wow, old.lemmy.world is perfection.

Very cool!

and we’d voice our opinion AS THESE CHANGES WERE HAPPENING and people would cry “things change you just don’t like change hur durr i’m so progressive”

I blame javascript. If it weren’t for people fucking with the time travel machine WE’D be the ones in the original timeline, and no one would have to suffer in this timeline where javascript got invented.

preach. If anyone wants an example of what is meant by “forum” if you’re too accustomed to modern takes on it, visit places like news.ycombinator.com or just browse reddit using old.reddit.com and go in some less “popular” subs that aren’t just people posting random pics and videos.

nah. Social Media has a sort of implied entertainment attached to it, which is not a good description of, e.g., this very discussion. This -can- be social media if you’re just lurking, but for us conversing here this is now a forum. We’re sharing thoughts and discussing.

we need to shitpost more. a neighborhood that is high in crime does not appeal to advertisers. like north korea, they live in paradise whilst convincing the rest of the world that it’s a shithole.

I can stop eating bread, going on lemmy, quit my job and get a new one, etc. There’s a reason we do the things we do, nicotine has legitimate value. I know OP is a troll but nicotine is a lot less addictive than so many other very unhealthy things people do every single day without batting an eye. Only thing actually bad about it is the smoke in the lungs.

yeah the comment per day graph is not doing too hot. Subscriber count may be rising but comment count is constantly in the valley.

now that’s a tldr.

I don’t own a mirror and use random reflective surfaces if I need one, metaphor THAT

I wanna say 20th is still pretty high, but quality of posts here are astronomically higher than reddit at the moment and if that continues to be the case, new visitors in general are gonna be signing up for both and will frequent the ones they most frequent. Same way we got on reddit, same way we got off reddit.

For that very same reason Tom said fuck all this, SOLD the whole thing and now lives his life doing whatever the f he wants. No way our boy Tom is about to come back with the whiteboard lmao he’s got it good

waiting for ERB to drop their next track

Ehhhhhhhh yeah they can stay over there. Totally free to join us here though, separately, on another account. They are the dark side, with the cookies and all. We have beans. Better nutrition.

coin

Wtf. What possible good thing do they expect to see from meta?

Lol. If they’re comparing Crypto and Lemmy and getting mad, that’s probably just one way of how they got sold on crypto by whatever community they’re in. Just ask anyone who uses crypto a simple question: If I pay for a good or service, and I am not given that good/service, what should I do? Having a decentralized money exchange is great (and much needed), as a supplement to a centralized one. Something like Lemmy on the other hand has nothing to do with trading value, it’s moreso contribution for the sake of adding value into a shared system. I’m not going to try and find retribution for someone not answering a question I post, because I didn’t pay anyone to answer it.

lol the official app came to be long after 3rd party apps existed. The official app itself was a 3rd party app that Reddit purchased (though nothing good remains)

Elon: Do I know you?

Well put, almost made me feel inspired till I remembered we’re just nerds on the internet hahahahaha
