Really looking very "investor focused" 🤢

Alexis Ohanian, founder of rival site Reddit, said in an open letter to Rose (of Digg):

this new version of digg reeks of VC meddling. It's cobbling together features from more popular sites and departing from the core of digg, which was to "give the power back to the people."

Time really is a flat circle.

Also I only made that top comment to test Lemmy/Mastodon interaction. Hi from Mastodon! The fediverse is cool!

I'd not say a flat circle.

Mark Twain has this wonderful quote - "History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes."

Yup, if you don't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it.

Sisko : [on the image of his dead wife] I don't know if you can understand. I see her like this, every time I close my eyes. In the darkness, in the blink of an eye, I see her... like this.
Prophet : None of your past experiences helped prepare you for this consequence.
Sisko : And I have never figured out how to live without her.
Prophet : So, you choose to exist here.
[Sisko nods]
Prophet : It is not linear.
Sisko : [sobs] No. It's not linear.

How are you commenting on a thread from mastodon?

[-] bdonvr@mastodon.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

@luna just paste a lemmy URL into the search bar of a Mastodon client! They all run on the same backend basically. That's the magic of the Fediverse/ActivityPub

[-] luna@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That is so, so cool, thank you!
