I was born in ‘76 so when the original came out it was a reflection upon the current world we were stuck with. For me it was “this is how we got where we are today. This is what they did to us.” Hearing this version, with so much history I’ve lived through and I’m still emotionally carrying around, is entirely different. I really appreciate this song and look forward to it being re-written every 30-40 years. Although, if “social media” gets wind of this, it’ll be remade every December and posted on TikTok.

First, I’m still new here so having to scroll past all the other comments to post a comment is lame.

Most relevant and importantly though, if you feel like your life is “disrupted” by the actions of a social media company, you might want to reassess your life.

I mean, are you serious? Think about the nature of this “issue”. Anyone of this mindset (aside from the developers who were not given enough time to deal with changes) strikes me as exceptionally childish.

What people should have a problem with is the vast number of bot accounts posting content to drive engagement. Reddit is trash. It’s full of click bait and rage bait just like very other “social media” entity.

What’s awesome here is the segment of people searching for smaller more supportive communities built around their hobbies and interests.

Hail to those who’ve been maintaining Vanilla Forums, etc and creating communities in the fediverse. You’re doing it because you care and believe in passions shared by your community.

So, not ‘Je t’aime moi non plus’? Is there a song more orgasmic?? Perhaps Madonna’s ‘Justify My Love’?
