Well, reddit has nothing at this point, so it’s better than the competition.
I think the way to beat amazon is to specialize in one tiny area. Carve them up into such small slices that they cant fight back.
So like, instead of trying to do just their books business, do just horror books. Horror that mixes with all genres, every possible crossover, but always horror books.
Having a genuine specialty is what can take amazon down, bit by bit. Something genuinely cool, something genuinely fun. Another big-ass store is nothing special.
This is what we call “dipshit energy”.
The fediverse is confusing and that’s bad. It should be less confusing, and there should be less people making comments like that one. Quit it.
We’ll get there sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.
This is why fediverse UI and intuitiveness being as good as possible, rather than “open sourcey”, is so important.
Everything helps. Those of you who are working on the Fediverse, thank you!
So get them on there.
“Hey dummies, this here is the place that isn’t trying to fuck us, let’s move it over.”
For me the way bigger issue is clunkiness. The fediverse needs a massive push for UI, usability, intuitiveness. Not having that will turn people away, but part of what will get it to happen is more people showing up and saying “stop making this otherwise objective improvement so janky that I second guess coming here in the first place.” Maybe a few will be inspired to help, if they have the skills.
To everybody working on the fediverse in any capacity: thank you. You are building a digital Noah’s Ark for the future.
Conservatives lie in their very word choices.
“Somebody pointed out I was wrong about something” = propaganda
“Conservatives lost” = it wasn’t fair
Stuff like that. Take the opportunity to talk about things in ways that leave the reader understanding more clearly when you see lying word choices like the ones in this screencap.
Stuff like this is a major, major component of dealing with nazis.
And even after they’re dealt with, it’s a better way of doing things, anyway. If it’s a company, you’re not on their social media platform, as much as you can possibly manage.
Which is a lot.
Occasional comments here and there are probably better.
Everything helps.
No corporations in social media. No venture capital in social media.
I bet the fediverse wouldn’t censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn’t a bitch.
Reddit is a shell now, and they’re desperately filling it with AI.
Old search results, mostly.
Donald Trump’s dick is small and it drives him crazy, and Elon Musk is such a fucking dweeb that even with billions and billions of dollars, he still can’t be even slightly cool.
Anybody who gives a rat’s ass about grandma wants to see her hanging out in places that aren’t actively hostile to her, and will at least consider switching.
If they insist on keeping her in places that want to see her come to a bad end just to make a buck, then we can safely stop calling or thinking of those people as friends.
I tried really hard to understand this. It isn’t working.
I put in my share of the work. I think it just does not make sense.
It’s a non-shitty instagram.
I don’t even do 3D printing but I’m always thrilled to see a group of people burning companies for shitty practices and talking about which ones are good.
Note the names of the individuals who decided on this and make it news when they move to another company. Companies can’t do anything; it’s always people making these crappy choices. The public deserves to know if they’re about to fuck up a different company, too.
I’ll show you how that back end works!
(I have no idea and hope you get the info you want)
That’s the funniest shit I’ve heard in awhile and I will use it as my Lemmy jumping off point for the day.
Remember to look at a few things that leave you feeling at least kind of ok, Lemmy.
