congratulations and best wishes for a continued speedy recovery. your gratitude touches my heart - thank you.
i had this question a couple of days ago and today fell totally down the fuck spez rabbithole.
found myself on the main discord where the coordinators were talking to uruguay about doing the "u" after columbia (?) declined. guess hearing that, both uruguay and equador wanted in.
there was discussion of not stepping over the swiss flag in one of the letter because they were part of the coalition.
these folks are dedicated - many commented they hadn't really slept since it went live. kudos to all of them for the passion they showed today.
tbh it was impressive and one of the best executed operations i've seen in a long time. very fun to see up close.
working for a global multinational company i only wish we were this efficient internally ❤️
This is her fan and she knows when it's hot to go over and cool herself.
Whipped cream & strawberries between fluffy slices of shokupan is highly underrated as dinner.
Traveling for business and got this delivered via grub hub. Total shot in the dark as to whether it was going to be any good or not. Can honestly say its the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. Sunday sighs of contentment.
hopefully whatever you were making with that sour cream will survive the beef rawhide replacement 🤣
welcome to you and everyone else coming over! looking forward to great shenanigans.
this ^^. even if we peel off 5% in a relatively even scrape across all the interests that's enough content for me to scratch the itch daily.
fwiw i work with a bunch of former ibmers.
super super nice people who are crazy smart.
but think something in their brains got wired differently when they worked there - they just build all sorts of amazing stuff without thinking about the strategy for it. who will use it, in what scenarios, how will it be supported once interest surpasses cycles of the creator.
not all indicative of the companies history or current reputation but interesting to see at the micro level
wonder if regular carpet bombing the open subs with a black "Reddit is killing third-party app (and itself)" might be effective? gives the mods an "out" because it's not against TOS - and if it were widespread enough eventually a few of them will hit front page
I'm taking the same mindset - curating social media vs big gulping it. Thank you spez and elon for me reboot.
think the difference is community vs attention (or lack there of). while i personally am not currently looking for the latter, don't think i appreciated how much i enjoy the former until this whole spez driven melt down happened.
am sure things will evolve as they're meant to, in the meantime just happy to be here.
the other thing to consider with low effort, duplication of memes is the server overhead. one thing to burn corporate coffers with the same people of walmart and cat tropes but this kind of stuff burns server and storage resources.
for a corporate entity looking to make billions off our data that's the cost of doing business -- but for lemmy server admins it's a truly personal cost.
imo we should be respectful of our "homes" and try not to trash them with low value content.
agree about the differences between here and the alien. there's civility and discourse here - a good amount of fun - a sense of newness yet familiar. ive engaged more here than i have in 4 years on reddit - thanks all to a great community and gracious hosts running these servers ❤️
agree with what everyone else has said here. worry less about "should" and go find your tribe wherever it may be.
as i once said to a friend who contemplated the same kind of move years ago, if it doesn't work out you can always move back. not like it's a one way street.
