My reaction to this post
Honestly I just jumped to Lemmy after dndmemes sent me this way and it feels like I’m delving into early internet forums back in the day, fresh and new and full of excitement for the future
I know exactly what you mean. Fresh optimism. For fun, not for money or algorithms.
Fresh optimism for the communities and the new apps all being furiously worked on right now. I’ve got Memmy, Mlem, and Voyager all installed currently and watching the rapid development of each is a hell of a lot more interesting than the one Reddit app that’s been dogshit since they bought it and stuffed it full of ads and is only getting worse.
I should just probably try them all but do you have a preferred one so far? Currently using Memmy but honestly I finally dove back into something like this after a proper year without Reddit, to see how this community is doing and to see what the vibe is like.
Remember when forums would let you put unsanitized HTML in your signature and people exploited it to flood them with pop ups and redirects? Lemmy’s bringing that back, too!
Came for the decentralization, stayed for the nonconsensual lemon party redirects.
Reddit just nuked all my accounts, nice to back to a more open community!

Wait what, how
They only alternate theory I have is I use a VPN and that IP was flagged from another users abuse. But since there is no way to talk to the admins its all said and done. Also I bounce accounts (not to evade) as I have been doxxed on reddit more than once I keep my posting compartmentalized. They would all come back to that IP and would be seen as multiple ban evasions or an excuse to kick me. I’m pretty vocal on, well was vocal, about where the site was heading…

Shit sorry I have another thread going on this and I’m getting crossed up. More info:
Don’t forget your dual-wheel, 4D+ mouse!
I would play minecraft with that
I wonder if this works under Microsoft ® Windows ®
Two eyes … Two scroll wheels
Makes sense to me
Ngl this probably would make it easier to scroll websites without fixed widths, as well as diagrams.

It was the law.
I feel like I’m back playing Ultima Online. Corp Por?

I just heard that international standards now stipulate that when referring to Internet and the WWW, that it is no longer a requirement to capitalize. its just internet and the web now, if anyone still even uses those words.
I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I stop capitalizing the I in Internet.
Did you guys know that lemmy is a series of tubes
