It’s a parody of an 70s-80s sitcom intro such as full house or Brady bunch. It goes on for longer than you think, continually playing the theme song as more characters are introduced and slowly the whole thing devolves into surrealism.

This is it. Reddit will keep pulling dumb shit that drives users away and hurts engagement for short term profits. Having viable and stable alternatives gives people a place to go so they don’t feel trapped.

Elon is the kind of guy who picked a goofy xbox gamertag when he was a kid and never stopped using it. I wouldn’t know.

These models are absolutely incredible. The Norn Assimilator especially.

That literally just proves that we do in fact need more busses. More vehicles would allow for a wider coverage with more frequent and well organized stops.

The best novel line IMO is The First Heretic, Know No Fear, Betrayer, and Unremembered Empire. They all kinda share the same plot thread even if it’s from different perspectives and honestly are probably the best novels in the entire series.

Basically yes. You can essentially choose between shooty terminators or melee terminators depending on which character you attach.

Well, their production has only increased a bit while their catalogue has increased by an order of magnitude. Multiple entirely new armies, with a complete refresh of factions and models in the fantasy/40k line. The vortex beast is 11 years old, who knows what condition the mold itself is still in?

Very rarely. Low volume kits can go years between reprints, the opportunity cost of finding the molds and swapping out the lastest space marine isn’t worth it. Unless they do something like release the Slaughterbrute for World Eaters your best bet is shopping online or putting a request into a few stores to see if a warehouse shakes one loose.

That’s understandable, I think my (and many other refugee adopters) are just trying to figure out how the fediverse works and how instances communicate with each other. If I have a .world account I can pull threads from the other Lemmy servers, can I cross the streams into something like Mastodon too?

The fat dragon made my wife lose it. She just kept saying “He looks just like the cat when he smells chicken.”

I’m very excited to see how this all develops. Right now it’s pretty rough and the constant failure to load/comments getting duplicated or disappearing hurts a lot but it does have potential. Let the Lemmy’s free!

And it’s going to be compatible with Titanicus and Aeronautica

Hard to tell at this point, this is extrapolated speculation and shouldn’t be taken as statements of fact.

Musk has a policy of fucking around with other people’s money and not paying his debts. That works with companies smaller than him, but when Google is hosting a significant amount of Twitter infrastructure they can absolutely pull the plug.

Twitter is suddenly unable to function at the current volume of traffic. They limit access to only logged in users. They fired all their competent engineers so they import a hack job that seems to be CONSTANTLY checking if users are logged in. So much that the website is DDOSing itself from the attempts.

Elon, ever the moronic silver spoon man baby, puts in a nonsense policy of “tiered access” where you can only see a certain amount of tweets per day? Advertisers are obviously pissed off because that’s directly cutting their reach and access.

This is correct. Facebook is a fundamentally different site than what most people think. They’re taking the Google approach, investing heavily into providing infrastructure for under developed countries. They have subsidiaries like Discover which partners with local internet providers to offer free or discounted internet access. WhatsApp provides an alternative messenger system for regions like SEA or interior India and Pakistan, etc.

Facebook doesn’t give a shit that you and your friends don’t use it anymore. They’re making money off techno-colonizing foreign nations.

Digg still exists even if it’s a shell of its former self. Tumbler imploded and moved to Twitter, which is trying its damnedest to destroy itself too. They don’t disappear, they just slowly become irrelevant.

Reddit will still exist, but the content will continue to dry out. Sanitized for advertising and low effort for consumption. The thousands of small self contained communities that really drove the site will slowly die off. Subs that relied on outside moderating tools to ensure quality content will give up and move on.

As small hobby subs find new places to take residence I would absolutely believe reddit will become less relevant.
