I see this as a small victory for the Fediverse.
There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.
During the last TalkLinked Jacob said he was on Lemmy :)
EDIT: timestamped link: https://youtu.be/bGr3dTK9oAU?si=hJerQLcEG02Mq6U5&t=1135gestures passionately “Download Lemmy!”
I’m feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.
I am 35, you’re classified
The Lemmy energy is strong here.
The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.
It’s also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there’s enough people to discuss “anime” or “games”, but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.
That’ll get better in time too, I believe.
Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.
Year of the lemmy desktop
It’s happening!
“Stay cool, stay cool!”
“Smile and wave boys, just smile and wave.”
Did you know you can embed images on Lemmy using the markdown
With LemmyUI that also applies to videos and audio. With images, you can put them inside a link text field to get a button.
Soon BuzzFeed will be stealing content from Lemmy
You won’t believe our top five Star Trek and Linux memes of the week!
Blocked all meme subs… this place has enough content without filler now imho
Blocked all meme subs
I guess that works… I just never subscribed to them in the first place. Either way, I’m super happy to see more activity on the platform.
I’m convinced someone on LTT’s team is on Lemmy. Two weeks ago one of their quickbits had a title “u/spez endorses lemmy”.
We did it Lemmy
@Vittelius@feddit.org dude you’re famous now
Also: this is the way.
put me in the screenshot!
I wish reddit a very merry “Going the way of Myspace and Ebaumsworld”
Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful
Well, they are definitely something that is awful.
You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.
Fuck yeah, the most wholesome gaming community, no less.
Link to segment. And, no, not only didn’t Liechtenstein not cross the threshold they’re not even in the EU they can’t vote.
Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!
I’m worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.
It’s like we need a DOI system for lemmy posts.
When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).
That’s unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It’s all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something
Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he’s just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.
LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying…
He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.
My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn’t properly test a product for a video):
I don’t know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people’s time.
Didn’t he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn’t make for a good boss.
Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it.
Gamers NexusThe people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn’t say “oh well”, and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren’t happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like “corpa boss” to me. Now I can’t tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.
Mama we made it
