Yeah look at how every single conversation about supporting small businesses went on reddit. Users would rage day and night about the ills of megacorporations. But if you got them talking about supporting small business they’d come out of the woodwork to tell you they’re not paying a higher price. And with things being as tight as they are right now, that’s a logical conclusion. But it just goes to show that even if you sit someone down and explain to them that X thing they say they support absolutely cannot compete with the price of Y thing they say they hate - they will still side with their pocketbook 9/10 times
I don’t think you realize how incredibly short 10 years is in terms of investment recuperation. That’s not realistic unless you’re talking about abandoning capitalism all together, at which point the particulars of IP law are irrelevant
Individuals and small companies would never be able to compete with the resources of someone like Amazon
Then we just need to put ice cubes in the ocean. Plus that would help us cool the earth down
You lost a remnant of someone you cared about, so it makes sense even though it was bad for you in the long run
Reminds me of my local Rally’s switching to an “automated drive thru assistant.” The jank thing doesn’t even respond when you talk to it, just reminds you every 60 seconds that it’s ready when you are. First time I went I drove off. Went a second time thinking it might have been a fluke and I’d get actual human service. Nope. Guess I’ll be finding a new burger place for my hangovers
Hoping that one makes the transition myself. I would also love to see r/AcademicBiblical make the move. It was a great collection of resources and academic-level discussion of ancient judeo-christian religion. I mod three communities right now, and c/BiblicalStudies at !biblicalstudies@lemmy.world is the only one I made with the hopes of one day handing it off completely to someone with more expertise than me. Doesn’t have to be the reddit mods (I disagree with that idea), just someone better suited for that rigorous of a community
I can’t fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.
Something something lost like tears in the rain. (Blade Runner)
Just know that every generation before you and every generation after feels the same about their culture/experiences. C’est la vie
Humanity’s existed for hundreds of thousands of years without any kind of permanent medium, and we still do. It’s only in the very recent history of extreme archival that we’ve come to think that information should last forever.
Houses, cities, peoples, cultures, public works, countries, knowledge, technologies, languages - all that we are is ephemeral, and we’ll continue on
Third party apps were only the tip of the iceberg. The bigger issue is the increasing monetization of data and recommendations across the site. This whole thing is ultimately about who will shape the internet: users or corporations. That’s why it’s silly for people to pretend there’s a neutral opinion
Yeah after getting used to the not-totally-assholes community of lemmy I’m not going back to reddit. The community there kinda sucks

she needs to join a Mastodon instance for sewing but a different instance for knitting
Am I missing something? I thought Mastodon worked just like lemmy where you can subscribe cross-instance
It’s pretty insane the amount of work they did for free. I never even thought about the effort that went into a sub like that. Good for them
Is there a community for this?
