Can we please stop building everything around Discord? It has its place as a chat app, but it's become like a web parallel to our own, except owned and operated by a single company. It's an information black hole, completely closed off from the rest of the web, unscrapeable, uncrawlable, unarchiveable, and borderline unsearchable. It has everything that is wrong with the web today. When the company dies, all information in the app dies with it. There's no Internet Archive for Discord.

The people that use old.reddit are a very small minority, and many are likely already here.

Linux needs better multi-monitor support. It's better than it's ever been, but it's still janky and giving black screens on tertiary screens at times.

EDIT: It's funny how the comments are all over the place. "works for me", "it's broken on KDE but works on XFCE", "it's broken on XFCE but works on KDE", etc. I think that's a good sign there are problems with multi-monitor support.

Average Joe doesn't use extensions.

We need an option to block pornographic communities, but still see non-porn NSFW content. Blocking all NSFW is too broad and will block other content.

School's just starting. It won't hit the peak of hype without some huge new features or improvements, but it'll rise again.

We have confirmation of bears shitting in the woods.

The survey form eats more RAM the longer it's open until it becomes unusable.

ChatGPT is most useful when you may not know the right answer, but you know a wrong answer when you see one. It's very useful for technical issues. Much quicker for troubleshooting than searching page after page for a solution.

Of course it's the one instance where I accidentally capitalized my username and can't change it to a lower case letter.

I like kbin, but it's missing a few QoL features like collapsing comments and viewing "context" of a reply. To expand on the latter, when someone replies to a comment on both Reddit and Lemmy you can click a "context" link to view your original comment and all child comments. Currently it doesn't seem as easy to view your comment and all replies to it on kbin.

I exclusively browse "All" and block communities I don't want to see. I haven't found enough I want to sub to, and those I have subbed to don't have enough content.

If you want an instance that almost definitely won't go under, sdf.org has existed since 1986 1987 and has an instance at lemmy.sdf.org

Did you make your account for Half-Life 2? My account is the same age, and that's the game that introduced me to Steam.

I didn't think of that. That will make it disappear, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Just crop those parts out of your OnlyFans posts.

That's quite similar to me. I got HL2 Jan. 2005. I played Guild Wars instead of WoW because I didn't want to pay for a sub.

I think it's on fire.

Life expectancy seems pretty misunderstood, and I used to be one who misunderstood it. Most people don't know it changes as you age. Your life expectancy at birth is not what it is now, and won't be what it is if you live 20 more years.

That's a good feature. I think Sync has both these features.

Emerald is pretty pricey these days. I got my copy years ago for a fraction of the price, and I felt like it was overpriced back then.

Bro, if they'd taken 5000 IU more vitamin D that day, bro
