After a year of absence, I’ll give this instance another shot, things have gone better than I expected.
To heck with you for your stupid opinion, everyone is obviously always positive here
Subs=subscriptions.
Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking “yep this is going to be a hit” and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever
Glad another Marxist said it. The problem isn’t that capitalism was always the wrong choice, it’s that we’re clinging to it long beyond its best before date.
I’ll give you a counterpoint, much as I also don’t care.
Usually a story like this would be incredibly sad. Similar stories about refugee ships sinking are awful and heartbreaking.
Most of this story is about rich people who signed up to do a phenomenally stupid thing with an incredibly, comically terrible person in charge. It’s actually more funny than tragic, and so people are able to read the story without feeling terrible after.
Caveat: I feel awful for this kid. Only sympathetic character I’ve seen so far.
The only person in the sub I feel much of anything for. Poor kid.
New Comments is also good.
I’d rather say that I don’t think Reddit gets any ownership of concepts that community members thought up and popularized. Most of us are still those same community members, I have no interest in granting Reddit ownership of our culture.
Hard agree, a well moderated interview can be interesting regardless of who the interview is. We all lead our own complex lives.
Build trust by having AMAs of interesting non-celebrity people.
Jokes on them, we can’t sort by upvotes and downvotes in most cases anyway
Compared to account growth that’s low but a 33% growth in four days is hard to call “low”
I’d love to find out that that’s the real Margot Robbie hiding in plain sight.
Who wouldn’t?!?
I don’t think they’d bring anyone from outside Lemmy.
There’s no way to prevent it entirely. A larger community will slide that way.
I do think that it can be less encouraged though.
I don’t really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I’d go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.
If I didn’t have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I’d either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we’d never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.
That’s never been my experience in the slightest.
I think the right way to go is fine a good local computer store with knowledgeable people and get their help parting out and assembling it. You get some repair coverage and benefits like that, they do the bulk of the work, and you can put your own options in on anything you’re knowledgeable about. It’s what I’ve done and it’s well worth it for the small extra cost.
I love this story, thanks for sharing it.
