argv_minus_one,

My go-to backup strategy is USB hard drives. They’re cheap, they’re fast, and nobody’s going to even try to decrypt them. Buy several, put them in a safety deposit box at your bank, rotate them weekly, and nothing short of a nuclear weapon will destroy every copy of your data at the same time.

argv_minus_one,

How is that possible? I thought freezing caused cell membranes to tear apart.

argv_minus_one,

Then some deadly pathogen with this property could be buried in the ice, too. Lovely.

argv_minus_one,

It’s too late for that. If we don’t do something drastic, we’re not going to continue existing much longer.

argv_minus_one,

I was wondering when they’d get around to doing that. RIP Reddit.

argv_minus_one,

Facebook survives catering to mostly an audience of unsavvy boomers.

That’s pretty ironic, considering Facebook originally catered exclusively to the opposite demographic: college students.

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social) en

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....

argv_minus_one,

Don’t forget to report bigots as well as blocking them.

Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social) en

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

argv_minus_one,

Silver lining: if not for these guys creating an actual need for search and rescue, the USCG would have to perform search-and-rescue drills at similar cost anyway.

Or so I've heard. 🤷‍♂️

argv_minus_one,

The protest may not have crippled Reddit, but funding may yet do so. Word is, spez did what he did because interest rates went up, the venture capitalists demand an actual return on their investment for once, they want it now, and this is spez's desperate attempt to make that happen.

This is almost certain to fail. Lurkers, bots, and trolls aren't going to pay for flashy avatars or whatever silly gimmick he comes up with next. Advertisers aren't going to want their advertisements to appear next to trolls (see Twitter for evidence). Reddit will run out of money and collapse.

Spez may yet have the last laugh, if he manages to IPO and sell out before the music stops. Time will tell. But every non-shareholder who works for Reddit would be well advised to GTFO ASAP.

argv_minus_one,

Now I finally know what was missing from Lemmy.
