Greetings fellow /u/kirk, nice bike!
Tinder started as a "hook-up" app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.
You are correct and I don't mean to shame but it has been their goal for 7 years now since the redesign in 2018.
While Lemmy is still young we should establish a culture of politely, yet firmly ridiculing the weight of the mothers of users who don't de-clickbait headlines.
We salute you, Loretta.
MASH is a very good show, it's aged (a little too) well and the jokes still land to this day. Highly recommended.
No opinion is so important that it needs to post it to Reddit imo
Are you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars
This is cool but why can't we change the whole theme😖
Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian own Digg now. Alexis Ohanian never worked at Digg and Kevin Rose was replaced as CEO by the board in 2010 for non-involvement. It's still going to be a non-federated for profit platform. But there's no reason to think they would ruin Pocket or even change it dramatically.
Any inconveniences you've noticed with Graphene? For example I've heard tap to pay functionality doesn't work.
There's no need for hostility, your characterization of what is happening does not reflect reality.
Well said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they're out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.
I agree, I really don't think the concerns about "not being able to tell what's real" will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what's real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn't going to dramatically change that.
Instapaper is nice and probably where I'll end up. Others have suggested Wallabag to me which has a less than 1€/month plan.
I never view it as a "to do list of must reads" but as just another feed but curated really good stuff.
A recent study has found that the richest 10 percent of the world population are responsible for two-thirds of observable climate warming
"The problem I've found is that it's easy enough to create a Reddit clone using Lemmy, but getting people to actually use it is the issue."
A good thread to mention Lemmy in - a Daily Show segment about social media companies, most of the commenters don't seem to realize that nonprofit social media exists!
