Surely you mean Sherman?

Custer was the bigot a**hole who decided to pick a fight he couldn’t win with native Americans at Little Big Horn.

Sherman was the general who set fire to the south and razed the land from Georgia to the sea.

Yeah, I thought Soulseek went the way of Limewire and Kazaa when things like Pirate Bay and whatnot became go-to sites…

I mean, back in the day it was amazing, anything I wanted I could just about find. Random One Hit Wonder Japanese pop-punk band that I only heard about in passing? Yeah I could find their whole discography on Soulseek. It was awesome. I wish I could remember that band now…

We do have Social Security that gets paid into, but it’s not a whole lot and if Republicans get their way, they will siphon the money meant for our generation in order to fund frivolous things like walls.
For me it was a quarterly town hall with hospital leadership and they kept pushing “we are a business…” and all I could think was “no, we are a hospital…” because being a business is indicative of being profit motivated. I know, I know, that’s exactly what it is, but it just really bothered me to hear that line over and over.

Are they back in decent form at all? Me and my partner stopped watching a long time ago due to the downward spiral of their content quality and editing. It just became more of “how many times can we roll our eyes over the course of a video” than anything else.

Which sucks because our mutual enjoyment of them (among other things) was one of the things that brought us together.

(For reference, I started watching around 2012, her around 2016, and we stopped watching somewhere in 2019)

This is what I was getting at. Any other point in time, people would have just sat on the sidelines until subs opened again, but now that alternatives exist, people have somewhere to go.

I personally think that regardless of Reddit going back on API pricing and what not, they burned too many bridges with outside devs that third party apps would be going away period. They didn’t just cross the line, the treated it like the Olympic long jump. Reddit did some real damage to a lot of communities, not just hobby’s but users with disabilities, neurodivergent users, and many more that relied on apps to help them use Reddit.

If it wasn’t for the fediverse, I’m not gonna lie, I’d probably go back. But now that I’m here, no way.

June would be 9 years for me. I remember I joined because I had just gotten into Formula 1 and found a great place to read about it among a community that I, as someone with social anxiety, remain anonymous, but also, as someone with ADHD, geek out and hyperfocus on all the ins-and-outs and fit in.

It has been 9 long years. My subscribed list tells the story of those years. Once I subscribed to something I never unsubscribed, even if I never went back so I would have those memories of "Oh, I remember when that happen and I was super into ____." It saw me get divorced, it saw me leave the military and travel across the country to fight wildfires. It saw me meet the person that I should have married to begin with and share Reddit with them. It has been the one constant over the last decade, that while I can move on and leave because I love it here, I just don't think I can delete my account. It would be like deleting those memories and I just struggle with that.

TBH, I was surprised it was 20 only, as I felt like I was on Apollo most of the day everyday.

Just had a look at my Screen Time and realized I am probably staying here - Lemmy.world

Over the last several weeks, according to my Screen Time, I roughly average 20hrs using Apollo weekly. Don’t judge me. So far this week I have only used Apollo 18 minutes and used either Mlem or the webapp for individual instances for around 3 hours (and that’s not counting time that I have spent on desktop here which I don’t usually do for Reddit, Apollo was Reddit for me). That said, I think that is thanks to how this community immediately came together and started working hard to build things up, and the amazing admins, like @[email protected] [https://lemmy.world/u/ruud] for maintaining order and stability as the influx hit the servers. If this mass exodus had happen at any point in the last several years, I feel a lot of people would just wait it out or fractured across the web. But, thanks to Lemmy and Kbin being up at the right time for this to happen it has propelled the online communities into the next step in the grand internet experiment. So, big thanks to everyone here making things happen and to the Lemmy OGs for taking us in, and admins for keeping a rough over our heads as we settle in.
