Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

I think what I'm most sad about is losing easily searchable information. Finding an obsscure thread about some weird question I had is great. Maybe that will be preserved somehow. Idk. That and the more unhinged reddit posts and copypastas throughout history.

We'll have to start archiving and migrating

How long until we get the first Lemmy poop knife-level story?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well, there's no TIFU or AMA here, so...maybe a week after that happens?

PS - What's a potato?

And the lemmy equivalent of the jumper cable guy. Or the ol' switcharoo. Makes me sad to think of all the stuff that we are losing but there will be some interesting new legends, no doubt
