Agreed, used to really enjoy the videos, but saw the same thing. Rebecca Watson does some good videos taking Sabine to task on this.

Oh wow, that does work! You’re my favorite person today PoopMonster.

I’m not totally sure what display names are. I did see an option in settings, but I also saw someone mention the option didn’t change anything for them. The up and down votes is a good question. I do like that about Lemmy, I would expect it to be included at some point, but I couldn’t guess when. The review in the options goes to the developer only, so it’s a good place to mention what is important to you. I’ve mostly been basking in the golden rays of app familiarity. The beta is far ahead of the established Lemmy apps in my opinion, just as it was for Reddit.

Same here. Home is exactly the right word. Took me way to long to find boost for Reddit. So glad it’s here for lemmy.

Please don’t clutter up the beautiful icon. I changed the reddit boost icon to the grey version as a reminder that Reddit killed it.

Maybe it’s the bubble I’m in, but I’ve seen the opposite in the news. Between climate, school shootings, minimum wage, student loan forgiveness, abortion rights, and marijuana legalization, one party at least acts progressive, while the other actively tries to block change. I’m not sure which conservative talking points are resonating with the majority of young people.

It’s possible, but as much as people are exhausted with Biden, nothing would get blue to turn out to vote like another chance of Trump. Blue would vote for a tent full of mosquitoes if it meant voting against Trump. Trump supporters have gotten more fanatical, not more numerous. Some of my own family members are currently in orange pill recovery. Not to mention all the Reds that died of COVID denial. Then you factor in young people now eligible to vote skewing blue. The only person I think Trump could beat honestly would be Hillary. Red would show up to vote against her if not for Trump.

I noticed when signed out, there is a lot more fight videos, rate me, am I ugly, kinda clickbait stuff that’s wasn’t there before the API change. It’s gross, like being on youtube while signed out.

Not to mention, thanks to the electoral college there are only 5 to 8 states that actually get to decide who is President. My current State has voted for a Republican every year since 1964. I would have had to have been born in 1943 to have a fraction of my vote count nationally. I still vote, but I live in a State where I might as well write in someone I believe in for President. If Biden wins, that’s better than Trump, but it’s still so bad. As my body is breaking down at a job that doesn’t pay for a house I can’t afford, asking us to wait 4 years for someone better is insulting.

A coworker of mine says, “If I’m meant to be in a hospital, I’ll wake up there.”

Winamp never left. Always one of my first installs.

I’m torn about r/place revival. I’m excited to see how people embarrass reddit management, but it feels like management is allowing it cause they know it will drive up daily active users they can brag about before the stock goes public.
