If Reddit goes down, what articles will pcmag decide to write about then?
And what will people post on lemmy about?
I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it's the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.
Although, on Reddit we were always talking about musk and Twitter. Dumpster fires when the AIC (asshole in charge) deserves the harm coming to their profits and their website, it’s newsworthy and juicy content.
Although I do agree that it will slow to a trickle and then eventually stop. Not because the content stops being interesting to us, but because reffit will ultimately probably win in the end, they’re IPO will be profitable, they’ll continue down this enshittification road until FB make a Reddit competitor and then everyone that didn’t care about the API thing because they were too busy watching reruns of the Big Bang theory will move there. It’s the circle of tech life, eventually fb will own the internet
Though if Twitter goes under, I'm sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren't a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.
Has it? In the last 30 years? White collar/corporate malfeasance enforcement has dropped like a fucking landslide in the 21st century.
@MarcellusDrum @Polydextrous Except that FB and Twitter technically occupy different markets
It was the same with Digg on reddit back in the day. Like you say, it'll die down.
The Reddit thing is also extremely interesting to follow and is absolutely newsworthy.
Lemmy is already busy complaining about meta
Don't worry we'll find something
I found a cool rock while I was on a walk this week edit: my dudes you're going to have to give me time to go back there it was a pretty big rock
B.S., I demand a picture.
I second this, you can't just claim that you found a cool rock without proving said rock is cool.
I, too, wish to see the alleged rock.
Alleged rock or allegedly cool rock? IOW, are you questioning the rock's coolness or its existence? Both are valid.
Both! If it exists I'm sure it's cool
He's holding out content, let's get him!
pic?
Pics or it didn’t happen.
Post the rock. Please I need it

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !geology@mander.xyz
good bot
Just leaving additional peer pressure here. WE WANT PICS!
Hilarious! You gotta admit though, it's kind of like Watching Pawn Stars on the History Channel. Like wtf is this?
Elon and Mark.
Beans, apparently.
Probably things posted here, except they’ll have some trouble sorting out the instancing stuff at first
I got quotes by a PC gamer article after commenting about a random , obscure battlefield rip off was announced for steam a couple of months ago.
I was very surprised upon finding it after a username google.
Thanks….I guess?! My comment was just a random nothing burger (well what’s changed there). Well done ‘journalists’!
They can always rely on AI-written shitpost articles.
RIP EmKay videos lol
