Ok granted, that may be true. I wouldn’t be able to tell as I left in June '23 and never looked back. But from what I read about the protests back then, I seem to remember that only few subs had to have their mod team replaced by Reddit. I think if more mod teams of big subs had been willing to call it quits as a team, the disruption could have been bigger.

In the end though, I don’t know if any form of protest can be effective in this kind of situation as Reddit holds all the cards, and if they are dead set on enshittifying, nothing will stop them. What mods and users should do is just walk out.

Effective how? Reddit went through with everything they had planned. It could have been an effective form of protesting if more mods had actually been willing to leave the site or at least their modding job for good.

Libgen and scihub have done more for science than any of those shitty journal publishers.

• The Village

• O Brother Where Art Thou

• Amélie

• Pride and Prejudice

• Shutter Island

to name a few.

Oh lol, it’s the Raelians.

I keep hearing about that hillbilly book of his and how it’s supposedly such a good read. But all I’ve seen and heard from him I find really lacklustre and uninspiring. It’s just the usual redpilled mAsCuLiNe Qcumber nonsense. So what gives? Did he write a great book and then turn dumb? Or was the book bad to begin with?

And this is only like, the fifth weirdest headline I’ve read about the guy.

Was my last movie too. I really enjoyed it, and even though some would say that it’s slow/not much happens, it left a stronger impression on me than any other film I recently watched.

That was the second-to-last I watched. :)

I know this applies to the French and to Germans, but does the rule hold for Ukrainians?

I think strategically it’s smart not to focus on concrete plans too much. People vote according to their feelings more than according to actual policy, and Harris is doing very well right now on the feeling front.

Welcome to the Fediverse! I’ve been here since the 3rd party app shutdown and haven’t used Reddit ever since. Niche communities are still lacking here, but it gets better as more people join. Also Lemmy servers and apps have gotten more stable over the past year. So I hope you’ll enjoy it here!

You’re gonna have to explain that one.

I can crack the knuckles of my big toes at will (only moving my toes, no hands involved).

I mean it makes some sense as memes take less effort to post (they can also just be copied from r/anarchychess or similar places) and lead to some quick upvotes. I’m still confused about chess@lemmy.ml having so little activity though.

Old School Runescape.

Also, I’m really confused as to why chess doesn’t have an active community on Lemmy. Online chess has seen a big boom in recent years, and the demographics of chess players and Lemmy users should have a lot of overlap (i.e. the nerdy IT people), but for some reason the chess community here is more or less dead. Only anarchychess is active, which is great, but I’d love to have an active replacement for r/chess.

That’s so interesting! Changes my perspective on an animal that has always felt like a perfectly normal neighbour everywhere I’ve lived (though seeing them is still kind of a rare thing).

Wait wait, are you telling me the US (the Americas?) don’t have hedgehogs??
