This post is Meta.

On a serious note, can we appreciate Meta’s marketing team for the timing of this announcement. They waited for Twitter to bleed to kick it in the shins.

No

I feel your sentiment. But it’s more about our impression that everything on the internet should be free.

There are people that hate subscriptions, paywalls, adds or that their personal data being sold. And yet they want to use all the services such as Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, etc. People want to have their cake and eat it too.

I am not saying that the number of adds and prices are not getting out of control but it makes sense to me that if I am not paying directly for certain services, I am paying for them with my personal data or an advertiser is paying for me instead.

Technically you pay to use Youtube by watching adds. People sometimes forget that there are no free lunches.

I live in UK an I have seen ads every few posts. Have you been using it for long? Do you use some sort of VPN or network wide adblocker? Or maybe you didjtn realize they were ads as they are disguised as posts.

Well, new Reddit might easily mean better but also diffderent Reddit. Also, I am not sure whether people actually call it a new Reddit. Most of the time I heard the destription was a Reddit alternative which by definition doesn’t imply that it’s identical or even better in all ways.

It would take way more but the first step it would be to remove religions. And not only because most are not peaceful in principle but also because some religions see others as a target. Even small difference in beliefs could spark a vicious and long standing conflic, like Catholics Vs protestants.

I see you point but I think you are being harsh here. It is clear that it is not to be taken literally that Mastodon is nothing like Twitter in therms of looks. I think the spirit of the OPs comment is that it is the style of conversations, atmosphere and culture that each of them foster what makes them somewhat different.

This is the way

Alright Mr Outraged, just because you got here a week before others doesn’t mean the the new comers cannot ask about Lemmy and his it compares to Reddit. In fact the numbers are expected to rise. So good luck blocking posts and people on daily basis for weeks and months to come.

Aka, don’t be a jerk to new comers that have questions. Jeez.

I don’t know the answer.

Just because you are into slugs in teal cravats it doesn’t mean it is a niche as you think.

What are the reasons if you don’t mind me asking? I write in 3 languages on the same mobile keyboard and it does a fantastic job correcting my spelling.

I know we are encouraged to create content on Lemmy… But based on the quality of your post and the effort I think we will be better off if you continue only lurking.

I know right? Leave Christian Bale and Christian Slater alone!

There is a lot of spite in your comment bro.

I don’t know, they are pretty fucking cheap.

Thank you for such s measured response. Many developers would want to see any manager burn in hell as they tend to feel like they always know better. And while on a technical level that might be and if is true, on other levels a good manager can have a massive impact.

That is not overtime, it is during normal working hours.

This guy kinks
