Let's do this every week! Super fun and a great atmosphere in here. I'm not going back to reddit. I was there 12 years, and saw it slip just like I saw digg slip before it. Let's keep this going while we wait for others to see the obvious - once the people who create the best content leave there's no reason to stay there.

I'm staying here, man. Reddit gets worse with every year, and I'm perfectly happy to talk way too much over here instead of over there.

Historically, no one has EVER beat an ass more than Cannonier at middleweight, and yet somehow Vettori is still here. That dude probably lost 2 or 3 years off his career tonight, though.

I'm really sorry about your money, @TummyAcheHaver@kbin.social

I'd like to start a petition to replace Cruz with Laura Sanko. I think it'd be nice to get a former female fighter's opinion in there, and she's well spoke and deserves it.

Cruz absolutely creaming himself over Keith Peterson making a mistake, lol.

I find it incredible how different I feel about certain books/series now vs how I felt about them 15 or 20 years ago. What sort of major changes have happened to your tastes during your fantasy journey?

I used to own every single Wheel of Time book and spent all my time on wotmania.com, but I have zero desire to read them ever again. Honestly, classic epic fantasy just doesn't do it for me in general anymore.

I don't tend to get excited about the next Brandon Sanderson novel, but I was a huge proponent of him when he was signing copies of Elantris in my tiny Idaho mall.

It'd be great if Rothfuss, Lynch or Martin finished their series, but I used to rant and rave about wanting them and now I just move on to things that are done. I can wait, and in the case of Rothfuss I'm not 100% sure those books are going to finish nearly as strongly as I first thought.

I don't see any comments right now, but I believe you're right. I'm leaving my account open until reddit re-opens all the private subs, then I'll do it again.

Power Delete Suite: https://codepen.io/j0be/full/WMBWOW/ Just create a bookmark, then open that bookmark while you're in your user profile

Be sure to remove as much as you can and heavily encourage heavy contributors to delete their comment history. They have no value without our data.

[-] theusualuser@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Here I am! Deleted all 1700+ comments from my account today and I'll check back to make sure Reddit doesn't try to reinstate them.

[-] theusualuser@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's digg all over again, for those of us pioneers old enough to remember our first migration.

[-] theusualuser@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

By and large I don't feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I'll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I'll never use that garbage reddit app.

It'd be nice to start a thread that has a lot of info for people who are looking for reviews or recommendations.

For instance, https://sff180.com/ does a solid job, particularly with their youtube channel, of keeping me informed about books that are coming out. Where do you go for your info?
