If Reddit goes down, what articles will pcmag decide to write about then?

[–] Swuden@lemmy.world 97 points 1 year ago (6 children)

And what will people post on lemmy about?

[–] MarcellusDrum@lemmy.ml 81 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it's the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.

Although, on Reddit we were always talking about musk and Twitter. Dumpster fires when the AIC (asshole in charge) deserves the harm coming to their profits and their website, it’s newsworthy and juicy content.

Although I do agree that it will slow to a trickle and then eventually stop. Not because the content stops being interesting to us, but because reffit will ultimately probably win in the end, they’re IPO will be profitable, they’ll continue down this enshittification road until FB make a Reddit competitor and then everyone that didn’t care about the API thing because they were too busy watching reruns of the Big Bang theory will move there. It’s the circle of tech life, eventually fb will own the internet

Though if Twitter goes under, I'm sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren't a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.

[–] Polydextrous@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Has it? In the last 30 years? White collar/corporate malfeasance enforcement has dropped like a fucking landslide in the 21st century.

@MarcellusDrum @Polydextrous Except that FB and Twitter technically occupy different markets

[–] ReadyUser31@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It was the same with Digg on reddit back in the day. Like you say, it'll die down.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

The Reddit thing is also extremely interesting to follow and is absolutely newsworthy.

[–] glorious_albus@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy is already busy complaining about meta

Don't worry we'll find something

I found a cool rock while I was on a walk this week edit: my dudes you're going to have to give me time to go back there it was a pretty big rock

[–] stown@sedd.it 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] uncreativechap@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I second this, you can't just claim that you found a cool rock without proving said rock is cool.

[–] athaki@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I, too, wish to see the alleged rock.

[–] Surprise_surprise@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Alleged rock or allegedly cool rock? IOW, are you questioning the rock's coolness or its existence? Both are valid.

[–] athaki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Both! If it exists I'm sure it's cool

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

He's holding out content, let's get him!

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Pics or it didn’t happen.

[–] Bobschnowski@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Post the rock. Please I need it

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !geology@mander.xyz

[–] crazycanadianloon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just leaving additional peer pressure here. WE WANT PICS!

[–] 0Empty0@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hilarious! You gotta admit though, it's kind of like Watching Pawn Stars on the History Channel. Like wtf is this?

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 2 points 1 year ago

Elon and Mark.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Beans, apparently.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably things posted here, except they’ll have some trouble sorting out the instancing stuff at first

[–] Sev@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I got quotes by a PC gamer article after commenting about a random , obscure battlefield rip off was announced for steam a couple of months ago.

I was very surprised upon finding it after a username google.

Thanks….I guess?! My comment was just a random nothing burger (well what’s changed there). Well done ‘journalists’!

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They can always rely on AI-written shitpost articles.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

RIP EmKay videos lol
