Thanks!

Who’s the source artist for this? Would love to follow him on Instagram

I’d love to see this piece of shit in prison as much as anyone, but let’s be real here—this is never going to happen.

This is exactly how I learned all those years ago, and to this day, I still use vim regularly. As in, literally, I was using it on a server this morning to make some changes. It’s just become natural to me now.

IMO it’s fine to just make a post about it in one of the larger communities that seems appropriate. Now is exactly the time for us to promote one another! And Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm, so you’re going to have to do some leg work to get the word out. I think people will be appreciative and understanding of that, I would be.

Also /r/tiktokcringe, so many of the videos there had me nearly in tears in laughter

Looks cool as hell, though there’s almost zero information on it :/

The Internet, sadly, has always been an awful place for women and minorities. I hope we can build a culture here where that kind of shit isn’t tolerated, and all (sans trolls, bigots, racists, and Nazis) are made to feel welcome and respected.

Except the Dutch. Fuck those guys.

That absurd thing hardly looks real lol

Someone did, though there’s nothing on it now https://lemmynsfw.com/

I have high hopes for Alan Wake and Metal Gear

Okay. Well, we’re all hungry. We’re gonna get to our hotplates soon enough, alright?

Makes you wonder how many absolutely awesome things that society has lost, or would otherwise have, if capitalism and greed hadn’t absolutely fucking ruined things. It’s tragic that we can’t have nice things just because they’re nice, someone has to make a buck in order for a thing to exist.

I want Lemmy to succeed, I want to be optimistic about it as an alternative to Reddit, but OP is correct, and we need to be honest about this very simple fact:

The Reddit we knew and loved is gone, and that’s a sad, tragic thing, and there likely won’t be a 1:1 replacement for a long time, if ever.

It’s okay to admit to ourselves that this whole situation sucks, because it absolutely does. That doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy Lemmy and other federated things like it, and it doesn’t mean that federation doesn’t have advantages over Reddit, but let’s be honest: most of us were happy at Reddit, using our favorite 3rd party app (like Apollo), and we wouldn’t be here if the admins weren’t happy to kill what we once loved.

All we can do is try to make the best of it.

Agreed. This is depressing as hell. Apollo is a joy to use. There are so many niche communities on Reddit that I enjoy, and even if Lemmy or other federated things like it take off, those communities are largely going to die. This is a tragedy, no matter how you look at it. We are losing.

Juniper for R/S, Palo for firewalls. At home I use pfsense and UniFi APs and in that environment they’re great.

Sure, I’ll give it a go, thank you for thinking of me. The whole bullshit with Twitter and now Reddit has me feeling pretty burned on corporate-owned social media, so I’m likely to stick with federated things like Masto, Lemmy, etc., but I’ll give it a go. I am curious about it. I wonder why they’re leaning so hard on the waitlist thing? They’re losing precious adoption time, as people are right now wanting to move away from Twitter. Or rather, they have been wanting that for months, so there may already be a lot of lost opportunity re: user attention or interest.
