Sweet I’ll give it a shot, thanks.

Damn, really? I’m a fan of the ui. Is voyager an app now? Not into web based platforms.

Does anyone else use Memmy?

I ask because the links to new communities never work for me. Curious if it’s the same for others.

Exactly. It was dramatized and way more entertaining than reality but the premise was based on very realistic scenarios.

I want all of those things.

I’m blessed to have a decent amount of Korean restaurants to choose from, but a make at home option sounds great. Hadn’t considered that, thanks.

Can’t really think of anything other than the kimchi and tofu that’s not canned anyway, should be pretty easy to make.

And agree, very interesting story.

Somehow had never heard about Army Stew until recently. Ordered it and was blown away. So processed. So delicious.

I’ve never heard the term sealioning. Is it really a thing?

I don’t think it is, but if you have any evidence to prove it, I’m listening.

Their lighting app is a steaming pile of shit as well.

Now I learn this, 2 months after tossing that platform in the bin.

After years of wondering where the hell the breaking news went…

Good writeup, but a few things I’m taking away from it.

1. I’ll say it again, fuck RedditCorp.

2. A recurring theme I’m seeing in these articles is the framing of it as a RedditCorp vs mods issue. I was just a user. Yes, the mods got screwed hard here, but so did any casual user who relied on well-designed apps to allow them to access and participate in the discussions they cared about without being clotheslined by an ad every 5 seconds. This is as insulting to the users as it is anyone else.

3. It’s been mentioned by a few others but why did they choose Discord? This article points out the flaws with it, all of which would be resolved by migrating to Lemmy/Fediverse. I’m not a user of Discord or Reddit, so I’m not tuned in to their reasoning.

4. Related, another article that gives no mention to the incredible growth that’s happening over here. Maybe that’s for the best, but a little exposure couldn’t hurt. I know all of my niche equivalents over here are silent.

5. Shoutout to Guy in the article, most of the things he said are 100% spot on for members of any passionate community. I hope more people who continue to use that one outdated site read this article and finally ask themselves, “Why the fuck am I still sticking around this place?”

Progress is forward, not backward.

I’m in the same boat, but rather than just going back to Reddit for those communities, I’ve opted to lose those communities, conversations and information entirely. I will not support their platform.

And I resent Reddit for that in a major way. Fuck them.

We did it Reddit!

/s

I guess I beat reddit then.

I wonder if the people who either linger out of hope or don’t realize what is going on have been around the internet long enough to have seen this happen before.

Many of us have seen this happen over and over and over. There’s nothing surprising about it. Yes, your go-to favorite website will fail you.

Decentralization helps, but I can’t imagine shit won’t hit the fan at some point in the future.

You know you can blur and/or hide nsfw posts right?

It’s happening, I love it.

13 or 14 years here. I didn’t delete my account but I don’t even want to give them the traffic from going back to see my join date.

That’s disgusting.

I feel like relying on the algorithms completely misses the human elements.

If I need an answer to something, I want my top results to be short and sweet. If I want a documentary or dj set, I don’t want a 3-10 minute version.
