Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
I feel all those posts about reddit looking for mods for various communities is a good indicator. They might not have lost quantity all that much, but a very small portion of quality kept a lot of reddit interesting and running smoothly. A lot of that has either just dropped entirely engaging or migrated.
I doubt everyone would move. Some people simply take it as a sign to move on and do other things with their limited time on this little planet.
Ich empfinde Lemmy mittlerweile als wirkliche Reddit Alternative, weil hier genügend Content vorhanden ist. Leider ist das bei Mastodon immer noch nicht so, obwohl ich schon länger dort bin… Habt ihr Tipps wem man dort für lustigen Content folgen kann? Sowas wie El Hotzo oder Böhmermann, die dort leider auch nicht sooo...
Das hier ist die richtige Antwort. Mastodon ist mehr für Themen, statt für Menschen am Ende. Und das ist auch gut so. Damit sieht man deutlich mehr diverse Meinungen und Input, als wenn man immer nur den gleichen Personen folgt, die dann wieder ihre eigene kleine Echo-Kammer sind.

Atypical really gave an amazing insight into how neurodiverse people experience life and what their challenges are. One of the very best shows I have ever seen. Refreshing to have the main character be neurodiverse but no the butt of the joke like other shows used to deal with the topic most of the time.
It also showcases the many issues around someone with such a different life.
Helped me to be kinder to myself just as much as simply being more considerate of people around me. I don't know them. I don't know what is going on in their mind and why they act like they do. While I always attempted to be respectful of everyones reality, getting such an intimate and respectful glimpse was pretty important.
Ganz genau das ist es. Hundepfeife ist geblasen. Rechts weiß bescheid und jetzt kann er riesig zwinkern, wenn er zurückruft.
Meine Hoffnung ist, dass, so, wie wir hier, auch links und Mitte diese super geheime Botschaft laut und deutlich gehört hat und die Entschuldigung als wertlos erkannt ist.
Merz ist ein unzuverlässiger Lügner und die CXU wird alles tun um an der Macht zu sein, inklusive Kollaboration mit Nazis. Wer jetzt schwarz wählt unterstützt Nazis, so einfach ist es.
This message will continue to be broadcast in various ways until cooperation in government is established.
Any vote for black in Germany is now a vote for Nazis in five or ten years. Talk to your older friends and family, make sure theye understand what is going on and maybe even cut contact if they don't change their voting habits.

Im Sommerinterview räumt CDU-Chef Merz angesichts der anhaltend guten Umfragewerte für die AfD aktuelle Schwächen in seiner eigenen Partei ein. Er bekräftigt aber gleichzeitig: Ein Verbot der Partei hält er nicht für zielführend, und die Union wird nicht mit der AfD kooperieren - mit Ausnahmen.
Alle diese Aussagen sind einfach nur Tests wie viel Gegenwind kommt. Das wird so lange erweitert, bis sie die Regierung mit der AfD stellen und später von der AfD aus dem Weg geräumt werden. Dann wirds bei der CxU ganz große erschrockeneblitzratte.png Äuglein geben.
Stellaris, picked it up again for the first time since 2019 with some new DLC from the last sale. Spent a solid 40 or so hours on it again, but I think I am good for some time now. Maybe in another four years once more.
Timeline is to allow comapnies to make the transition. Still needs the parliament to sign. Only way of getting a regulation struck is by proving it's against existing EU regulations and thus unlawful. EU doesn't fuck around with these things, doubt it'll see any credible resistence beyond posturing by Apple and Co. that they'll leave the EU and whatnot.
With algorithms, clickbait, the power of hate and controversy, it's become increasingly difficult to find or amplify the smaller creators (below 1000 subscribers/followers) across the internet....
Still returning 404 for me and searching directly on kbin doesn't give me results, sadly. Could it be also an issue with caching on my end? Like, do I need to clear cache and cookies? Would be odd, but I don't want to dismiss it as a requirement.
That's the ticket! That one worked, thank you so much! Quick edit: I do see the community now and I can also access it via the link, though it's empty for me. Alas. Definitely a step in the right direction.
Now I can subscribe, but it's still empty, but it's not 404 anymore. Now I can access it through the link as well. Man, this federation stuff still is a bit midn-boggling despite being such a simple concept. Devil is in the details.
Yeah, that makes some sense. Seeing the community also says created by Edwin and like half an hour ago or so. Seems to me the instance creates a local copy, once it's first accessed and that has to be cached periodically. Slowly starting to click together.

