I wish we as a species would just drop this trend of having to eventually ruin a good thing just about every goddam time.

Just has to do with some central person/group seeing a big pay day. Most people have a price tag at which they would sell just about anything.

Well, people willing to pay for it must see some value in it, and obviously, they don't want to lose that value. So they will do anything for that, including fucking over people

Unfortunately our entire economic system relies on that.

I feel fine switching. I'll miss the deep history of reddit, but apparently the official app sucks for that too (afaik), so no great loss anyways. The community seems small but great here.

Does anyone know what's going on with Lemmy.ml? I can't access it and keep getting 502 errors when I try to check it on browser. Hopefully they're just working on their server because that was the instance where I had subscribed to stuff. It won't be a big deal if they're just gone, just an inconvenience.

If they are gone, already, it is somewhat worrying for the viability of Lemmy generally, because I don't want to lose my subscriptions and comments every time a server shuts down. I've made an account on beehaw and lemmy.world as well under the same username, and I probably will make ones under other popular instances just in case.

He is MUCH more diplomatic and polite than I would be.

Then again, he’s Canadian and I’m an American lol

Smart of him not to set the bridge on fire before he’s made it all the way across.

Props to The Verge and David Pierce for his coverage of the redditing in general. I have been critical of the Verge and Patel in the past, but since the big site changes I have been forced to admit that the changes have been for the better.
