Marketing Dept: Hey Mr Spez, we look like losers because no one wants to use this buggy restrictive piece of shit app that we made. How much should we invest in developing a better app?
Spez: INVEST NOTHING!!! I have a much better solution… have every other app in the world killed! THE PEONS WILL TAKE WHAT WE GIVE THEM AND LIKE IT!!! (insert maniacal super villainous laughter)
Revolt ehh? TAKE AWAY THEIR GOLD
“Not your server, not your gold.”
They’ve announced that gold is being replaced by some NFT/cryptocurrency shit.
More good place memes please.
Also more Scruffy memes please
Many of us knew back with the firing of Victoria and Pao the sacrificial lamb, but June 12th truly sealed their fate. About forking time.
you can’t fork it, it’s proprietary software
Lol it’s a Good Place reference where they aren’t able to say fuck
Whoosh
i didnt get that reference
Didn’t Reddit opensource a lot of its stuff several years ago?
They may be closed now, but I think a lot was opened. There was a while when clones were becoming pretty popular.
really!?!?
Spez is a fire squid
What’s wrong with squids :(

Wait what? What happened?
Nothing happend at Reddit Frontpage on June 12, 2023. The so called “protests” is a hoax invented by the Lemmy devs attempting to discredit our wonderful platform. The “purge of moderators” never happened, not one single moderator was purged. And those who did get purged are
violent riotersinternet vandals. Reddit is the greatest platform ever, and Lemmy is filled with racists and spammers and ads and evil developers trying censor posts and take away user freedom. Long live CEO Spaz! May his wisdom guide us towards a better future!/s
Resigned former mod here. Just want to say I appreciate this lol.
You went Tiananmen Square on it.
What square? You mean the place where it’s famous for nothing ever happening? Just like nothing ever happened on Reddit. 😉
I wanna learn how to do this on the fly now. Perfect way to give TTRPG players info without telling them :D Thanks for the inspiration!
They’re replacing gold with “Community Points”, which are of course built on THE BLOCKCHAIN and are specific to the subreddit, but also if you get enough you can have more direct control over the subreddit or… something?
Mostly it sounds like a thinly veiled system designed to let people spend money to buy influence over a subreddit. But hey, it’s crypto-based so that makes it cool, right?
Holy shit… If people can buy influence, then the political nutbags that already influence social media through bot accounts will now be able to directly use their money to further push their agendas unfettered… I am so glad I jumped ship when I did.
Likewise. Pretty sure it’s heading exactly where we think it’s heading.
“All aboard! The express train to bot town is now loading!”
This is a joke even to crypto bros. The whole point of a blockchain is to resist censorship; slapping it on top of an already centralized server accomplishes nothing because it still has a weak point. Try making a revolutionary subreddit and see how long it lasts.
We need a decentralized system, but the servers don’t need to sync up in perfect lockstep like the monetary system does. Anybody who understands these things should be using Lemmy!
Finally deleted my account over this, haven’t touched it otherwise in a while and have been using Lemmy instead, but this pushed me over the edge.
Yes I want to know too
Found it: https://816am.ddns.net/post/6468
Fuckin wild shit lmao. So glad I’m not there anymore
Lol June 12 is referring to the day when the blackout began, although this post just so happens to coincide with yet another one of that shitty website’s stupid decisions.
Yea I’m an idiot with zero reading comprehension lmao.
Some of the few subs on
I still cared to visit never recovered from the blackout. Which is probably just as planned or at least a stroke of luck for the admins. 
Stormfront? 🤨😬
what happened in that moment on the show?
HUGE SEASON 1 SPOILERS for [The Good Place], CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK:
spoiler
The 4 main characters were mistakenly seleted to go to the “Good Place”, which is like the biblical “heaven”. It’s a place where good people go to enjoy the afterlife.
This is the moment where one of the characters (Eleanor Shellstrop, the one in the image) realize that the so called “Good Place” they’ve been in is actually the “Bad Place” similar to the biblical “hell” and the whole “mistakenly selected to be in the Good Place” is a clever ploy to “torture” the 4 main characters.
You fucked up the spoiler tag.
Must be using an app. Honestly, I view all Lemmy apps as testing software, they’re all unstable at the moment. The browser ui works just fine.
Works fine in Jerboa. They must be using an inferior app.
Yep. Looks good on the site, doesn’t work in the app. I checked.
In sync it appears to interpret the line break as an interrupting character, and it would need the tags at the end of the first paragraph and the beginning of the second to function. I think. Not sure.
He done fixed it though if what you’re saying is true. It’s working for me plenty fine
Ted Danson does the very best evil laugh he can muster
And he mustered very well! Man, I miss that show!
I finally finished it a month or so ago after trying it a few times. I did enjoy it a lot! D’Arcy Carden is a gosh dang treasure. I don’t think anything made me laugh harder than the Janet(s) episode.
Not a treasure
Yes you are, Janet!
Yeah, I couldn’t agree more on D’Arcy!
