Sounds like the exact same thing, just slightly more abstracted. How many hurts is a dying?

LMAO What a take! Thanks for the laugh.

Lol that’s a wild concept. $5 for 300 searches… so now when I go down a rabbit hole I have to count my searches.

Also, that gives them perverse incentives. If they make searching just a little frustrating they can get more searches out of you = more money. That’s not right.

Aw shit, look out Elon, here I come!

I see you edited your post. That’ll be 2 CrYpToBuCkS!

I understand why people do it, but that’s not the topic of this thread lol.

Diagramming sentences.

Shit makes no sense to me no matter how many times I look at it lol.

Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn’t mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they’re so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.

We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.

Appears to be the same for me, interesting.
Probably a bug to be ironed out, always much to do. =)

Yep, every time. I was on reddit to read the content, not browse myspace lol.

Not wrong lol. I started reversing it back then.

Absolutely. Computers are great at picking out patterns across enormous troves of data. Those trends and patterns can absolutely help guide policymaking decisions the same way it can help guide medical diagnostic decisions.

That’s the month it happened, so that’s the month people post about it, meaning it’s also the month it’s removed and people cry foul.

Looks like you are @ing someone I can’t see.

Well, that’s the first major point against this fediverse business… Who’s going to stick around to have a conversation when everyone’s only getting bits of it? That’s kinda antithetical to discussion…

I feel like you’re reading a completely different conversation…

Pretty much why Reddit removed downvotes I think… brands got tired of users raining downvotes on them for shilling lol.

Spin up 50 bots.
Sign them all up for lemmy.
Let accounts interact/age.
Sell accounts to companies who want to advertise as one of the cool kids.

Happened on reddit nonstop.

I found my productivity went up as my doomscrolling went down, win-win!

Honestly I feel that the outcome was optimal.

1. It created animosity towards Reddit.
2. It exposed major problems with Reddit.
3. It boosted fediverse’s numbers.
4. It tapered off before the fediverse came crashing down from the influx of millions.
5. It reinforced the mandate to develop the fediverse, there’s clearly something here and it’s worth deving towards.
6. Reddit is guaranteed to shoot itself in the foot again, probably pre-IPO, definitely post-IPO, and now the fediverse is being given some much needed time to flesh itself out before they do.

If Reddit collapsed over this I don’t believe the infrastructure exists at this time to onboard all those members, so it’s a blessing in disguise.
