Well, he doesn’t need a many as he used to…

My Gen Z son says these are Alphas and he doesn’t want to be associated with them.

You don’t think that Lemmy and Reddit can both fail to meet expectations?

This is clearly by design.

I mean, if you’re being invaded, doesn’t anything you do to fight back count as “defense”?

I know how everyone just wants to pipe up and say, “well it didn’t crush me hur hur”, but I actually watched the video. It’s a good record of what went down. I wish it would’ve mentioned Reddit alternatives, but it’s still solid work.

And to anyone who still maintains that the protest has fatally wounded Reddit, look, I’m on your side but Reddit is still the 800 lb gorilla of link aggregation, and most folks still don’t get why they should care about API pricing.

That’s an interesting principled stance. How should musicians provide for their familes?

Go home, Joe. You’re drunk.

I have never before encountered someone who used the word “bourgeoisie” unironically. So cute! Now say something about the proletariat and the means of production!
