We will see! It is very possible that the high heat and the tropical storms in the pacific will trigger the monsoon flow. Everybody wash your cars ;)
Costa Rica is a beautiful and wonderful place. People are so warm and amazing to be around. Where did you meet this noble beast?
I feel like the API debacle made me realize I had Stockholm syndrome. I look back and realize I would write and delete comments because I would be sure I’d have another redditor debating or nitpicking something unimportant, a lot of interactions were just antagonistic. Even a good amount of content was kind of boilerplate, a formula of what was going to get the most upvotes.
If i never see a post about people complaining about karma or other meaningless internet points again, it’ll be too soon!
Couldn’t agree more, we need to continue to attract the kind of people who would really be able to help grow this kind of community, so if you have friends you think would like this, try talking to them.
Drop a couple bucks into support the admins and servers - think about streaming services you pay for and use less. $5-10/month to donate to a service you are using daily is pretty cheap considering.
Thank you for everything that you do!

Really incredible to see these snap shots of people’s lives. To think whole families, great days, and tragedies all sprung up around these people in the time span. Life is a mysterious journey.
let’s go
100%, 12 year daily reddit user - feels like I’m out of a bad relationship. I moved all my third party apps off three weeks ago and have replaced all my time with Lemmy and the Fediverse.
I didn’t realize how poorly the experience had degraded - scrolling content mindlessly, most interactions were dull and sometimes weirdly antagonistic.
Conversely, my experience on Lemmy has been interesting content with more depth, connecting with people in a warm and welcoming way. I don’t expect this to become reddit - I wouldn’t really want it to.
I am excited for a future here as the third party apps are removed last this week and we can start a new adventure together.
the #17 most watched movie on AppleTV is Titanic… I was surprised haha
let’s go! just finished through the campaign on D4, amped to play a season. Whatcha playing this weekend?
The other thing is why this timeline? I think it’s because of the downgrade of the valuation on the IPO.
It seems like there are investors and other forces plus the absolutely awful communication and leadership from Huffman.
They are in this spot where people who don’t seem to understand Reddit are making decisions about it.
Even if this doesn’t “kill” reddit, the decision making has been very obviously hostile toward its users and future.
this is a great memetic analysis
