Very appropriate in this case:
How did you post from kbin.social to lemmy.ml?!?
In the early Internet days I recall the theories were that the ‘World Wide Web’ was literally just that, a trap to catch people and ‘internet’ being jokingly referred to as being ‘into-the-net’ with similar meaning. At the time those concepts referred more to Internet addiction but now I find it strange that it’s come back around to the whole idea of us all being trapped in the corporate web with no escape whilst they leech off our rights and privacy as we lie helpless and despondent.
Catchiest: Adventure Time
Memorable: Game of Thrones (are /r/freefolk here yet?)
Favourite: Futurama - watched every single one for the different slogans and classic cartoon clips
and then everyone applauded
In the Shire it’s known as eating Lembass

At a similar time as The Verge was threatened I noticed some articles changed their tune and switched to downplaying the Reddit situation. The one I recall is Gizmodo reporting that Reddit traffic was back to normal.
It’ll be interesting to see how things play out at the end of this week when the 3rd Party Apps go offline, but to be honest I’m happy to say my new home is Kbin.social and don’t see the need for an active Reddit account, though I may lurk from time to time if I’m looking for some particular information that’s not yet on Kbin.
The game changer for Fediverse is stable mobile applications, once the Apollo shaped hole on my phone is filled I think it’ll be pretty much a drop-in replacement.
