Verstappen: What happened mate?
Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
Checo: No.
Checo: Turn 3 tho.
Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.
I know some things.

Example. One of the better subreddits has a “few” rules.
The rules are too long for a post here… so you get a small image.
Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.
Nobody wants to listen.
When it happens it’s basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it’s fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.
We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It’s coming and coming quickly. We’re not ready. Billions will die.
“The planet will be fine, it’s us humans that are fucked.” /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.
Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.
RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.
It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.
The richest country on earth can’t even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What’s standing in their way?
Quality content creators are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content submitters are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content commenters are mostly gone from Reddit.
So what’s left?
Mods who think they have value and for some reason care about their /r , and working for free.
Ads thinly disguised as posts. Bots spamming and upvoting those fake posts.
And nobody important reading.
The quality difference on lemmy/kbin is staggering. This is the perfect time to be part of it.
It’s inevitable it will start to slide once critical mass of users have been reached though. I’m curious if federated and smaller instances will keep it agile and fresh and big corp influence free.
I see sunshine and blue skies ahead.
As a new community we need to identify and stamp out bad actors immediately and thoroughly (spammers, selfservers, ads disguised as posts, brigading, illegal content, racism, you get the idea).
We can’t control if they create their own instances, but we can isolate them.
Look at me. I am the 1% now.
I have no clever thing to say except it seems Spez is, without joking or being mean, clinically insane.
The dedicated content creator userbase is long gone, and it shows. The casual content creator is leaving. The lurker and occasional poster will have nothing to read, except the thinly veiled ads pretending to be organic posts. It’s quickly becoming a digital wasteland. Fun to digg through maybe, just like we leaf through an old book sometimes.
