When Linux gaming reaches 100 percent parity with windows, I'll probably switch. Until then I can't really justify it for my home PC. Give it 5 years or so, I've heard good things about... proton, i think it was called?

Oh there's definitely stuff wrong with me, I just don't know if this specifically is it

Wow that's a classic! I haven't seen that video in the wild since the early internet!

There might be something wrong with me for that to be nostalgic...

I know better than to install windows 11 because I have pattern recognition skills. Windows Xp? great

Windows Vista? mediocre

Windows 7? great!

windows 8? mediocre

windows 10? great!

Now just to hold out until windows 12 or whatever they call it.

Hilariously, this is a problem reddit will soon face after killing it's API. most of the actually robust mod tools were third party.

Speaking of: Remember when YouTube was good? When your feed showed you your actual subscriptions, the earlier algorithm was showing you stuff you actually want to see and not 6 late night shows, an ad for YouTube TV, and maybe a decent video essay or two?

The other part about warning employees not to wear Reddit gear in public for fear of violence was meant for the press and for the uninformed, to try to garner sympathy and paint the protestors as bad actors.

Glad people aren't blind to this obvious ploy. When LGBT violence is at an all time high I don't think you need to be worried about wearing a reddit shirt.

This is so deeply pathetic on the part of reddit tbh. CEO's gotta power grab i guess.

Is it possible to federate the whole site, or do you have to do it by community specifically?

No matter how many developers you get, you're never going to have a good product if the guy calling the shots won't allow it. I'm confident that the developers working on Reddit probably know damn well that their product is trash and there's nothing they can do about it because their job isn't "make a good site" its "do what your boss tells you to do"

That's what everyone liked about reddit though! That you could be relatively anonymous, I mean. Of course, this had some pretty significant drawbacks too, which is why there's so much unbridled hate speech going on there.

Someone on the fediverse (might be here?) asked "Do you want Lemmy to succeed or do you just want reddit to burn?"

I've landed on "both, for independant reasons." Its been high time reddit's corporate greed gets checked, and what a better way to go than an icarus flight?
