If you post something on the internet, there should be no expectation that it won’t be preserved for an arbitrary length of time. Same as how you can’t legally claim that you expect privacy while in public

I just keep thinking to myself, “it’s the end of an era”

Reddit has been the only social network I’ve used for 12 years. I’ve watched it go through so much change over the years, but it always felt like even at its worst, it showed its users more respect and gave them more control over what content they saw than any other social network out there. I am cautiously optimistic about the future of Lemmy, but it makes me sad to watch RiF and Reddit phase out of my life.

The fact that Jerboa makes me click an Imgur link rather than embedding the Imgur content under this post when I click it feels like a possible area for improvement.

I really appreciate how reasonable (IMO) the demands are in the stickied comment in that thread.

Honestly it would be a good business move to accept those terms exactly as presented in that stickied comment. Nothing unreasonable is being suggested there.

It’s important to note that there are some countries where even the rural communities have enough transit options that cars aren’t necessary. It’s less common, but it does exist.

Lmao imagine thinking of the volunteer labour who make your site successful as the enemy

I say this unironically: I have really missed the screenshots of completely unnuanced Robert Reich tweets since migrating to Lemmy.
