That is such a weird behaviour, and I see it in a lot of places. Especially in gameing where you have people go " I haven’t touched this game serie sense the second game in the 90’s, but this new thing in the latest game sucks. Just like the entire series has doen sense the third game was released " and this is even in a community for the LATEST game not the entire series.
It is so common to see and it is so weird.
Haven’t that been a thing for tears now? Or have they found a way to make them even MORE post like, if so I would like to know how, because the ones I have seen you basically have to learn to recognise what titel they have to be able to tell them apart from posts.
I believe that it is the same type of people that don’t want stuff like infinite ammo cheat codes, easier difficultis or other similar options in games, because they think it makes it to easy and boring. If you don’t want to activate god mode don’t do it, but don’t go acting like a completely optional thing, somehow is mandatory and required.
But but but blue bubbles.
Which I also don’t understand how that of all things is so super important, frankly I hadn’t even really noticed it back when I had an iPhone.
This is this years version of Reddit recap or what exactly they call it. They give you some statistics from the past year, similar to Spotify wrap, or at least that’s the meaning of it, I haven’t gotten mine to work sense they started a couple of years ago. This year I haven’t even gotten one.
From the place I still use as they didn’t move, I haven’t seen a single mentioning of Lemmy, fedivers, black out or anything close. Makes sense as those communities didn’t even try moving.
In one of the subs I did notice a quality decline and it moving a bit from, people talking about shared experiences with a medical condition, to being babys first experience with medical condition, but it has moved back even so slightly, but the average age seems to have gone down.
The other one for a game. I can proudly say is just as low quality as before, but I stick around to give tech support, even if it of the absolute most basic nature sometimes, and keep up with updates, bugs and community fixes.
Reminds me of some post I read on Reddit regarding a Rimworld sex mod. So many people thought it was completely immoral and had no place in the game.
A game in which you can kidnap and cannibalis children, make clothes of their skin and sell it, a game where you can strap people to a bed, steal all of their organs, cut of their lega so they cant escape and keep them as a blood transfusion slave for ever. Missionary sex between a married couple in their own bed room is wrong and immoral.
That was definitely one of the weirdest takes I have read in a while, still is.
I seen that too. It has become especially apparent on a small sub I still view as it didn’t really migrate.
It went from people in their 20s discussing shared experiences with a medical condition, with the occasional high schooler dropping by to ask something. To babys first experiences, with condition. Absolutely filled to the brim with 13-17 year olds.
I’m fine with them being there and asking questions and talking, but not when every post and comment is just more teenage drama.
I seen a similar thing on another sub, while that has always screwed younger then the first, it definitely feels like it dropped like 5 years in average age.
I am all on that. I do know one parameter is not to much details, as you need to be able to see it in quite small scales.
It was Jim Browning, as another comment said. I can never remember his name more than Jim, so I settled for job description, as he is easy to find that way.
But others have been through it also, Linus Tech Tips, The Spiffing Britt and Atomic Shrimp are the other big ones I know of, but there is plenty more. Of those Atomic Shrimp is also a scam hunter like Jim, so it definitely shows that just because you are very familiar with what it looks like you aren’t immune too it.
I can’t remember if they all fell for the same or similar ones or if it was different ones, but that really doesn’t matter so much.
And what happend was Jim and LTT got tricked into deleting there channels. LTT by a fake sponsorship and Jim I don’t remember someone else said it was fake YouTube support.
Spiff had something of a similar thing happen but I don’t remember the means, and Atomic Shrimp I believe was a different typ of scam not related to YouTube.
But everyone got their channels back in the end.
Yep that’s him, I can never remember his name.
Well one of the best scam hunters on YouTube lost his account to a scam. So not really a waste of time, trying Lemmy.
Could not have said it better myself.
I think it falls into the category of, given bad thins new lesser bad words so it doesn’t sound so bad anymore. Because the old word made people fell bad. I have noticed it more and more online especially with stuff that is related to sex, it is ether new words or replace the middle with *.
Perfect then
Did your examples work out the way you expected them to?
Fine is a good description of it. I used to use it and it was fine, not excellent not horrible, just fine. Then after quite some time I looked into 3th party apps, mostly because I got tiered of how all ads became more and more disguised as normal posts.
I liked Infinity so I stuck with that for some time. Then I switched back to the official one as reading posts on the browser from mobil got worse and worse and I couldn’t open the links in Infinity. The official app was ones again fine, a lot worse then Infinity but it was fine.
Then I figured out that you can make Infinity open reddit links and I switched back to Infinity again.
Then Reddit did what it did and now I use RedReader to read some communities that didn’t move.
Don’t forget when you finally managed to find the invite link it is dead, so you have to try to find another one.
The apps I use/ have used doesn’t support the april fools jokes, rewind, polls and similar. So no, I have actually never really participated in any of them.
