I’m kind of expecting Threads to be stillborn but that might just be the post Google Plus in me

I’m normier than the listed demographics and find the Fediverse and it’s associated jargon to be inline with 4 dimensional crochet in terms of ease of use

To make myself clear I’d rather be confused about lemmy servers than ever, ever use Discord as a wiki

I agree in theory, lemmy becoming a capable scroll-when-bored service in general is gonna be the thing that increases the user base and retention. But hosting videos is dummy expensive and the fediverse is idealogically opposed to the advertising that would pay for that.

Offloading videos to YouTube or something similar and embedding them would be just fine for me, I like the idea of videos being on YouTube instead of being kind of orphaned in that liminal, unsearchable twilight zone of Social Media Video Hosting anyway

The subs for games like Street Fighter, the sub for fight sticks, the kind of semi-niche gaming communities that snowballed because of Reddit’s ubiquity

I’d left a thermos of ramen in my locker for an entire school year in middle school. First year of me having depression lmao

It smelled like if you concentrated the juice in a dumpster. Absolutely satanic sensation

Reddit was the bandaid that let people actually find anything on search engines and now it’s getting gutted for the same reason search engines were. I think the fediverse’s complete aversion to advertising and business in general is going to be what insulates them from whatever the hell is happening to commercial social media

I am surprised you cleaned it out instead of like, burning it to ash with thermite

I’ve heard murmurs of how gnarly paper mills smell, but how would you describe it personally? Paper doesn’t intuitively seem like something that would smell like shit

Been going absolutely Unga bunga mode in Street Fighter 6. Just a way more playable, intuitive game than the previous entry was.

Also playing We Love Katamari Rerolled. Gonna pick up Pikmin 4 on release most likely.
