Go to the doc and get checked out. It could be anything from cancer to an anal fissure.
Even if it's not life threatening it will slowly get worse and the surgery to fix it if it does is one of the most painful experiences you can have. Better to address a hemorrhoid or fissure now using the various creams you can apply yourself rather than that.
No no no it's just China doing you a solid and backing up your sensitive information just in case you lose your phone. It uses Blockchain technology where if you ever need it back they just block you.
Personally I don't care about the soccer moms, my main concern is all the problems that come with being a mainstream social media platform. Threads threatens to overwhelm the content being generated with all those problems where your Lemmy feed is just going to represent Instagram etc again. Screw that.
The likes of Spez were just not that intelligent enough to figure out how to make Reddit pay before the VCs called in the investments. Not that it's an easy problem to solve, but if you're going to take on money like Reddit did you sure as hell needed a better plan then leaving it up to later to figure out. Amazon had a plan clearly, Reddit did not.
Also, what Reddit is now doing mimics a little of what Facebook did too, the enshitification of your feeds (just look at the app). They're just hoping Reddit is as addictive as Facebook is and you'll stick around regardless. I wonder if they recent;y hired some new advisers that told them to make these recent changes too?
What I'm saying is that while tiny communities are great, the fact that they haven't moved to a federated platform yet doesn't really matter. Anybody, including yourself, can start up those communities on the Fediverse and curate them if there is enough of a reason to do so or just continue to engage them on Reddit too.
I see something similar in a lot of tech-related threads too.
Just check out posts and comments about Corsair and AMD in particular. There is often no room for logic, facts or debate around their products on Reddit. Rather, threads feel like you're stuck in a marketing promo event where everyone feels the products are great and fantastic and can do no wrong. It's eerily like you're seeing a bunch of bots or paid shill accounts all talking to each other.
I tried it out but I didn't really like it that much. It seems to be good for most people though.

No. My time is worth more than 10k and I'd rather spend it doing stuff I like to do.
Most people won't gel with the free version though as it uses ASCII.
The challenge will be finding an actual traditional conservative instance that isn't also a pro-Nazi fascist shithole.
People are paid to work on it tho.
Paying people doesn't necessarily translate to what you might want from it.

I don't hate anybody but I do hate their random bad takes and opinions on things and I don't care about their families either.

They can keep their 60 million threads, most of that is complete trash anyway.
Interesting read.

With interest rates going up it's costing more and more to have borrowed money sitting in the likes of Reddit hoping for a nice payday one day.
We're not even using their software now. It shows the power of open source that all of this can coexist peacefully despite differing opinions.
On their own instance, that they run. So again, who cares?
Yeah indeed, discoverability is lacking in Lemmy at the moment.

Extremely rich man who is surrounded by yes-men and a society believing wealth equals success believes he doesn't do things wrong.
At least he genuinely believes that and it isn't a lie I guess.
It's debatable whether a lot of these smaller communities really provided much value outside the tiny userbase they have.
Besides, if someone wants to pick up the mantle on Lenny they are more than welcome to as well.
I'm happy with the amount of users and activity Lemmy currently has. It doesn't really need go grow though any means other than organically imo.
