Anybody else remember the $2000 gold plated hdmi cable on amazon? The reviews were wild lol.

I’m sure the advertisers are going to love that.

Confirmed Slide no longer works either and unistalled it from my phone. So long reddit, it was fun (but utimately misguided of me to invest time/attention towards it).

Hello Lemmy, you hot new thing!

Yes! 2010: the year we make contact (or something). It’s pretty good, different director.

I think because the federation isn’t profit motivated it won’t become enshittified which is what drives people away.

I know it will get better and evolve. I’m excitied to see how it evolves over time.

It’s definately a classic. The sequel is good too.

I saw that Sync and Slide were going to be ported. Didn’t know about the rest. This is awesome!

Ah yes further proof that companies don’t give a fuck about anything ixcept making more money.

This is least painful/scary way for them to die. It’d be an instantaneous death.

Maybe the article title was a bit hyperbolic, but the company is still around so someoni finds it useful

If you can donate some money to the lemmy developers and your instance.

Anyway that stuff doesn’t matter. What matters is it was pretty clear and mostly agreed that the internet works best when we use open protocols and not hide community generated content behind login screens and apps. We agreed to continue to participate in adding to the global knowledge as long as everyone played nice and allowed the content we put in for free, can be indexed, RSS’d, shared and scraped. This way anyone can find it and benefit from it.

This to me is the worst part of the enshittification of reddit. All that human interaction and knowledge base is “owned” and controlled by a profit driven entity. Reddit hasn’t done it yet, but I think the time is approaching when they gatekeep all that data behind a login, which will prevent it from showing up in google searches.

Bringing this full circle. Federated apps feel like the logical next steps. I think this path is the correct one.

Lemmy is only four years oldand will continue to get better. There will be other projects (kbin, plebbit to name a few) trying to accomplish the same thing as lemmy, exploration is good. It’s an exciting time for social media.

I also will never install the official reddit app. I’m trying to move away from reddit altogether for various reasons.

I created this account this morning and am writing this message on Jerboa (got it off fdroid). So far so good!
