“Damn, I thought mental illness was in the knees”

Also digg peaked at maybe 8 million users which is a much more manageable migration.

I love that because it’s such a cautionary tale about bad leadership. He was toxic towards Twitter for years then bought them and doubled down on shitting on them and calling them incompetent… Of course they hate his guts and maliciously comply now.

It’s the time between masters that is interesting and unpredictable and just fun

I think it might be the opposite. If extreme content is kind of “default” when the algorithm doesn’t know what to give you, them starving it off history might push it into that default more often. I have a very used YouTube account with a metric ton of history and honestly I very rarely see that kind of content. (From Europe though so it might be different)

Idk it’s pretty common. Where i live, most people above 35 have gotten at least once in a fight with skinheads, and some did it every weekend for the giggles.

Exactly. I paid 15 bucks 12 years ago and got god knows how many thousands of hours out of it

Oh man happy to help! And good luck on your game project, drop us a link sometime!

Hey man don’t overthink it. You need a meta product for work or for a project, just use it professionally. You need to think about your own success and go where your audience is.

Now on your personal time if you don’t want the toxicity of those places come to the fediverse and let’s have a nice chat.

I think the goal of the fediverse is not to eat the world but on the contrary to give us alternatives so we can compartmentalize our internet life.

Actually i found a phone number to the new studio so i might just give them a ring and ask about !

It’s a French series called “Sacrées Coquines”, volume 17 :D i doubt anybody’s heard of it

Kind of shameful but there is this one porn movie I used to have on a CDR that got lost between apartments. It’s stupid cause it’s #17 of a 20+ series and you can find #16 and #18 in like 2 minutes, but this one has disappeared from the face of the internet. The studio stopped listing it some time ago then they were bought out and the new owners never listed that one. Believe it or not I literally sent an email to the male star of the movie, but he never responded. There goes my holy grail. It must have gone out of stock and maybe the masters got lost or something. I know one rip was made at some point cause I found a filename in a listing, but it is long lost. Farewell lost porn 🙋‍♂️ farewell…

Yes! Very much this. Imagine if lemmy would grow to just a few million users. That’s the size of Digg when the migration to Reddit happened! Not everything needs to have a billion users and there’s more engagement in small communities anyway.

Out of the hundreds of millions of redditors i’m sure some people will pick up the slack of content creation and moderation. Now will they do a good enough job ? I don’t know, i bet spez is betting they will, but only time will tell.

Yeah you’re right that it wouldn’t be immediately noticeable but just because a few thousands of us jumped to Lemmy doesn’t mean there is any significant change on reddit. I checked on my most active communities and all the usual suspects are there, posting and commenting as usual. The amount of people that left reddit are probably a fraction of a percent.

This is not public information, you won’t know anything about that until the next quarterly reports. That being said if you go to the front page right now it seems pretty much like business as usual.

Of course i don’t. I dispute the fact that interest rates are a significant factor in the VC market.

Google in panic mode cause they don’t know if they’ll be able to close their 10M$ round from local VCs 😱

I don’t know it must depend on the market, in Europe you’ll generally get your money back in 7 to 10 years. And the very point of investing in a VC and not a singular company is that you flatten the risk and get your money back from the few companies who succeed. VCs are designed to bleed money looking for a moonshot but there’s not that many that fail ALL their investments and can’t show a 5% yearly for it.

Of course everything is connected but it’s not always 1 to 1, nor are the effects always immediate. Some economies absorb different impacts in different ways.
