Not American but the US had an extremely high tax rate on the rich for most of its prosperous years. It was only recent removed and you now have massive wealth inequality

This gets more absurd every new story lol

It’s pretty nice if you’re into programming articles! I wouldn’t say it’s a full reddit replacement since it’s more geared to programmers, similar to hacker news but I think it’s worth having around. There’s also a decent mobile app for iOS called Claw

Thank you so much! Do you want a lobste.rs invite?

I’d also love an invite as well if anyone has one. I can return the favour with an invite to lobste.rs :)

If a federated wiki could replace fandom.com I would be so happy. That site is a nightmare of ads on mobile and needs to be replaced.

These spam bots wouldn’t list themselves as bots so that wouldn’t work

This is what I switched to (and what I’m replying through), and I really like it. Definitely still needs more pollish but it’s a lot more fleshed out

I am missing the front page of my time wasting app not being entirely about internet drama (as much as I want to see reddit fail now)

You can’t get drunk off it? You’d have to have a really high alcohol tolerance unless you’re drinking really light beer.

Also, I like the taste of beer and so do most people who drink it, as I’m sure you know. I’m not sure what the point of you asking this is

I love it it because i don’t feel like my comments on posts just get lost in a landslide of other comments. It’s a smaller community but we have access to so much content through the fediverse. It’s perfect

I’m loving this non stop coverage of the blackout. It can’t be a good luck for investors interested in reddit

Other people have already mentioned that the comments are only soft deleted but I’d also like to mention that comments are an inconsequential amount of data so it’s not really worth it. What’d take up the most space would be stuff like link image previews and stuff like that

I can’t wait for the EU to finally just ban the site and app already.

It’s funny that the two biggest sites that the fediverse competes with decided to nuke themselves one after the other.

It’s not exactly the same but my city has “robot pizza machines” that are basically glorified vending machines with pizza that’s cooked daily and reheated on demand. It works really well for the company because they specifically put the machines in neighbourhoods where people go to drink.

I think as far as automated pizza goes, that’s the best way to do it.

Interesting. This means it would support running directly in a standard browser as well right? With a different launch configuration of course

Yeah a farewell would be good. In my dream scenario, he would open source it and the community could port it. That might be unlikely though

I’m hoping Christian ports Apollo to Lemmy. I’m not sure what the feasibility of doing so is but I’d actually pay a monthly subscription for the ability to continue using it

It makes me very happy to hear Linus say this
