    Damn Lemmy to hell for getting me into memes again.

    I loved them decades ago, but then moved on. Then I lost all my communities of interest and spend all of my time here. With memes only.

    It’s getting better very slowly but thanks for keeping me mildly entertained in the meantime.

    That’s great that it doesn’t happen for you. For me, any time I end up on Reddit in a browser on iPhone, it gives the obnoxious “open in app or continue in browser” popup.

    I use private mode in safari though, maybe it’s not saving a cookie or something.







  • Word.

    The average person doesn’t seek shit out. They wait until it’s fed to them and then may occasionally decide to participate out of fomo.

    What really surprised me is that some of the communities I enjoyed pretty much universally carried on as if nothing happened. Maybe I’m weird, but I can’t support the bullshit they pulled. Thankful for the alternative and hope to see it flourish.


  • I’m not saying we need to blow up and get inundated with the masses, but sometimes it takes an event to kick things up a notch or two. Ideally a positive event, but something noteworthy to get people’s attention.

    I don’t visit that site which shall not be named anymore, but I never visited it for memes or politics etc or because I had any particular affinity for the platform. I went there for the niche forums it had and if they exist here, they are empty.

    I’m optimistic and I think we’ll have that event.
