Kbin already is, it was very much a side project by Ernest that was no where near as mature as Lemmy. As it stands it is growing extremely fast, proportionally it is way more active and grows faster than Lemmy itself. Kbin.social iirc is neck and neck with Lemmy World.
The sound design is nuts, the scream the Thing makes is honestly one of the most distinctive sounds I have ever heard from any horror movie monster.
You’re being downvoted because people don’t understand you’re not talking about “far left” like some Trumper. You mean literal tankies, which absolutely yes some of the Lemmy Devs are as well as Lemmy.ml. It’s also a reason I selected Kbin.
True, but reddit’s portion of bots is also massive. Anecdotally I saw bots constantly in reddit’s comments. I have yet to see one in the fediverse so far.
To think such a thing would still be so pretty after 3000 years, I am amazed this has survived this long much less retained so much of is luster
To investors it also portrays utter ineptitude and an open hostility to the adminsitration of the site by a large portion of the users, and that Reddit is utterly reliant on said users to generate its value. Lord knows I wouldn’t dare want to take any stock in this company, social media in general makes little profit and Spez has admitted, before a fucking IPO, that Reddit is not profitable. What fool would buy stock in this?
It’s absolutely a fuck you price, reddit doesn’t want the press of saying they wan’t rid of 3rd party apps. But they’re trying to do it anyways. IDK why though, because it’s nakedly obvious to even people not involved in reddit.
We live in a dark world where we got stuck with Ohanian and Huffman, and not Swartz
Huffman isn’t clueless, he’s a liar. He selectively remembers thing, the man is a snake who has somehow managed to fail upwards into the position he is currently in. Even Pao was preferable, as she at least believed in what she was doing. Spez just does whatever gets him paid.
I have never liked cars, but I will admit there is something peaceful about driving by myself listening to music on days off with nowhere to be. The problem with cars for me is always the commute to work. I hate it with a passion, and in a lot of cities not having a car isn’t really an option.
He’s talking about Lemmy of Motorhead who is one of the reasons Lemmy is called Lemmy.
Honestly from the memorabilia I just think that was Lemmy’s passion, I was never a big motorhead fan but I’ve seen more than enough instances of his political thoughts to not really look down on him for his collection. He was a dude really passionate about that part of history and loved collecting stuff from it because he thought that the Nazis “looked mean”. By that he meant cool. He got rich and instantly started trying to pick stuff up.
I suppose you could say his collection and widespread appreciation for the aesthetic was a bit tone-deaf and strange but I never thought you could look at his work and his life and call him a Nazi. He clearly wasn’t racist giving his romantic history and had a few interviews where he talked about his disdain for racism.
Fun fact Lemmy actually owned a german tank destroyer called the Hetzer, or the Jagdpanzer 38. His collection was extreme to be honest. He had artifacts from all the axis countries in Europe iirc. I often, when I was younger, wished I was so rich I could collection historical artifacts from ww2 like that. I was wanted a King Tiger, a Pershing and an IS-3, never actually saw service in WW2 in combat but was in the Soviet victory parade. I liked big tanks. Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever get any of those.
I use Kbin over Lemmy for the record.
