I’ve heard of exactly 50% of these artists and don’t really know any of their music.

I’ll crawl back to Berlin where my Spotify Wrapped says I belong.

Yes, the American experiment with segregated uses continues to fail. The solutions have existed for millennia.

The sooner we accept this and move on, the sooner our cities can be the vibrant, healthy places they could’ve been a long time ago.

Oil/grease + tomato. Dawn.

Not sure how well this would work for Hawaiian cities, but San Francisco utilizes a network of cisterns in intersections that are ready to go if needed.

Old tech, but I’ve always found it a pretty brilliant idea.

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 I hope more people who continue to use that one outdated site read this article and finally ask themselves, “Why the fuck am I still sticking around this place?”

Where’s the square?

Yes! You made it over here!

This makes me happy.

Agree completely. It just makes it all sound much more complicated than it is in practice. I’m used to the fediverse now and my eyes glazed over reading all that.

Another issue I have with the article is that he doesn’t even touch on third-party apps, which are abundant and pretty damn robust considering how new they are. The fact that much of Reddit’s self immolation was directly due to their treatment of third-party apps. At least worth a paragraph in my opinion.

Otherwise, nice write up.

This picture is an absolute classic. Back in the day, that girl was depicted kicking every possible thing imaginable and then some.

I’ve yet to see an instance owner/admin behave in such a way to deserve such a gesture. It’s nice.

I believe this is the correct and uncontroversial explanation.

I could be wrong but I think he/she is looking forward to the day when the subscribed feed is busy enough to satisfy without having to visit all.
