devious,

They played the long game.

devious,

Honestly, this is exactly how I feel too. I remember browsing Reddit when Digg was my primary source and Reddit felt so small and unpolished at the time! I don’t know if Lemmy will grow in the same way as Reddit did, but it is certainly on the right path.

devious,

One day I will try this because I love coffee and I like experimenting in the kitchen in general, but the reality is the time and effort required would not outweigh the cost, quality and consistency of a local roaster who can get coffee out to you a couple of days (at most) post roasting especially if I factor in the multiple cups a day I drink!

devious,

Cowabunga and tubular!

80s were a good time!

devious,

Lemmy apps are buggy so you are going back to Reddit? I got some news for you buddy…

devious,

I feel like most of the “country” oriented instances will last (and grow) as it is a more purposeful reason to exist, and this extends to instances with very clear themes as it also gives users more of a reason for people to join them.

Well longer term allowing the community to focus all it’s hate on the CEO, rather than the platform (and it’s direction e.g. the API and gold changes) allows for an easy PR fix in future - when spez is replaced all the bad press goes away, but all the changes remain intact and forgotten.

devious,

I don’t necessarily agree, if one persons short term engagement results in five people’s long term disengagements then it’s a net gain and a good investment!

It doesn’t hurt to use these opportunities to remind people of the reasons to abandon Reddit (and of course of all the various alternatives that exist).

devious,

You don’t have to stop using Reddit entirely to stick it to them.

Using Reddit a lot less? You are contributing to the overall drop in numbers

Using Reddit to protest? You are reminding others of the reasons which may draw others away and drop traffic over time

Using Reddit to let others know of the viable alternatives? Again you may draw even more people away if they find alternatives that they enjoy dropping traffic further

Not using Reddit for anything other than protest? You reduce the value of Reddit by not actually contributing any useful community content that draws people again damaging numbers.

Task failed successfully!

devious,

Just a minor addition, if you are particularly bad with impulse spending, follow this approach but use separate accounts to help manage the budget - i.e. on payday put the amount of fixed expenses into an account and don’t touch it for anything other than these expenses (setting up direct debits for your expenses can make this run on auto pilot). Keep separate accounts for your variable expenses, your “fun money” and of course our savings as well (and only use your savings for a planned goal or emergency). It sounds overkill but it can really help you control where your funds go!

devious,

What the hell? This guy just copied my website!

devious,

I am a big fan of the McGurk effect: youtu.be/2k8fHR9jKVM

devious,

This is the exact the same as me - only still peruse Reddit because Relay is still kicking on, although I am 80 / 20 Lemmy to Reddit these days so I won’t miss anything when Relay is completely dead.

devious,

Censorship is also decentralised which means no single entity will be able to completely control the information, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want without consequence of all the decentralised instances agreeing that particular information should not be shared. Decentralisation does not guarantee you an audience!

devious,

It’s one thing to remove a feature, but another thing to announce it with communication along the lines of “we will replace it with something later”. The third party API changes smelt the same “we are blocking access now but we will work out a subscription model later”.

Makes me wonder if they actually have any kind of well thought out strategy or it’s just a series of poorly thought out and poorly planned approaches to “make money”. It screams of a mismanagement of direction to me.

devious,

I don’t think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse

Does it matter? I saw this post on the Fediverse, but I also saw it on Lemmy, I also saw it on lemmy.world, I also saw it on LiftOff, I also saw it on my phone, I saw it on the internet, and I saw it while taking a shit. All those are correct and it’s only an issue using any of those if it confuses the conversation and in most cases your requested level of pedantry will not add anything useful to a discussion (unless maybe the discussion is about how the Fediverse works).

devious,

I once worked with a senior dev who wrote all his array iteration for loops with no condition e.g “for int i = 0 ;; i++” and added an “if i == array.length then break” type condition to the end of every block… And he genuinely didn’t see this as a problem at all.

devious,

There’s likely more room for growth as several apps are still working as they move to the subscription model, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another mini wave on the horizon!

I don’t know how I feel about the move from a flat logo back to the old shaded, gradient 3D look, but I am definitely a fan of the font!

I am the 0.00001% !