In before my ass backwards boss tells me that people still confuse weather and climate and that this su simply weather and no climate change and also CO2 is good for plants, so we are actually saving the planet.
Two weeks ago, I had a date with a girl I met through a dating app. She was really nice, we had a great conversation and she told in person at the bar she would love to see me again....
That is why I do bot date. I am far too one dimensional in my life style and interests to attract anyone on these platforms and I won't pretend I am different just to have success there that will inevitably crumble as they realize I don't actually like bouldering.

After the 2008 sub-prime mortage crisis, Hedgefunds and Banks didn't stop with their predatory behaviour, they simply shifted it around. Student loans were a prime target for that. As well as commercial mortage backed securities (CMBS) rather than the mortage backed securities (MBS) from that bubble popping in 2008.
With COVID making work from home inevitable and CMBS becoming a huge risk factor as well as student loans possibly being forgiven, the financial elites have been rotating to survive another day until they can resume squeezing your pennies out of you again so they don't have to go under.
Just a piece of the shit pie that the US financial markets are. It's just a huge rackateering ring. I'd be immensely surprised if student loans were ever forgiven or university costs socialized again in the future. It's just too lucrative to fuck young people.

I started with Star Trek after watching the Star Trek (2009) movie in college. After that I went wild watching everything I could since I was young with loads of time. I watched most of TOS, all of TNS, all of DS9, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and all of the movies. I then stopped since I didn't have the time and wasn't...
Man. Very well put. Very, very well put. I'm so sad that Discovery was as it was. It's not Star Trek to me. I was excited to see how it started out. Things I wanted to see ever since I was a kid. And then it just doesn't do what Star Trek is supposed to do.
To me in each episode (or episode arc) we need an internal and external problem that have no apparent solutions and are worked out towards the end of it all. Self-Contained episodes with ongoing character changes and evolution. Not... "dark gritty" whatever the heck this is.
I'd also strongly suggest watching The Orville@dumples That's the most Star Trek show in the past few years, despite being a bit more light hearted. Heck, even Avenue 5 is worth a watch to scratch some of that Star Trek itch.
Absolutely, yeah. I like the levity of it and the recurring jokes, but they do tackle a whole lot of really difficult topics and do it really, really well. That's how it's very Trek like and why I love it.
Not to mention: It's actually nice and bright. I always loved that about old Star Trek. Why does modern Star Trek insist on everything looking like the inside of Darth Vaders helmet?
I get why they want to show the "The federation isn't flawless either" argument, but it is being done in the most hanfisted way possible.
The most recent episode of Strange New Worlds was an okay take on it, highlighting some hypocrisy in it all, but we really don't have enough information on the legal system to understand if any of it even matters.
I agree. The Federation as a well established monolithic structure around exploration, peace and dialogue helps frame everything else that happens in the show.
Throw that out of the window and what are we left with.
Maybe it is just a symptom of this whole "This is THE HERO" thing that popular story telling has shifted towards. Picard was undoubtedly an important and great captain. He certainty had those "everything hinges on what he and his crew do next" moments, but there were always others out there alongside him. Losing Picard was a blow to the federation when he became locutus. But it didn't break them.
Now watching more modern Star Trek it feels like the only people worthwhile in the entire federation are the people on screen right now and their renegade shenanigans.
Discovery, to me, is simply action SciFi. But what makes Star Trek Star Trek to me, isn't present at all. No self contained little adventures with moral conundrums, etc.
I'm simply not the target audience for that show, so to what I want out of Star Trek, it's not good but rather terrible. If it were simply some random SciFi Action thing, maybe, okay.
