I had finally joined Twitter to see if there was anymore political people to find out about. Something like a week later Musk bought it and I deleted it.
I’m not even this huge like omg I hate musk. I don’t think I even have musk related comments. I just don’t trust big loud billionaires. Especially ones that made big deals about being too broke to help out with internt for Ukraine much longer while flying to moons and buying soapboxes and just generally being shitty
I go back for /nosleep all the time - the quality of the rest of the site has frankly dropped drastically.
People are still rioting so to speak, content just seems weak - as in I haven’t been on popular really since I joined lemmy, certainly not in weeks. Who can really trust those that didn’t care to be all that interesting?
The politics page is boring. The headlines say nothing. Seriously - maybe subtle now, but clear enough for a good chunk. At the very least, this didn’t just go away
Only damn bean thing I’ve laughed at
I read every word and couldn’t have written it better myself. It’s a perfect letter to every nasty money hoarding dragon out there…the grinches stuck in time that never reform. Just take and take and take, glad that we rebuild, because it just creates more to take
Been on the internet a long time myself…earliest chat I can remember is something called PowWow? We could see each other type in real time…same thing as the writer though…no bad memories…just kinda talked to whoever :)
I have two! I’ll stick with the quick gross one for now.
I work on a farm and typically walk around barefoot - it’s just easier to get around in general. So I’m in our greenhouse dedicated to tomatoes. It’s pretty big, about a hundred feet long and fifty feet wide, and it’s late July so this thing is just overgrown with huge tomato plants. But we’re a fairly small operation so while there are many plants - about 700 - they aren’t exactly strung up neatly. Just a veritable jungle of leaves, branches, green, ripe and rotten tomatoes everywhere. Including the floor.
So I’m in there pussyfooting and tip-toeing through openings of plants trying not to smoosh plants - or significantly worse yet step square into a rotten tomato - when it happens.
SQUISHHHHH
“BLECH!” I spit out recoiling my foot, scrunching my face and looking down, my disgust morphing to horror. Oh, if only I had stepped on a tomato and not a bloated, dead rat.
Can this multi-billionaire be more of a multi-billionaire than this multi-billionaire?
And who can hide it while flaunting it the best?
A lemmen a day keeps the nazis away
Brooooooooooooooo
Thank you. I’ve been letting the instance concept just kind of float by undetected figuring I didn’t need to understand it to navigate it I suppose. But I much prefer to understand :) thanks for the concise wording
Yeah, and they shut down the sister sights (OOC and nosleepfinder)
The stories aren’t getting much for upvotes anymore, but I’ve usually stuck with the archives. What’s killing me is not linking stories in nosleepfinder. That was my favorite pass time at night lol…my little bit of good in the world
I love how my subscribed are all in one list now, as opposed to have to select each one…other than that however, I honestly wouldn’t want to change much else. Somehow it makes it easier to explore. Reddit made it too easy to set in ritual…or it seems I’m hitting more topics here anyway
Oooooooh, do we get booted in here when it’s overloaded lol I’ve had an account since June 20th! Do you know who I am?? :))
Truly though, this is awesome. I hope the impact surpasses reddits wildest estimations. As most people it seems…I’m not a mod, don’t use a 3rd party ap and I’m not blind. I just paid attention.
I left…reddit honestly seems clunky now…I go back to watch it burn but it’s not burning enough :( maybe instead of John Oliver they should be posting dragons or something jeez
I don’t participate in any threads I just read nosleep lol
Actually I don’t read any threads other than bestofredditorupdates because I don’t trust the fodder of people that stuck around either!
