You’re saying that with hindsight though. Everyone has their limit. They likely purchased Reddit premium before their personal limit was reached.
Really though, advocating for change doesn’t mean you need to stick your head in the sand and not make the slot of the world as it is today. That’s just a propaganda talking point because it’s lazier to call people hypocrites than it is to actually disprove their points.
… you get some amount of awards for free. You’re jumping to conclusions by assuming they paid for them.
Also, it has been less than 30 days since this fiasco began. So some people could still be subscribed from the before times. And a lot of people who did subscribe likely subscribed annually because it was significantly cheaper than month-to-month.
But leftists. Sure.
Let’s see how that works out for them.
Judging by the comments you get if you suggest switching away from Reddit, Reddit will do very well. I won’t be there, but they’ll be successful even if the site goes more to shit.
I hated her as a kid watching the show. But now I realize that I agree with her teleportation-is-murder-stance. I mean, it’s definitely murder.
Meta will try to have good content. Then they’ll add features rapidly calling them “standards”. The open source community won’t be able to keep up. Meta content will not work fully on Lemmy and other clients. People will migrate to meta controlled instances to keep the good content. The open source and community versions will end up being a pain and only for the true believers like Linux desktop.
No, but they both work for the same people.
A lot of practice amps have really nice cleans at bedroom volumes. Like not just acceptable but really really good. My teacher has this cheap $100 Marshall 8 inch practice amp and the cleans blow a way a lot of $1k amps… at bedroom volume.
How does this one sound clean, Doty, quiet and loud?
I’d honestly be happy if the people who are swayed away from Lemmy for that reason stayed away from Lemmy. I don’t at all agree with the developer there and anyone who posts that kind of thing is gross. But anyone sensitive enough to take that as a reason to stay away from Lemmy is super annoying and I’m happy they aren’t here.
Hey hey hey. I’m chronically online. That’s why I care enough to be here instead of Reddit!
I was actually ok with paying them $50 a year for ad-free before they started de-modding people for protesting. Now they can go fuck themselves. I am sympathetic to their need to be profitable. But effectively taking over subreddits is totally unacceptable and Reddit is no longer Reddit.
I’m saying that preliminary evidence is positive. The big unknown is the flavoring. And for some reason, vape flavor bans are include banning unflavored vapes and enforcing tobacco flavoring.
But to your point, I’m not making claims about the healthiness of vaping. You are. And you’re making it up.
Vapes are an order of magnitude less bad in terms of health outcomes than cigarettes. But cigarettes are catastrophically bad in terms of health outcomes. And that leaves vapes being moderately bad
You’re just making that up though. It’s not a fact.
The anti-vaping effort seems to be run by a lot of shallow thinkers who just think “cigarettes zomg!” I never would have been able to quit cigarettes without vaping. And now I’ve been totally nicotine and vape free for 5 years.
That was the last straw for me. I was considering buying premium so I could see Reddit ad-free without Apollo. I’m not totally unsympathetic to the reality that the user-bubble has burst and Reddit wants to make a profit. But giving money to a company run by spez felt bad. And if they actually go through with this plan then it won’t be Reddit anymore. At least not in the ways that matter to me. Now there’s no chance I’m going back.
It’s called “differently sanitied”, you monster!
