I never thought I’d say it, but I don’t even use YouTube anymore. I might go there once a month to watch a tute, but only if I absolutely can’t find help from any other website.

Why weren’t any of us invited? Fucking selfish, bro.

Well, I disagree. I didn’t touch Reddit for a year and finally went back about a month ago.

• THE ADS. Fuck me, the ads now!

• The corporate plug-ins. I had a legit, verified business comment on my post and then PM me after it.

• The videos freeze more often than makes me comfortable clicking on them.

• The pop-up trash now; “follow this”, “click here”, “did you know”, “ICYMI”. The U.I looks like Yahoo’s home page now.

Is it dying? I don’t know. Is it exhibiting every square inch of desperation, turning the corner from what was once cool, to what is now every pixel monetised and sponsored? Yup!

If you stick it out here for long enough, three things will change.

  1. You’ll begin to really like it here. It’s different but it grows on you, and it’s growing with its users.
  2. Your addiction to these noticeboard-type socials will dramatically reduce. There’s something about Lemmy that’s less addictive in a good way.
  3. You’ll eventually go back to Reddit and see it with new eyes, realising just how quickly it’s dying.

When I’m hanging out with the lads I like to announce that I’m going for an [insert friend’s name] out of my [insert other friend’s name].

I’ve gotta push a Steve out of my Bradley.

Linux users and vegetarians. Neither can shut the fuck up. Both have made it their identity.

Are you a Linux user?

Hey everyone, shut up! This guy is a Linux user and he’s here to tell us about using Linux.

Piece of shit doesn’t contact piece of shit about piece of shit, shot by piece of shit.

Personally, I think every woman should go to jail for keeping her eggs in her ovaries. That’s child imprisonment.

How dare they.

"Look how generous and righteous I am"

Also Drake. Also Shaq.

Both give away heaps of money… but only in front of heaps of planned cameras rolling.

That’s not charity. That’s using the poor for PR and clicks for profit, no different from Bum Fights.

Change my mind.

When the war started it was seizure-this and sanction-that. I’ve read that $350B in Russian assets were seized and held, while major companies exited the Russian market, the ruble crashed, and inflation rocketed.

Meanwhile the cost of the Russian war must be astronomical to maintain, imports/exports have halted with Europe, there’s no financial aid to Russia (that I’m aware of) and multi-billion dollar resource supplies were cancelled.

All this, and Russia seems to still be having a good old time. Russians are on holidays en mass, the country is buying up arms and fossil fuels like its church Sunday, and their war machine still powers away and is prepared to keep fighting for a decade if it has to.

How? How does a country take that much of a financial beating and still be thriving? Where is the point of being broke and not being able to fund a war anymore?

 

Australia has a lot of foreign businesses and it has a lot of immigrants. Both earn Australian dollars and huge amounts would be sent back their country of origin.

His does Australia balance its books on something like this? How do the economics of it work? Would it lower Australian inflation but shortening the money supply, and raise inflation of the destination country as it prints more money to exchange the Australian dollar?

I hope I’m in the right place to post this.

I’m subbed to !afl@lemmy.world where there’s currently no posts. I’d like to kick things off and post something there but when I select ‘new post’, the loading wheel just spins indefinitely. Is that sub broken?

 

Is that what they call us? Lemmians?

I just shut down my Reddit. Farewell Apollo and u/iamthatis. You will both be sorely missed.

Anyway I’m here and this is my first post. I’m looking forward to seeing what Lemmy is and becomes.
