Been on Lemmy from Reddit for over a year. Really don’t miss it, except for a few niche communities.

You sidelined US companies the moment you enacted tariffs (among other things), you turd.

They want maximum trade barriers going in and minimal trade barriers going out.

It’s just straight up bullying. Always has been.

This is what happens when people who, at a primal level, think the world is a zero sum game. Who never learned how cooperation results in bigger rewards.

If it could be broken so easily then WTF is your administration using it in the first place, dumbass.

Deny, deflect, diffuse. That’s all they do. Lie, lie, lie. Anything to avoid any kind of accountability.

He’s just a snake oil salesman looking to cause a problem to sell the solution. Just the usual conman shit, but at a national level.

Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.

It has to be this fucking stupid, because the weapon of choice against democracy is idiocracy.

I know what you are saying, but consider for a second that the shit we are experiencing today ultimately stems from tribalism. Tribalism existed full well in hunter gatherer societies. In some ways better (no nukes). In other ways, far, far more brutal.

They excluded religious items that didn’t shove oppressive symbolism in people’s faces. Get your facts straight.

After Ukraine, the value of deals offered by the US is less than nothing.

Canada-U.S. relation

This is such a disengenuous way of saying “Trump’s attempts at trying to destroy a perfectly healthy and functioning relationship”. The rest of us Canadians and Americans continue to have good relations.

Post-truth society sucks.

Is it built by Tesla, Meta, Boeing, or some other American corp?

Nope, nope, nope.

Hard disagree, and in fact this was one of my early complaints, and a pretty serious usability issue: because some accounts had an avatar and some didnt, the justification was all over the place, making the scanning of usernames and community names a real chore and tiresome.

Wether you like the default picture or not, well I guess that’s a matter of personal preference. You could always upload a black box for yourself (or even a transparent PNG?).

But that aside this is objectively better UX.

The good news is, there are so many front ends in development, we’ll all quickly find a UX tailored to our needs.

Let Google be irrelevant. It kind of already is there in the absence of Reddit.

The nerds always blaze a trail when boring old entrenched media ruins good things. In this case the thing being ruined is a search engine that makes the critical mistake of assuming a traditionally “prestigious” .com equates value. Fuck the old establishment, it’s time to ditch decrepit big tech and remake the internet the way it was meant to be. It’s time to reinvent how we share and discover content.
