tumblr isn’t dead??

yar har

unlikely, imo

it’s one of the biggest instances, not really surprising that bad actors are targeting it

the thing is that we know that they will play dirty; all corporations play dirty, that’s the only way they get that big

cool, now we won’t be able to tell where our lives start and our jobs end

Pretty cool so far, replying from the app 🙂

but that’s not immediate and requires some work and effort (to figure out how federation works, to figure out how Lemmy works, to learn how to create an instance and to make one, to start over with an entirely new community); many on Reddit want the easiest path to get their content

which again, understandable, but still annoying to see

a lot of people back on Reddit could not give less of a shit about the issues and just want their content; they even see this as just mods powertripping again

it’s kind of annoying to see that, tbh, even if I sort of get it

fuck yes!!! finally!

Oh, cool; more reason to use Piped and Invidious lmao

if my boss called me a cute pet name, I’d fucking quit on the spot

bosses who like to act overly familiar and pretend that we are not in a contract where I am only doing labor for them to get paid are scary tbh; the “we’re one big family” act always has an implied “and I can disown you for literally any reason, especially if it’s convenient for me”

Though, take care to factcheck what you get from it; all it really is is just a word predictor, and it can be pretty good at confidently telling you absolute nonsense that sounds right

wow, holy shit that’s kind of a lot

good job on realizing that you had an issue and endeavoring to touch grass more often

good luck on your writing endeavors OP

definitely the case for some, lmao

understandable feeling, but Reddit does not care about that; you gotta hit their profit margin, which is what an indefinite blackout will do if it gets big enough

I hope it gets big enough

I expect a lot of people to go back, and I can’t deny that if too many people decide to go back I’ll probably drift away too; hoping that the blackouts are indefinite so people stay on here and get acclimated enough to decide that this is better than Reddit (or at least has more potential)

by who, though? Itself?

disagree on “the concept of police is good”

like I see what you think the police ideally should do, but the police never were about that, and you don’t need police (as in, the institution) to have that
