I’ve seen way too many one-days in Greece to get excited…

Unfortunately a one-day strike is not a problem for the system which is why they usually don’t lead to anything. Do an indefinite one and then see.

At least you can do that on reddit.

You literally can’t. People have deleted their whole comment histories and have them restored by reddit admins.

Everyone has to kiss the ring. They know who their class allies are.

Meh

Met a guy at the local boardgame event. Got to talking about how he was always driven out of gaming groups and nobody invites him anymore and a lot more of “oh woe is me” stuff. I recognized a bit of my younger self in him and how used the same schtick to get sympathy and social interaction before I learned how toxic this behaviour is. I wanted to try and mentor him out of this self-defeating behaviour so I invited him to my place.

When he came in treated my family like a complete asshole. Couldn’t make them suffer for one dude.

I don’t even think you need even a bot for that. Just grab the relevant RSS

This is completely unsurprising tbh. A lot of the old mods were enthusiasts who grew a community from scratch due to their love for the subject. In the reddit API shutdown, a lot of those mods left in disgust, or were replaced by the reddit admins, or were driven off by the leftover toxic userbase calling them “entitled jannies” or whatever. A lot of the mods who took over their place were just power-hungry users who were chomping at the bit to get the chance to run a big community as their personal fiefdom because they were too toxic to grow one themselves.

This is the inevitable culmination of these events.

Anyway, welcome to lemmy. We become more powerful from every user who writes off reddit forever.

PS: if you see power-trippin’ behaviour around these parts, you can always post about it in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.

“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”

Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.

I read most of it until I reached the point where it’s a slow-burn advertisement for their own AI assistant

Or mastodon. But estabilished news media sites never mention non-VC backed solutions if they can help it.

Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good

For now. They’re still in their growth phase. If they ever become dominant and they need to make money, they’ll turn into a walled garden like every other. Everyone seems to forget that Twitter, Reddit and Facebook were also all about openness at the start

Btw, have you played something like Hades? You’re not technically a wizard, but close enough. And there’s other hades-like games which might be more “wizard-like”.

Oh man, that’s really sad :(

Badass wizard eh? Try Magicka! 😁

They have clearly internalized the pervasive trope that leftists will vote for them, because they have no other choice, so the only thing that matters to convince is the right. Looks like they calculated wrong.

It’s an ongoing spam wave

Still 404 on my end

They did run a revolt server for a while, but they apparently had to revert back to discord for reasons.
