I’ve heard that people leaving Amazon do so because of the environment/culture there, even though Amazon pays very well.

Is biking not an option?

That costs as much as my 840 EVO (120 GB) did in 2014.

Especially when ChatGPT bots are on the rise… Reddit couldn’t have picked a worse time to alienate the BotDefense team.

I’ve found it useful for generating regexes and document outlines.

The mods of a gaming sub I frequent marked it as NSFW to prevent Reddit from earning ad revenue. There’s some discontent from a vocal minority of users about the change.

I made a bot to repost official announcements for a game I play. Ideally, a day will come where the company makes the announcements themselves on Lemmy and my bot is no longer needed, but until then, the owner of the sub has granted me permission to use my bot.

My bot makes about one or two posts per day. Other people in this thread have mentioned certain bots making posts every couple minutes, which many people would find quite excessive.

Voat, a previous Reddit competitor, managed to survive for years, even though it attracted a much more niche audience than Lemmy.

The actions of the admins after the initial blackout were why I moved over to Lemmy.

It’s sad that power mods like Turtle have made many people think that all mods are like him.

The mods for the sub of a popular game I play are getting shit on for protesting against Reddit by people who think the mods merely want power. No power mod has ever put thousands of hours into creating free helper apps or maintaining a game wiki.

Voat came out in 2014 and was kinda big for a while. I used it for a few weeks, but activity started dying down and I didn’t think about it again until I found out it was being shut down in 2020. The Wikipedia article says many of the users migrated from subreddits on the right of the political spectrum, so maybe that’s why.

This time it’s different, though. The recent drama affects way more than just a couple subreddits.

I think the women and children were below deck for protection against the elements, not to increase the chance of men surviving. On top of that, men are also more likely to know how to swim than women and children.

I’ve heard that if the sub imploded that they’d have died instantly.
