Damn he’s old….

…..looks in mirror…..

Damn he’s old too……

[–] breen@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Right? I watched him on TechTV as a kid, but then he turned into a douchey tech-bro and I haven't kept up - and now he looks like an old man!

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

I once listened to an episode of his tech-bro podcast and it hit me right in the childhood memories...

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

What the fuck happened to him? He looks old!

He looks like early 2000s Kevin Rose aged up to pretend he's 2020s Kevin Rose.

No thanks, people hop from centralized platform to centralized platform thinking things will be different.

Consolidated power, especially when fully captured by market forces, will always enshitify, the only out is federation.

I joined Reddit originally because Digg fuckin' sucked lol

[–] turnip@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Reddit used to be good, now its just another app nag whore.

  1. Find new niche media
  2. Enjoy
  3. More people join
  4. Media changes
  5. More people = more context = wider viewpoints = more infighting
  6. Media changes too much
  7. Look for alternatives
  8. Find new niche media
  9. Enjoy
  10. More people join......

I would append to #5: “= more ad revenue = more bending over for shareholders”

  1. Media changes too much because of enshitification.

Regular users are not the problem, for the most part, assuming decent moderation.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Massive assumption there lol

[–] jownz@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

Same. I was a Digg refuge when I joined Reddit as well. That redesign was totally ass!

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Many such cases

[–] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 11 points 5 days ago

And Kevin Rose was the killer the first time.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 23 points 6 days ago

Can we bully him into federating

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Guy should really move on.

[–] breen@lemmy.ca 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] unconsciousvoidling@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He looks like one.

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oooh, bring slashdot back too.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Slashdot is still around and has been for a while

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

All the progressives left and it's just libertarians now.

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well, Digg back then was better than Reddit is now, so I guess that's something.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Digg was never better than reddit.

[–] thoro@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

Yep. There's a reason I moved over even before the v4/2011 fiasco

/c/nottheonion

he's also a huge venture capitalist invested in ai too

Probably wouldn't get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn't mind another competitor to Reddit.

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

Fool me thrice...

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As far as centralized servers go I've always liked tildes.net as a reddit alternative.

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

Briefly joined Discuit during the Reddit API ruckus but I was already on Lemmy so I never stuck with it. It's been open sourced and the people seemed mostly pleasant so it seemed like it was on a reasonable path towards creating a good space.
