Remember Marauder, whose title screen featured a loop of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song? (This, after the packaging warned that this program was only supposed to be used to make legal copies?)

Wouldn’t “Elon Mode” mean you’re guaranteed to wreck everything?

Not really. It looks like they’re planning another case of “malicious compliance.”

Sorry, those other three are clearly not the heads of Reddit. They have more intelligence, humanity…and at least one capable of Counting.

OMG…Capstone Software. When I was doing game programming, our development company did several games for them. Generally, they paid developers if and when they felt like it, which is why starting a project with them didn’t necessarily mean it would ever get finished. On the bright side, their testers put in the minimum effort, so we could sneak interesting things into the dialogue without them noticing. They were known in our company as “Crapstone.”

What an ass. I hope this gets some mods still over there to move here.

TBH, I looked over there yesterday, and it was pretty much business as usual.

The big question is: will that “core percentage” that have moved on settle here and begin making that content for us?

It does seem like a rather ugly design.

I’m sure Canada is devastated by the news.

I’m still struck by the realization that, apparently, Hasbro no longer exists. It’s like a part of my childhood just died.

That “pattern” has been around for at least fifty years. This is merely a continuation of it.

I would think, in Canada, such behavior would merit a hate crimes charge, since they don’t worship at the altar of FREEZE PEACH like we do here in the U.S.

“No one cares, trust me bro”…until their dealer (corporate Reddit) decides to start charging for their fix, or else nukes their favorite subreddit to make the whole place more investor-friendly. Then, it will be “HOW DARE THEY???”

Just think – he’ll also get the opportunity to become the first president to be criminally convicted imprisoned.

TBH, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of legal torrent sites. I know LibreOffice makes its product available via torrenting, but that’s really about it.

The “tipping point” will happen when a) enough of the popular subreddits get their equivalent here, and b) when people make a point of turning posts into discussions. The experience of making a comment and then…nothing isn’t the sort of think likely to sustain itself.

Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.
