A terrible corruption of a Windows XP computer. A barrage of viruses, Malware, Bonzi Buddy, Toolbars and terrible nu metal. The complete awful early 2000 experience.

Me too. I read it was a known bug but I don't have the link handy. I hope it's fixed soon

I think that's fine. You should probably keep using Reddit, that is the direction they are going.

Edit: if you're using new.reddit.com nothing is going to change for you bud lol

is facebookification a word? I am so sad to see this happen as a long time user of Reddit, been on there for...god, 11 years according to my profile awards. I see a lot of people saying this is the end of Reddit but I have to disagree, it is more like a new age. Reddit will now only be used by people who are fine with getting absolutely fucked with ads and close to nil moderation. I imagine it will be a husk of what it once was - it'll look the same but I'm sure it will just be repost land. It wasn't hard to see this coming, but I can't help but feel a sadness.

Do I need to go outside more? Probably.

RIP

I can say first hand I was confused on how to sign up. I tried joining lemmy.ml and wrote up an application which never got approved. After browsing for a few days I figured out I could sign up on any instance and found lemmy.ca, my people. lol. My application got approved very quickly there.

I doubt most people will be able to figure this out as it's not intuitive and perhaps give up and move on to somewhere else. :(
