up what substack was. Not sure if that speaks more of it's irrelevance, my ignorance or if it's a 50/50 split.

  • I think the answer to that question would completely depend on what you value.

  • He's really working hard to follow closely in the footsteps of his idol, Hitler.

  • No, because I don't live in a binary world where I have to pick one over the other.

  • He makes great content but a lot of my subs make great content so I doubt I'll notice when all is said and done.

  • The power of opensource.

  • I don't think for myself, it's primarily the fault of bots, misinformation and ads. It's.... Us. We're not as interesting as we like to think we are and I have just gotten exhausted slogging through the "look what I can do" posts.

    It's much more rewarding for me to follow videos or threads of people actually creating something that interests me than it is to scroll through feeds consisting of online acquaintances posting memes, pics of purchases, food and locales.

    My preferred medium is YouTube subs via freetube of channels whose content appeals to me(carpentry, car builds, mtb, etc). I don't use any social aspects of the platform, I just like to watch the content.

  • Out of curiosity, how many years back are you remembering? I can imagine it happened to me when I was 20 but its not really a thing for me at 50.

  • This is why people can't take desktop linux seriously.

  • More guns in the hands of the other children would have kept this travesty from occurring. #hopesandprayers

    'Murica!

  • That works in both directions. Don't assume that the few that didn't return are the ones that would have saved Reddit via incredible content.

  • I prefer an early death to hanging out with you filthy animals.

  • If I had to watch an ad, deep fake or not, I'd just stop watching YT vids altogether.

  • You can still opt out by opting not to use Dropbox.

  • This is too vague to even discuss.

  • I ran a niche VW community and for a quarter of a year, I singlehandedly posted multiple posts daily. No downvotes, subscribers gained, 50+ up votes on some but practically 0 community engagement or content. Lemmy is too small still to support anything but politics or tech of a certain slant.

  • I love anything that further sinks the site.
