      The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.

        It’s also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there’s enough people to discuss “anime” or “games”, but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.

        That’ll get better in time too, I believe.

          Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.

      Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

    You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.

    I’m worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.

      When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).

    Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he’s just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.

    LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying…

    He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.

    My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn’t properly test a product for a video):

    I don’t know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people’s time.

      Didn’t he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn’t make for a good boss.

      Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. Gamers Nexus The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

      When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn’t say “oh well”, and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren’t happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like “corpa boss” to me. Now I can’t tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.
