I would give you a worthless gold award but Lemmy doesn't have those.

Gold? The worthless metal used to hold latinum?

I'm still missing a lot of the niche communities that haven't cropped up here yet, but this instance and the USS Hood discord have been a diverting replacement.

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

give it time or better yet, start one yourself, it's a new day.

[–] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

The good thing is that the more niche they are, the easier it is to just move somewhere else since you don't have to convive millions of people.

BS comparison. Ferengi have at least some kind of moral compass.

[–] axtualdave@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago

By the 57th Rule of Acquisition, "Good customers are as rare as latinum. Treasure them," Reddit is being a bad Ferengi.

Instead of the FCA, it’s “F Users in the A”

[–] SickIcarus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

More like Rom.

Quite an impressive likeness of Spez there

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

No need to insult Quark, jeez.

[–] themizarkshow@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

I nuked a 15yr and 14yr old account on reddit. Just one more to go and today is the day.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

thx just made the switch today. already netting other positives being off reddit.

[–] glook@fedia.io 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I deleted my final two accounts today. It won't be easy, but it's time for me to move on.

@spiderkle So, do you want to be paid in pressed latinum or oppressed latinum?

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

lol that's good

[–] notquark@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whooooo that is a sexxxxy ferengi!

[–] qjkxbmwvz@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 year ago

I mean just look at those lobes 😏

[–] snake_case@feddit.uk 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like those bars have no lattinum their subreddits will have no posters

[–] spiderkle@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

no creators = no content = no faces to put ads in front of

edit: the restore feature is neat btw!

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm sure ChatGPT can keep filling r/AITA threads. At least half of them were made up already anyway.

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

Wait till someone let's catgpt's meow-engine loose on the remains of reddit.

Someone extracted all the latinum!...

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is so many situations where big business just wins, I’m so glad to witness a possible situation where the community wins (even if it’s short lived)

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

To even think people subscribed to reddit premium to help the still private company and it's devs.

[–] vqsv@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do we have an RES for lemmy?

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

So far, there are some user-scripts or extensions to customize Lemmy like old.reddit.com or according to your needs. At the moment, I am using Lemmy_monkey. There is a community called "Lemmy Plugins & Userscripts" covering everything you need

!plugins@sh.itjust.works

Even if currency were their currency...

https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/30/fidelity-deepens-valuation-cut-for-reddit-and-discord/

[Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund] has further slashed the estimated worth of its holding in the social platform Reddit... [it] valued its holdings in Reddit at $15.4 million as of May 31... That’s down 7.36% from the $16.6 million mark at April’s closure and altogether a slide of 45.4% since its investment in August 2021. The updated share value suggests a $5.5 billion valuation for Reddit.

It’s all just (Reddit) gold! Worthless gold!

[–] ColonelSanders@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Turns out one of the users they alienated was Morn. He was their best customer. And his stomach was full of latinum.

Well, it's been a good run at least.

[–] Turkey_Titty_city@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no kidding. been using this for a few weeks, and seen a noticeable increase in aggressive users the past few days who just scream, harass, and name-call at people they disagree with.

can't wait for the reddit idiots to flood lemmy instances with their hate and stupidity.

[–] Madison_rogue@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

This is my second week using kbin, and the magazine RedditMigration, while initially seemed to be a more welcoming place, has started to turn more vindictive towards Reddit. It's a large community with over 10k users...already.

I get it, people are upset, however it's time that people understand that Reddit isn't going to change, and that former users are just going to have to kind of get over it. Cut the losses and build a community over Fediverse. To me it seems fairly simple, but I know a lot of Reddit Refugees have put a lot more time and effort into the site over the years than me.
