Former employees will, hopefully, find another job within their lifetimes.

I hope I was able to help.

I only use Lemmy because RIF stopped working.

I’m not an activist and do not tend to act when my bubble isn’t affected. When I heard all the commotion I thought “damn! I liked RIF. Welp, let’s download the new Reddit app. C’est lá vie.”

I proceeded to download it and… IT ASKED ME FOR LOGIN CREDENTIALS 🤡!!!

On that moment I gave up. One of my favorite things about Reddit was the pseudonym aspect of the site. I could see a post about some topic, create an specific pseudonym just to reply that post and preserve my identity and my main online aliases. I’m not against demanding information for accounts that post on the site and even taking measures to limit the number of aliases a single person can have. But demand login to lurk!? Fuck that! Complete greed. Absolutely barbaric!

Popular is the future of Reddit.

They will put in effort to kill small communities.

In Brazil we had a social media site that was huge during the 2000s called Orkut, it was owned by Google. It was sort of a mix between Reddit and Facebook: you had your own profile with pictures but you could also join communities that were organized in a searchable manner, like Reddit. Several of those communities migrated to Facebook, but they lost A LOT because Facebook wasn’t meant to be used in this way.

I think the same thing will happen with Reddit. It will be more like 9gag and less like Reddit. Communities like r/funny or r/whatcouldgowrong will prosper while communities like r/askhistory will move forward crippled.

I don’t think Lemmy will get a relevant share of Reddit (on Reddit’s perspective) users. It has already obtained a relevant amount of Reddit users (on Lemmy’s perspective) and it should keep being pushed for Reddit orphans, but it will be smaller and communities here shouldn’t be as restrictive as they would be on Reddit. Instead of making c/dogs, make c/pets and include dog owners, bird owners, fish owners, else you will exclude people and have a dead community.

Half serious.

There is nothing you can do. You can’t stop climate change and environmental destruction with your metal straws and reusable bags. You also can’t save animals in a global sense. You can only pick a few and help them. Individual effort means nothing and even NGOs and activists are futile in this struggle.

Yes, those animals that you help shouldn’t reproduce because the whole problem arises from excessive use of resources and one more mouth to feed is one more mouth to suffer starvation. On the other hand, it’s so marginal that it doesn’t make any difference. Environmentalists really need to understand that Karen the vegan won’t make a difference, they need to make poor people from China, India and Africa refuse meat, poor people from Europe and America and middle class BRICS to refuse plastics and fuel, make sure that Nigeria never gets a middle class with cars and electronics, keep the US and Europe from renewing their car fleet even if they switch to electrics (they won’t throw the ones that were already made into the trash), to have a chance of making a difference. And that won’t happen because these people aren’t stupid, it would make their lives worse for what? To make sure that Karen the Vegan and her kids can stay rich in a proper climate while they spend 2 hours per day commuting? No, lol.

Are you telling me you aren’t willing to go into the wild, kidnap lions and try to castrate them?

Castration.

You will save those who aren’t born yet.

I used “main” in terms of popularity.

Keep playing to get more rich.

Most professional gamblers quit just before a big victory. I won’t make that mistake.

You are right.

I should add that, if you Bing it, you’ll see that it’s Outlook.

Now that’s a proper answer!!! Google is for college kids, real workers use Microsoft.

You are welcome.

If you Google it, you’ll see that it’s Gmail.

Hope I was able to help.

You are welcome.

I’d add a D and balls to their antomy, right above the P. It would make sex more interesting and make hentai more realistic.

Oh. From social interaction and dating. I think I would make their beauty/attraction rating more evenly distributed, like men rate women. It’s really sad that they (women) can’t feel attraction for someone who isn’t a rich bodybuilder and feel like they are always settling. Meanwhile, somewhere there is a dude beating for an old obese woman…

Mate, I won’t explore my city because I’m afraid of crackheads. I’m definitely not locking myself with a bunch of crazy adrenaline addicts on a giant metal tube.

No.

Thanks.

I’m a hot chick who will send you nudes as soon as you transfer me bitcoin.

Trust me bro, I’m from the internet.

That’s cool.

But did you clean your tummy today?

Don’t let your emotions and your happiness keep you from doing important stuff, like post here, start communities, reply posts, and clean your tummy.

I’d compare more to the Titan situation. Every day there is an expert explaining how they are doomed,

I’m not really watching anything because I don’t visit reddit, but from time to time, news appear saying that it’s sinking. Sometimes a starved seaman shows up talking about how the ship had split in half during a sunny day and they are currently attempting to use silver tape to glue it back together before a storm hits them. Then another one shows up a couple days later saying they no longer have food…

You want the job that is offered to you, pays good, and won’t feel like hell every day. This job may or may not be related to your field of study, but you better study something useful if you want to be taken seriously.

Stop thinking that you can pick and choose, sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. Some people can, most people can’t.

As someone who thinks like said user, they fucked up my potty time because I used RIF. I couldn’t care less about protests and other shit, but I won’t install Reddit official app because it’s bad and I need an android app. I don’t want to browse from Firefox. Therefore, here I am. Most people aren’t too invested into reddit and creating too many barriers will drive the away. The reason I don’t use reddit is the same reason I don’t use Twitter, Facebook, and hardly ever open Instagram: their apps/sites are just too inconvenient to use due to little things such as forcing logins, ads, pushing internal browsers, pushing their own image/video hosting…

I like Tiktok, on the other hand, despite doing a lot of the same shit, and YouTube haven’t annoyed me enough to leave yet.

Welp. Reddit should’ve thought about this possibility before screwing over everyone.

But your last argument is reason enough to keep your Reddit account.

I don’t gamble because gambling is a sin. But I suspect it will be something along the lines of paying for karma and paying to get your threads on the front page. It will then evolve to paying to get your messages first and paying to keep your community active. Why let those peasants who have a PS5 manage their own community when Sony would pay to have their guy managing it?
