This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Is it because it's filled to the brim with old memes? That would make me want to leave a new place. Tried kbin social the other day and the first three pages were all full of the old memes being posted here and i spent half an hour or so trying to figure out how to filter them out but couldn't so I just uninstalled.
Yeah there was some boring fucking trend going around where people posted 10 year old memes. I had to block four or five communities to have a usable lemmy experience.
In some ways this whole thing feels like WoW classic. A lot of people trying to relive the internet of their youth, while not realizing things weren't actually that great back then either. I can haz cheesburger? What the fuck were we thinking.
To me that all felt very much like a Reddit thing. Somebody made a joke about that about posting old memes that was MAYBE mildly amusing, then everybody went ahead and killed the horse before beating it for 24 hours.
