I haven't played Myst since the 90s! Such a great game.
The fact that it's a wireless controller is what I really don't understand. Why would you want to risk interference, battery issues, etc?
What's sad is that back in the old days of Reddit, Reddiquette was actually a thing and people followed that rule more. In recent years, though, it feels like Reddiquette is completely dead.
Post any kind of dissenting opinion and you'll get downvoted into absolute oblivion. And I'm not just speaking about politics. You can write a well thought out comment in any sub that goes against the grain, and the culture is just totally to downvote for disagreement. I think my most downvoted comment of all time on Reddit was on r/juicing when I questioned whether carrot juice was actually effective for depression lol.
Can anyone tell me what the "196" community is? If I sort my feed by All, it gives me a ton of memes from there but I can't tell what it is.
Yeah, the niche subreddits are what I really hate to leave behind. I could care less about leaving r/politics, r/AskReddit, etc. But I'll miss r/EtrianOdyssey (niche video game series).
But we'll just have to create these communities on Lemmy. I'm in it for the long haul.
Even if it weren't nonprofit, it would be better run as a worker cooperative where the employees of Reddit made the decisions. Instead, its the capricious whims of Mr. u/spez
Awesome. The Linux community should be among the vanguard of this whole effort given our philosophy.
Honestly I've only been on Lemmy for a few days and I don't anticipate going back to Reddit. I'll probably use Reddit for IT help queries periodically but that's it. I like Lemmy quite a bit more.
I really like the policy of no downvotes. Honestly, even on Reddit I think downvoting had long ceased to serve any useful purpose, and turned into a harmful tool. Anything that truly is bad content can just be reported instead.
Wow, I honestly didn't even know it was still around! Maybe I'll poke my head back in. I used to play Eve back when SA had a big presence on there. It has been over a decade.
Wikipedia is another example. One of the most heavily visited websites, operated as a nonprofit. Obviously they don't only rely on donations from visitors, as they have a whole foundation. But they are a great example IMO.
I really hope that Reddit never becomes profitable despite all of their best efforts--at least as long as Steve is running it. He is so unprofessional and does not deserve to cash in. I hope he loses money slowly but surely due to his incompetent decisions, just as Lowtax did at SomethingAwful.
It's astounding that Prigozhin was so naive as to think that he could attempt a coup against Putin, and then simply retire in exile to Belarus. Everybody knew something like this would happen, except Prigozhin himself apparently. People have suffered 'unfortunate accidents' at the hands of Putin for far less.
