I thought it was about waterboarding

SAME! Also recommend Alton Brown

And I assume the image is an unrelated demonstrating a rescue operation

They got pulverized

Apparently there’s been a “compress the rich” hashtag going around.

Though That 19 year old didn’t want any part in this, was scared of the whole thing, and only went to appease his father

Yep, I try to upvote everything and comment as much as I can. I’m still confused about how to post to specific instances on Jerboa though. Like I’m typing the name but it’s not showing up in the dropdown

The most discouraging thing that happened was that when I wrote a long and thoughtdul comment and press send, Jerboa gives me the “java type blabla” error, and I lost everything I typed. Then I don’t wanna type it again and I just give up on commenting

Hopefully these issues will be fixed soon! As I understand it it’s not even an issue with Jerboa specifically.

One thing I wish these news sites would cover is that it’s not only the API changes that people are upset about.

This was just the straw that broke the camels back. It’s been a long time coming.

My personal gripes were:

1. Corporate astroturfing (this is the #1 reason I left, the entire front-page just felt like r/hailcorporate but nobody is aware)
2. Reddit official app served ads in the damn comment section
3. Bots of many varieties. Karma farming bots. Politically motivated bots (especially on r/Canada)
4. Mod abuse (r/antiwork for instance)
5. Censorship (r/fencesitter for instance)
6. The stupid NFTs being pushed

Also, the API situation will make it harder to moderate subs without the tools that were previously available

I’ve never heard of that. Where did that rumor come from?

You mean the big expansion pack they released a while back? It was incredible, the devs just dropped it one day out of the blue, all for free, nobody had asked for it but everyone was amazed by it.

Been replaying Into The Breach. One of the best turn based tactic games there is out there.

Holy shit

Agreed!

And this means we’re not giving them clicks or anything? It’s basically as if we’ve never visited in the first place?

I get that “no ads no tracking”, but does the proxy give them a view? I don’t want them to get any traffic from me, proxy or otherwise.

Thanks for sharing

I have nothing against it OP for sharing this, but the headline of this article by PCgamer is super clickbaity, witholding the key info until you give them a click. There was a subreddit called “saved you a click” that was basically taking clickbait headlines and putting the “prize info” in the post title. I wonder if there will be a Lemmy equivalent.

Is anyone here old enough to remember SomethingAwful and communities like that from the early 2000s? Lowtax drama aside, during its hayday the community was the source of so many OG memes. Here’s hoping that Lemmy will have that nostalgic feeling.
