What exactly do you think discard means?

Did you know that you’re allowed to write all the letters in the word F-U-C-K on the internet?

That back texturing too. I still remember how it felt when I first took it out of the box.

Yeah, I totally get that. I think that there is this insatiable desire for the upstart site to topple the previous site. On Digg we made fun of Usenet and Fark, on Reddit we made fun of Digg, on Lemmy people are always saying “fuck Spez”.

I think that people are worried that if Lemmy doesn’t keep growing (at Reddit’s expense), then it will collapse under its own weight. I hope the federated model works out. I could easily host a Lemmy or KBin instance on my homelab.

But yeah, the depressing truth is that as soon as someone invents a profit motive, it’s only a matter of time before it’s ruined.

Lemmy feels like the internet used to. Not about ads and algorithms, but just people interested in things asking questions and engaging naturally.

What a shitty phrase. Acting like pedagogy isn’t a thing and teachers spend years learning techniques for teaching different age groups just fall into the job.
