The last disc will be shipped on September 29th 2023 after 25 years of service.
After an incredible 25 year run, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that’s going to become increasingly difficult. Making 2023 our Final Season allows us to maintain our quality of service through the last day and go out on a high note.
I was a little disappointed when they notified me of the shutdown, then I started using the public library for DVDs. Great selection, I can get a lot more out at one time, and the discs are in much better shape. And free. Yes I know about taxes.
I doubt you’re going to get the same pedantry you would get on Reddit here, about taxes. I think the majority of Lemmy users are educated and lean left politically
I doubt it, honestly. The people who are still pissy over at reddit don’t actually want to leave unless they’re presented with a reddit clone that has both a fully developed app and a huge userbase. Maybe in a year things will be different, but we’ll see.
