    Still a big deal. Having a company owned by Microsoft decide to pull out of using your site is gonna drive traffic elsewhere. Reddit is only as useful as the content produced by users on it.

    Ive tried both. I prefer Memmy. But i feel the Mlem devs are doing their best. Give them time. We will see some good competition between the two!

    Giving and receiving gold was surprisingly, one of my least favourite things. Someone gave me gold once and i felt beholden to say thank you? I didnt ask for it, i didnt comment in hopes of getting given “gold”. I never gave anyone else gold. Why would i give a shit about getting it myself? Its a fucking forum.

    I think the aesthetic and layout could be tweaked but im quite happily, happier than i was with reddit even, with how responsive and easy to use the UI is.

    Even typing a comment i have all these text and image options beneath the text box right now, i havent used them once but could see potential uses for them. In reddit i would have had to do some dumb shit with formatting to get that kinda stuff, so my posts and comments were just text with paragraphs and occasionally a picture.

    I may consider running my own federated instance at some point but we shall see!

    It wasn't pleasant before either, looking back. Everyone else has said it, conversations were so shallow. Every comment section filled with copy/paste, bot-like comments. “Thank you kind stranger” type shit which i found embarrassing to be honest, gave me second hand embarrassment reading it.

    Reposts multiple times a week. Low effort, unfunny shitposting. The same 3 questions on repeat seemingly everyday.

    Just look at r/askreddit and it says just about everything you need to know for even some of the niche subs.

    I kinda want it to die now.

    What we need is a group of “hackers” like lizard squad back in the day (yes the dumb hacker trend we had) to DOS or spam threads with bots. Or DOS reddit mods and admins of larger useless subs that arent considered critical resources for important real life shit.

    Yes im condoning dumb shit that got old over 10 years ago, but at this point… does it matter?? May aswell just be dicks with it.

    “i do think the blackouts are pointless”

    I think they have misconstrued youre line of thinking, they think that you meant any form of protest is pointless. When really you just thought that the one tactic used doesnt achieve much.

    Isn’t it funny how Reddit and Twitch are both screwing up.

    It is horrible. Obviously i use funny in a way that i dont think its actually funny.

    They feel they can get away with it because unfortunately in today socio-economical-political climate they CAN get away with it for the most part. Theres still gonna be twitch streamers who feel like they have no option but to continue streaming on that platform, and redditors who dont really care about the API change and dont mind New reddit & the official app.

    Those groups allow them to get away. They’ll die at some point, but not yet unfortunately.

    Its funny how both Reddit and Twitch announce API or policy changes that creates mass discussion within their respective communities regarding longevity and user experience. Both companies are doing shitty things for the $$$ and simultaneously creating mass exodus(es?) to other platforms. What I find most interesting, is the announcements were made during a similar time frame and both plan to implement their changes on July 1st. I think thats pretty suspect? Almost as if a shareholder has their hand in both their pockets making a big push at once. What are all of your thoughts on this? Im curious to hear some other perspectives!

    When i was younger, 12-15 years old i did a lot of sailing. I completed all the available dinghy RYA courses for me during this time but unfortunately I havent sailed since. And god do i miss it/have i missed it for years. I didn’t sail because I faced a lot of mental health issues. Im now 23. Havent sailed in 8 years. Have very little money, very little income, and growing want to get back on the water. I’ve been looking at apprenticeships and courses but I thought I’d ask here and also contribute to the community here. So, what would you guys recommend I do in regards to making this more integrated into my lifestyle?
