    I think the big problem with profitability comes directly from why the userbase grew so large to begin with. People use it as entertainment, and are uploading content that is expen…

    I would say black letter day. - Reddit API lockdown - Twitter account wall - YouTube increases aggressiveness against Adblock This is on top of similar behavior from other sites th…

    There is any believable amount of content being made where the value is so absurdly low, I welcome this change. For everyone that wants to setup a copy/paste version of a CRUD app …

    As someone who signed up for Lemmy and is planning to replace my Reddit use with it, I hear these points loud and clear. You also make a good point about Google search and how bad …

    I have never been more seen in my life. It's very frustrating, especially when other people tend to extrapolate the little they know and apply it to everything. It can be frustrati…

    This is a bad take. You are asking for the forum and sub forum/tag approach. A community that small will simply not be engaged with frequently enough to avoid seeming “abandoned”. …

    Speed was nice, but this really hooked me. What really blew me away not long after was synced tabs between my computer and phone.

    You're triggering me real hard. 11th hour "I don't care how just make the system get to this number" regardless of the garbage number dumped in. Then you're stuck with a permanent …

    It's definitely a roll of the dice but I'd venture to say that, aside from constant pain and suffering, pretty much anything else is better than Alzheimer's.

    I think that wish would be corrupted quickly. Oh so you commute all the way out to the suburbs? Hey since we know you'll have nothing to do anyway please complete these additional …

    It's funny, I was pretty young back then and I though Amazon WAS TRU because of those site redirects. It remember going on the site and thinking how incredible it was, they had eve…

    For someone in search of the almighty self imposed productivity metric, in sure it seems healthy. But for the rest of us, it's stupid.

    I doubt this single incident alone is the reason, but maybe the catalyst. Google and its unhealthy lust for diversity has been an increasingly frequent topic. Hell, someone got fir…

    The entire industry is going down that path because it's the best way to make money. The WSJ has been doing this for a few years now.

    From my experience there is far less of this "what do you do" pertaining to work than of their primary hobby or interest. Might be a younger generation thing since there are so man…

    What is this supposed to become, exactly? Google hasn't said much about it and speculators are making big claims like how this will replace ChromeOS and Android. I don't see that h…

    Sites like Codewars seem to me like good ideas starting out, but it doesn't take that long to turn into an arms race of complex one liners that people vote up as the coolest soluti…

    Seriously? This would be a deal breaker for me. It would also be nice to be able to save preferences so that I only ever get results from the past year unless I specify otherwise. …

    A better question might be "should we?" Consider that we as a species seem incapable of taking care of ourselves on our own planet. Unless that changes, it seems pretty irresponsib…
