Hire an orchestra? I’m sorry, the truest and purest form of music is to spend 2-3 decades mastering an instrument and make it with your own two hands.

“How many vegetables had to die for your stupid salad” kind of beat.

Everyone is saying Piracy but I say Public LIbraries, which often have CDs/DVDs/BDs/games now (depending on your locale). They’re taxpayer funded, so you might as well get your money’s worth, and they keep track of how often stuff gets borrowed which determines future financial support.

(And if you are tech-savvy enough to be on Lemmy, you probably know how to make a … permanent copy … for yourself to keep)

The people who are still pissy over at reddit don’t actually want to leave unless they’re presented with a reddit clone that has both a fully developed app and a huge userbase.

“Now introducing … Zuccit, brought to you by Meta”

I lurk the frontpage occasionally and I’ve already noticed the Reddit atmosphere has gotten … weird.

Little-known, content-churning subreddits are bubbling to the top because of all the other blackouts and desertions. Fringe viewpoints and wacko opinions that would normally get downvoted to the bottom of a thread are now out in the open because there’s no voice of reason to hold them back.

And the kind of people that are still on there, acting as if everything is fine (or, God forbid, better(???) than it was before the revolts) … it’s a very strange place now.

Thank you to all the code monkeys for getting things straightened out!

System appears to be working as intended
