This may be something you don’t want to hear so please bear with me. I’ve been here since the reddit drama started.

There isn’t much engagement here. If you compare a post here to a post on reddit, there will be zero comments here and 100 to 1000+ on reddit.

Another issue is each instance has its own version of the same community. This isn’t a bad thing but it separates the comments and increases the reposts. If I’m scrolling all, sometimes I see 5+ of the same post with zero comments on each.

Another problem, it’s not inherently easy to sign up. There are hundreds if not thousands of instances. If the instance you pick shuts down or goes down for a bit, well… you’re SOL. I’ve lost two accounts on two instances that shut down.

Another problem, since it’s not mainstream, there’s not much content in niche communities. A lot of the niche communities that start up post a lot of bot content which no one engages with and then the community dies.

I still advocate moving over but there is a lot of work to be done to get the masses moved over.

I moved up to project manager and started working 55 to 60 hour weeks as the norm and of course it’s salary.

I grew up and have put my fair share of time in the trades. They do pay well but if you don’t get out of the field, you trade your functioning body for money.

The one thing I can’t wrap my head around is why everyone wants to work so much overtime. Even unions are rocking 50-60 hour work weeks and then claiming they treat you well. It’s looked down upon if you only want to work 40.

Don’t we already do this with taxes? Why would anyone do this?

I had math, history, science, and English class with Spanish or French (one foreign language). None of those taught me anything as useful as your class.

I came over when reddit said no more third party apps. I’ve been faithful to lemmy for nearly two years since.

I’ve experienced the same feeling. There can be hundreds/thousands of posts and yet no discussions. I pass by many interesting topics because there’s zero comments and it was posted to 10 different communities/instances. I know that’s how federated content works, but this method discourages interaction.

Then there’s communities like hacker news that doesn’t even post the content on lemmy, just the title and a link. I’ve ended up blocking them because I don’t want sign up on another site, I like my cozy app.

There’s a lot of niche communities from reddit here that people attempted to make but they ended up not taking off and are now wastelands.

I miss old reddit, but I’ll never be going back to what it’s become.

Because someone gifted me a game, my review now doesn’t mean anything. That doesn’t seem very well thought out.

I have a few games with an embarrassing amount of hours on that I’m not allowed to contribute to the score because they were gifted or redeemed through humble bundle.

Why even review at this point?

I’ve recently discovered your review only counts if you bought it through steam on the steam store.

If you get a key off humble bundle or another site, your review means absolutely nothing. There is a little star next to reviews now that tell you this.

I found it a bit disappointing for steam.

I just transitioned to Linux. Fully removed windows.

I’m doing my part!

The credit score only fucks poor people. The rich only benefit from paying less which they don’t even need.

If the general public understood how much money the rich pull out of society, this would be a different world.

I’ve recently transitioned to Linux. I’ve anyways steered clear off kernel level anti cheats for obvious reasons. How do these work on Linux if the game enables it for Linux? Is it still as invasive as Windows and does it still remain installed after uninstalling the game?

My local union is working six 10 hour days and then bragging how well they are taken care of. That’s not out of the norm either.

I’ve had one for years and not once thought about putting a carbonated drink in it. We really need to bring Darwinism back.

One thing I recently found that is extremely guilty of this is health insurance. They required a fax or mail to cancel. I chose fax and UPS sent it to the wrong number. What year is this?

You know they’re scared when they start to back pedal. Windows 11 is trash, but I’m not using their back up either.

Wtf kind of tweet shit is this? Is this a president speaking? Someone please relieve this thing of duty.

Can we pull the plug on Trump already? I swear this timeline is a cruel joke.

Here’s an idea, don’t release it on ancient hardware and then complain it’s not up to par.

I bought cyberpunk on release day for my PC and didn’t experience any of the bugs people were complaining about. I only had a 1060 too.

Is this specific to boost?

Have you found any work arounds for the image proxy issue?
