I’m still trying to wrap my head around them having 2000 employees. Makes absolutely no sense.
The way to make big money for the past 20 years hasn’t been to sell better mousetraps. It’s been to attract venture capital. Your revenue didn’t matter as much as your size, and your size was determined by your employees and how much you spend.
It’s why Uber, whose business model is entirely skimming off of taxi drivers who provided their own cars, wasn’t profitable…
With the interest rate hikes, the investment money is drying up, and all these places are discovering they actually need to make money from their users now, and all that bloat is now a negative instead of a positive.
Basically we’re all paying the price for the stupid fucking investment bubble that’s existed for two decades. An investment bubble that existed because nobody was at the wheel driving the direction of this economy until now.
And of course the billionaires don’t want to sacrifice shit, so they’re making sure it all rolls downhill to their employees and their customers and doesn’t touch their profits in the slightest.
a fucking chat on fucking reddit are you kidding me what?
RIGHT? AND, AND! It’s a chat where you can’t get rid of the bright flaming red notification until you make the neigh-irreversible decision to either shun a person forever or reply to them.
the only chats i’ve gotten over the years were spambots

I logged onto Reddit once sometime after the chat was rolled out, it was some random person trying to contact me which I had no idea for months because I was using a 3rd party app. I put in my profile to message me instead of Chat, then promptly disabled the chat feature on my profile.
honestly. i’m still stuck to reddit because of the content only, and if i found a suitable alternative for that niche i’d finally be free to leave. i hate reddit- i hate the app, the “features”, the admins, all of that, but i LOVE the content itself
I like to use the Imgur app for browsing content now that I’ve stopped using reddit. The navigation is different, but it’s usually a lot more positive of an experience.
The content has gotten significantly worse.
Maybe we should find an ad agency and crowd source funds to make slick advertisements for Lemmy and Mastodon. I feel like you should promote a specific instance for each though, and avoid the “join-mastodon” page.
The way the instances are split does not generally make much sense for the user. It’s extremely arbitrary. We all know why, and that it’s not a bad thing altogether, but it’s bad for the user experience. That aspect of federation is not something we should promote.
the content in larger subs has gotten significantly worse. like i said, i only really browse a niche hobby sub, and the content there has remained just as good as ever.
i think that most people here (myself included) really like that lemmy is so small, though i can see why it could feel like a problem to fix. it doesn’t have the advantages of infinite content like other services do, but the smallness means anyone here really wants to be here and is interested in discussion. it’s tight knit! i feel like people who actively want a reddit alternative have searched and already heard about lemmy, and i wouldn’t exactly want the general user base to be here considering how bad they can be haha.
New reddit is better than old reddit shit that looks like it’s from 2005, at least for me

In general, old UI means shitty or non-existent password hashing, rather than “reputable”.
And I don’t see how you can compare something that has a modern UI with instagram. Is that the only modern UI app you use? I don’t even have instagram.
And so yea I use Memmy for Lemmy cuz the website just has bad ergonomics for mobile. Boo boo Apollo be like TikTok hehe cringe
I mean, seriously…

I mean I have indeed bad tastes and I suck at design so x)
Agree to disagree on the UI, after all it’s personal tastes.
such as the cringe awards they added in addition to gold
You mean the literal facebook reacts that cost money?
I hope the fediverse succeeds. But it’ll need to do it on its own, not on the back of a dying Reddit.
r/gamingnews made a post asking for new mods. There were 3 or 4 posts saying “I have little to no experience but pick me.” that were down voted into oblivion. The rest were shit posts calling out the administration, calling the new mods shills, and genteel bring combative and unhelpful.
So that was nice.
As a former mod of multiple active subs, yeah, they can have me back. All they have to do is let RIF work again.
Never really had much to say about the mods until the recent mess. What’s left, holy shit. I now look forward to the funeral of the Snoo.
poor bastard didn’t deserve the assholes he got left with.
