It sucks for people who aren't able to get financial assistance from their family (I'm one of them) but this isn't nepotism. This is families doing what is necessary to get a first house in a lot of current housing markets. Nepotism would be if houses were only being sold to family members/acquaintances of the owners.

It's just a meme, since they're both highly anticipated movies with very different vibes releasing on the same day. I don't think most people are actually expecting them to compete (if anything, most of the jokes I see are about watching a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature). It's the same as the Doom Eternal/Animal Crossing jokes a few years back

Yeah it's really making me realise how much of reddit is NSFW haha

A lot of subs have already gone dark (over 4000 as of now), you can see a live progress tracker on reddark.untone.uk if you want to watch 😊

Copied from my other comment:

I just found it as well, it's in your phone (e.g., Google) settings. For my phone (Samsung) I go:

(Samsung) Settings -> Apps -> Jerboa for Lemmy -> Set as Default -> Supported Web Addresses

That leads to the page shown in the OP screenshot 😊

I don't think RSS would work for that (it only seems to pull the content for the post itself, not the comments), but I've always used reddit-stream.com/ for live comments 😊 you can just take any link to a live thread (e.g. https://reddit.com/comments/145upmt/) and replace 'reddit' with 'reddit-stream' in the URL. It shows a live (updates every few seconds) feed of comments, and you can still comment if you link your reddit account.

That way you're still not on the reddit site or giving them ad traffic, and it's also a lot nicer to use as a bonus! I'd still prefer a fediverse alternative but it could be a good option for now
