This is the kind of thing more appropriate for an UnethicalLifeProTips community lol.

Oh yeah, 100% with Yvonne and Teren. It’s kinda like Teren’s like “you hired me as CEO, now let me be CEO and back off.”

Unrelated hot take but the thumbnails don’t seem as egregious as others I’ve seen, but honestly I might’ve just gotten used to them, or I pay more attention to what he’s holding or something.

On another note, I do also hope things get better. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed in Linus’s own response in the video as he still victimized himself, but he said some things that seemed genuine after. Half the stuff about Billet labs I found reasonable but the rest seemed half-baked. Hats off to the rest of his staff and his CEO though—they were very genuine and not shy about taking accountability. I appreciate the CEO taking charge as he’s a much more sane voice than Linus in my opinion, and I appreciate Yvonne standing up.

no one’s been a douche to me (yet? Pls don’t start lol).

too bad, go to hell 😈

just kidding, happy to hear you’re having a good experience!

What in the world?

Gotcha. I haven’t been in the loop with beehaw and shitjustworks and everything like that, but I could picture that kind of drama happening.

The Threads stuff is also hella wack, people seem to have a ton of heavy opinions about it.

I do think the ability to filter different communities and stuff out is really valuable. I’ve had a few friends who (understandably) had pretty negative opinions on Reddit long before the API stuff, but I think a big part that they missed is how easily you could curate your Reddit feed, which made my experience much better. I did delete my Reddit account, but I wouldn’t find it unreasonable to believe that Reddit’s fairly the same way it was before the protest since lots of people still stick around and are just casual users who don’t care too much (and I don’t really blame them haha).

Jeez, lots of comments to look through! I’ll definitely take a peek some more but a pattern that I’ve noticed from the few comments I’ve skimmed through is that it seems like a lot of toxic people do show up, it’s just that individual instances are good at removing them.

I also haven’t been on Lemmy as much as I was on Reddit before I left, and I’m on a fairly small instance, so I guess that explains the lack of bigotry in my feed haha.

Haha, those are the best kinds of arguments.

I don’t think it’ll really become mainstream because honestly, a lot of people on Reddit and other platforms don’t really care about changes to the platforms. It’s frustrating but in the end, they’re just casual users and it won’t affect them that much, and that’s ok, we don’t need every single person to be an expert, yk. I do like the way the decentralized internet is now.

Also surprisingly haven’t come across bigotry yet haha.

xkcd 149

also shamelessly plugging !windows_help@iusearchlinux.fyi.
