Or we could fill the whole site with porn and gore as soon Reddit goes public to decrease shareholder value.

Ok, somewhat more radical element on lemmy it seems

That stuf is allready ther in plentiful amounts. I just wait till they announce they’ll bann nudity on the site and see them crumble like Tumblr

Is the permanent blackout a scheduled thing, or is it because all the apps will go down?

HooptyDooDooMeister@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Scheduled. It will function exactly how it's functioning right now.

I can't wait for the reddit servers to shit themselves again.

I think that was related to AWS having issues. Seemed to have happened at the same time.

considering the doubling down I think the number of communities committing to a perm blackout starting now is increasing as well.

It's not much but I put /r/switchroot on lockdown and don't know when I'm gonna bring it back up

Can you summarize for those of us who don’t want to step into that site again for now?

I’m hope this is true! Any sources?

Please I hope it continues I really love lemmy and jerboa is improving so much so fast these days thanks to accrued interest.

I know some people here would prefer for things to remain quiet but the potential of the fediverse is really under used let's grow this place and then fix the new problems that will come.

I came here to protest but stayed because it's a better alternative.

Holy shit the comments in that thread

Now that we moved off from reddit, can we stop with this sarcastic uppercase lowercase way of writing? I automatically skip any title written like that. It just takes so much cognitive effort to read

sombrero@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 3y

it's not a reddit thing

HooptyDooDooMeister@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Years of sarcastic tones being lost in text finally gets a solution.

But I feel ya. That multi-color sentence text thing kills me every time, and I refuse to read them.
