Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing this as real news.

Signal with 2 people who actually moved there with me, standard messages app that came with Samsung for most people, and Facebook Messenger Lite for anything that works better there, or contacting people who I’m not close enough with to get their phone number.
Oh man, so many awesomely awful jokes came in this format. Best source of dad jokes around, I miss that meme
I think if a thing like Place were made for Lemmy, it would need to be so different to fit the values of the Fediverse that it would need a new name. Different rules, different way of interaction, different output.
I use it kind of like WD-40 in a farm setting. It’s messy, but not as messy as grease. It’s effective to coat things that constantly wear and have started to rust. I also rub it on my leather boots to waterproof it for cheap.
I had no idea it existed before the API changes were announced.
All these old memes and the excitement around them have showed me that this is indeed a corner of the internet where I fit in. Hello my people!
RIP Vine.
I laughed so hard when Darius posted this one
Wook at all those chickens!

Maybe it’s worth giving up those games to get rid of the Facebook account.
I have been trying to work out how to write a post like yours for a while, but I don’t have the insight or experience to make it nearly as good. So thank you for putting this out there.
Many of the differences are what makes this place great. The tension that leads to seeking the common ground. The threat of being disconnected that keeps things civil even when there are disagreements. The way memes are enjoyed but as a side. The distinct lack of monetization.
Some of the “faults” that newcomers complain about are important features that align with the core beliefs this place is built on. Some are unfortunate side effects that aren’t going away as long as the values stay the same. Some are just issues that someone meant to get around to but for whatever reason they haven’t yet.
Google, duck duck go when I don’t want to see ads for days based on what I’m searching, Bing and Perplexity when I want to avoid doing a series of searches to learn something.
I usually hear numbers less than 10 used with times less. Do you have an example for 100 times less? I’m curious to see this figurative trainwreck.
“times less” is not an intuitive, easy to understand way of referring to a decrease in some amount or percentage.
I mean, it’s only fair.
I had the same issues with chrome. The only fix I’ve found is landscape mode
It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.
