Yes but no, I rather thank the people that made the platform of Lemmy, the apps and community of Lemmy/Kbin and such.

They are the ones making this possible.

Okay mister obvious lol, post is a joke, how can you miss that

Then post it on a c/funny and maybe make a meme out of it. Maybe there is a funnyshowerthough somewhere

The opposite of love is not hate, itā€™s indifference. Don't give him the satisfaction of having any legacy on this platform.

Absolutely this. Can you imagine him looking at the main page of most instances over the last few weeks? If he has the typical tech ceo arrogant narcissism he was probably so pleased even though the discussion was universally negative

Same deal with Elon. He doesnā€™t really give a shit when people roast and mock him. Itā€™s just about achieving notoriety

But itā€™s in the same vein of the old ā€œdonā€™t feed the trollsā€ adage. Some people really just canā€™t avoid giving attention to the toxic environments and people even when they know itā€™s a bad idea. But itā€™s very similar to a child who is throwing shit at you instead of asking you for attention appropriately. You have to teach the child the appropriate way to ask and ignore the problem behavior. But our mass media is set up to constantly provide these dicks the attention they crave and platform awful disgusting behavior so culture in decline I guess

Every other post is about Reddit/Meta/Twitter. We need to move on.

I now downvote most Reddit meta content if it's not constrained to a Reddit specific community. I see it as bad for the health of the site if every community becomes focused on Reddit drama.

I enjoy Reddit drama sometimes, but it can't be so much of the front page and it needs to be using appropriate communities so that people can just unsubscribe if they want to.

Reddit drama should be constrained in their respective communities. It's getting out of hand.

I guess it was the beatings... made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize

Read ā€œwho moved my cheeseā€ - be grateful for the cheese you now have. But giving thanks to who took away the old cheese forcing you to move on? Nope, mice that move on donā€™t do that.

Zen story: two monks walking a path come across a woman stuck trying to cross a stream, one of the monks carry her over and they continue their journey. Shortly the other monk asks ā€œI am troubled brother, we are prohibited from touching a woman, why did you do that?ā€, the other monk replies ā€œI put her down by the river, for me that is in the past, but for you, you are still carrying herā€.

I'm choosing not to acknowledge him at all. He was just part of the natural order of things. Reddit has been going downhill for years and it was time to move on for me. Thankful for lemmy actually, I needed somewhere to go

Honestly, Lemmy as it is now already is way more fun and engaging than Reddit ever was for me. On Reddit, I'm mainly a lurker. Here, I want to participate.

Ive seen quite a few Video Essays about how the internet dies rn with twitter, google and now reddit become unusable.

The internet doesnt die. Big corps die. And we cab celebrate that.

you havenā€™t been doing that for the last month?

I personally dont write "thank you u/spez" i say "spez and musk are the best things happening to support open source alternatives"

Thank you so much u/spez for your hard work!

Without you I won't be here šŸ˜˜

Iā€™m still confused because Iā€™m on kbin but see more lemmy posts on here and Iā€™m still unsure on lemmy and the background of it all.
