How incredibly undemocratic

Well once you have the basics and buy all of the QoL improvements to make your experience not miserable.

Fuckin zoomer work ethic.

Honestly, my only use case for reddit currently is as an archive for my questions that likely have answers on reddit. A reddit archive Lemmy instance would allow me to completely stop usage of reddit, easily. I'd imagine there are a lot in the same boat.

Not sure that it's even a feasible option, but it would be welcomed. If anyone has some suggestions to solve this use case I'd be interested to hear it.

I feel that the last year has been awful for the assistant. We have a google nest mini or w/e in the bedroom, and I can't snooze my alarm for 10min without it shitting the bed and setting off the alarm, while also asking me if I meant 10am or pm (as if I'm setting a new alarm). To be clear, I can snooze for 9 or 11 minutes just fine. But 10 minutes is no good.

A sad, single sprout. Looks tasty, though.

I think the key was he had done it a few times before. Only difference being an "ok" message and a thumbs up emoji.

Honestly, I just TP from the current dungeon I'm in. Pretty familiar with them all by now. The extra 5-10seconds to run to certain vendors or stash just really doesn't matter that much, imo.

I think the largest assumption you are making is that the OP does business with the EU. If they do not, they are truly out of the jurisdiction of GDPR and wouldn't be finding themselves on that list. Those fines you are referring to a multinational corps that definitely do a lot of business within the EU.

God I hate that "Oh I'm so adhd" writing style. But thanks for the detail.

I mean - it was a ~6% drop...Most of which is probably back by now. The visit duration was a decently significant drop at about 10%, but that will surely return to normal as more subreddits open back up. I doubt reddit is going anywhere, or will even make any substantial changes resulting from the protest.

Overall, I'm unlikely to go back. Not necessarily to hurt reddit or anything, but because fediverse alternatives seem pretty reasonable without ads that will be forced on users now that reddit third party API calls are basically gutted. The infrastructure is here to make something good. Hopefully the turnout will stick around and increase beyond the initial influx of users from the protest. I will say that, of the various "exodus" episodes of reddit's lifetime, this seems more impactful. I think mainly due to the alternatives actually being present. Earlier attempts at exodus fell short because there was simply nothing similar out there.
