I need some more sports communities. NFL, CFB, football/soccer, NBA, MLB, Hockey, etc. A lot of the very niche ones like certain anime (r/onepiece, r/kingdom, r/hunterxhunter) or book (r/asoiaf, r/stormlight_archive) or game (r/deadbydaylight, r/stellaris, r/EU4) probably aren’t going to get high enough populations to exist here so i don’t expect it. But I need the sport specific ones

Musk set a goal of making half of Twitter’s revenue subscription-based, but his revamped Twitter Blue subscription service got off to a slow start. As the NYT report said, reversing the decline in advertising “is crucial because ads have long made up 90 percent of the company’s revenue.”

Well it looks like he’s well on his way to succeeding in that goal if the ad revenue keeps dropping

Is it possible to message on mastodon and peertube with lemmy (or is it only through kbin currently)? I was trying to figure out how that worked but had some difficulty

That fact that’s considered a boomer take makes me sad

I quite liked them at first but how many do we need? It’s become so over saturated and I’ve long burned out of the genre.

Is there any way to subscribe to content creators on tilvids from my lemmy instance? Just out of curiosity

I agree in 98% of cases. There are some cases (and this is splitting hairs so i apologize) where i’m fine with it. I think preservation for some near lost media that hasn’t been purchasable for a long time (and maybe is tied to 30-40 year old hardware that isn’t supported or buyable from the producing company anymore) i think is an exception i’m willing to make. This is particularly prevalent to older games that are tied to long defunct devices that aren’t supported anymore like very old dos games.

But I’m also of the opinion those things shouldn’t have to be “pirated” in the first place and if you haven’t offered the ability to acquire it legally in decades it should fall into public domain.

I have front end and back end experience but work has me kind of bogged down this week. If nobody has stepped up by Sunday I should be free to start taking a look at it at the very least.

Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that’s fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out

I haven’t completely left, and to be honest the only way I’d completely leave is if the niche communities I cared about died (or were active here). That being said I’ve noticed my reddit usage has plummeted over the last week. I used to basically live on that dumb site and now I only check it maybe once or twice a day for a couple minutes
