“I peed in that”

-Eric

“…me my money.”

Whole point is to give the aesthetics of a standalone app… Ridiculous executive slop.

Is there a subtle way that one might damage these digital price tags to fuck up the store’s aspirations at surge pricing? You know, so we can watch to make sure nobody does that…

Alright, let’s do it then?

Blackout Friday

• Every Friday until he’s gone and damage is reversed

• We don’t transact at all each Friday.

• We directly call the businesses we would have shopped at that day to tell them the dollar amount we’d be spending with them if democracy wasn’t under attack.

• And/or email their corporate with the same message.

Maybe they can dismiss a total boycott that as a hollow, reactionary promise that will pass, but saying “I will shop with you much less” feels much more real and they can see it being enough to reverse their endless growth line. They care about one thing.

Who wants to post and get this started?

SO MUCH commerce surrounds a day at school. You disrupt that along with everything else.

If Mom doesn’t have to go to work, she doesn’t have to stop for that Starbucks on the way in and fill the gas tank. She doesn’t have to pay to park or feed the meter. If she’s not taking the kid to school, she doesn’t have to drop them off early at early day care and doesn’t have to give them lunch money to spend. If you’re not at work, you wouldn’t eat that shitty Subway at lunch and wouldn’t have to go to that gathering at TGI Fridays after work. Little things that add up. Point is to show them that there is a light switch. You turn it off for a day to tell them you could turn it off longer if needed .

Headline doesn’t want to say someone’s name…

Good point

Sure, the app that nailed this might separate itself as the popular option for zeitgeist to grab onto, but then it distributes users to many servers (as the app itself is an aggregator that’s agnostic to server. But yes, rush of that single app becoming “Lemmy” in many people’s minds.

But you likely need to treat migration and understanding nuance of the tech as two different user journeys. Rather than solving problem though, likely better to stop and ask why we even want more users (if we even do?).

I have a post early on Lemmy, around the migration, about how it felt like any morality and responsibility to objective fact over there left with our initially migrating group. The change is subtle, but it’s crazy how far you have to scroll into the comments now to find the buried correct answer that refutes the misinformation in the title or linked article.

Also, the “which movie is this for you?” Type posts have just saturated over there. As well as shit, obscure linked sources (e g. “Indiatrump.biz” “realzgovtruth.info” kind of shit), as sources of front page upvoted posts, seem so much more prevalent over there now.

Could have auto versus manual server choice. Can always maintain option for granular selection for those who want, but “normies” could walk into a quiz when migrating?

• Top three things you used Reddit for? (List of maybe 10+ things, servers can maintain their feature list to empower this)

• Do you like A) talking to everybody about days topics B) talking to a smaller group of like minded people

• Do you like A) a MORE moderated space B) a LESS moderated space, realizing you may see more spam and controversy

And then calculates a server that meets needs, if multiple, then random number generator to assign a server from the filtered options. On user side, all they see is a quiz followed by a typical registration screen. This would help with distribution of users across niche servers, but feel lighter for user. They also would assume a more curated experience, regardless of where they end up. Servers could have to opt in to be fed users from search of they were afraid of impact on cost to maintain server.

The above likely aren’t the right questions, but this framework could be effective

Am I actually trying to talk you out of believing objective reality that you saw with your own eyes? A deeper analysis (and surprising findings)

Contributing is noble, appreciate your effort as we have to build. But you scroll past articles constantly in your daily life, you have a line below which you don’t post, you should raise your line. No value in this post. At best it’s boring and isn’t additive - and I do contribute actively.

Cool, so don’t post a bullshit non-news article then? There is nothing of substance here? Nobody needed this “news”, what are you doing, dude?

This is a misleading headline. Fuck your technicality. Free trial… TRIAL.

You did it! No delivery fee! You’re so lucky!

Oh hey… Unrelated, but let me get $20 in “fees” please.

Really though, congrats on that delivery discount though, you’re really coming out in top, putting me through the ringer, bud!

First they came for…

Yeah, you can still get something from the odd crank, but used to be much more practically useful for day to day needs.

If you feel any kind of meaningful trustworthiness from a Facebook profile, you’ve probably got some other things to worry about…

God… remember how fucking simple craigslist was when it hit it’s peak? The fact that Grandpa could take a shaky flip phone picture and post a thing you needed right around the corner, no fat or other frivolous horseshit…

Craigslist is still simple last I checked, but the user base left and now dominated by spam from retail and drop shippers masquerading as local people selling goods from their garage.

Nothing gold can stay
