I miss the piracy communities. The recent changes have pushed me back to reddit. Do with that what you will.
Edit: point taken, don't criticize instances or their moderators for anything they do unless you want to be crucified. They are above the law, their decisions to be made without criticism. Thanks for the lesson, assholes, you're really selling the return to reddit hard right now.
Yeah, every time the mods get power hungry just migrate all your subscriptions. Super easy. Better hope the next instance isn't also blocking some of your communities.
I literally said it pushed me back to reddit? I'm just not going to do the manual work of migrating to a new instance every time the current one's mods get rid of a community I'm interested in, simple as that.
So far that's what I've been doing, but apparently that's the wrong move according to some people lol. I guess you can take the redditor out of reddit, but you can't take reddit out of the redditor XD
Nah, right now, using your analogy, it's a pie stand. Like a lemonade stand, but for free pie. The neighbors can come around if they want for free pie. As I'm walking by, they're asking the neighbors for help: too many people want free pie, they can't make pies fast enough. I like their pies, I like that they're free, but lately they just haven't been having what I'm looking for.
I say to one of their neighbors, "their pies tasted better when they were using real sugar, but they're scared the kids' mommies will be mad because their kids are up all night so they just took the sugar out. Didn't even replace it with anything. The Johnson's still use real sugar, they don't care."
I start to walk away to get a Johnson pie and now all the neighbors are angry with me that I prefer pie with sugar. They say I should be THANKFUL for the charity work from the neighbors I didn't fucking ask for. That, just because it's volunteer work, that makes them above criticism. Everyone else is happy with it, so I should be too.
I'm thankful for the mods and their volunteer work. I can still disagree with decisions they make. Really not hard to understand.
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.
This is me, too. The alternative seems to be Spotify (also going shitty) or self hosting. I miss the hell out of gpm, but ytm at least works and it comes with ad free YouTube. Not the worst deal out there
You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

How did we switched from "Dinosaur are giant lizards" to "Dinosaur are giant birds"
When I was a kid, I learned about Dinosaur being "giant lizard", and it's been may-be 10 years, that I hear "Birds are dinosaurs"....
