Google has destroyed their own ads revenue by adding more and more ads. Imagine they’d have stopped with simple side banner and people would’ve not even bothered to use an adblocker because of it. This tiny little banner would’ve been worth as much as the multiple seconds ads now. The companies would pay as much, as there’d be no alternate.

I unintentionally did this once. I still feel bad about it 7 years later. But hey, I won.

Where does the believe even originate from, that Redditors are any different than Lemmings? Basically the same people minus the youngest, because they stick with using Reddit. They might or might not migrate eventually.

Make communities here bigger by contributing and spread the word of Reddit alternative. Make search engines find Lemmy content and then it goes on it’s own. I guess Bluesky will push the Fediverse, but I wonder how long people will stick to a Twitter esque when they could have Lemmy full text conversations and tree structures?

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they’d die.

Yeah, also with physical games, it might be possible to save money, unless they all want to play the same game at the same time.

Steve: I want you to be a pretty women.

Genie: huh, okay. poof

Steve: my second wish is, you become my wife and love me desperately forever.

Genie: dafuq!?

Get a piercing and remove it before coitus.

Stop hitting yourself, argument.

I hate this because for Europe it will become expensive too, just for the heck of it.

Actually this one and I just saw it on Lemmy too. As a life long Trek fan I have this quote in my head quite often.

Woosh! what a rabbit hole!

It’s in our DNA, it’s a survival instinct.

Open your neobroker app, if Trump won, the market will crash before it made the news.

It’s almost always instantly. Like sometimes second after posting. Then it either snowballs or it goes back into positive. But initially, be it on Lemmy or Reddit it happens. I’m not constantly complaining about China, the handful of times though, it’s super obvious. Doesn’t happen on other topics.

It’s also a lot of bots. They are here too. For example, just say China plus something negative about them, in a thread about China. Easiest downvoted one can get. Make sure it’s a fact and not whataboutism, to avoid contaminating the test.

Gaming used to not be like that, but now a good GPU alone costs 800 to 2500 bucks. Sure you get away with cheaper components but at what cost, you got to be patient gamer to enjoy this endeavor.

I’d want to put this in front of the house. No one would steel it ever. lol

1526 communities. Wow that’s a lot. Is there anything left?

Only 16 user. I don’t have an issue with most people. However since I brows mostly new content from All, I got to block some communities (166 so far) or I’ll see gay/trans content, content in foreign languages or Russian propaganda. I don’t have anything personal per se against the former, I’m not homophobic, I just don’t want to see nude males constantly. Other trans communities are just fine, like when they do memes or news.

Sadly the later part, Lemmy is basically Reddit/r/worldnews but worse and spread over multiple communities without curation, allowing for a lot of propaganda. I don’t need content of people telling me that communism, which failed in their shit hole of a country, is the answer to capitalism.

However I see that this is a constant battle of the instance owner trying to keep ahead, so some of those are probably blocked instance wide already by now.

This will become less of an issue once the content we subscribed to is more and therefore we don’t need to brows All to get enough entertainment. It’s getting better by the day.
