It’s good to have options. You can’t make people do what you want them to do. Having options means being able to choose one central instance. People are going to be people collectively and sometimes you gotta follow the desire path.

Yeah, you’re not tucking around.

I don’t think a whole lot better off. I don’t think Reddit has a user base that is easily monetized.

Ask questions. Either people will or won’t engage but if you have any credibility with them, they have a little bit of buy in to listen to your shit. Then you just might get them curious.

Just the other day I was walking through our local VA campus and I was curious about why every roof of the buildings built in the 1920s has a bunch of little house looking vent things on the top. I think I know the answer but I’m still curious about it.

Probably not a good example of something to spark curiosity with, but you never know what will.

Thanks for sharing. My nephew went to rehab recently for Xanax and I didn’t really understand it. I didn’t want to prod him or my sister really, so I appreciate the insight.

It’s so important to distinguish between what games kids play. It really does make all the difference and a lot of parents aren’t equipped with the knowledge or tenacity to pursue it.

Yeah, it’s child dependent really. My oldest is pretty sucked into her minecraft and roblox shit but when it comes time to get off, it’s “ok dad.” My youngest on the other hand is a child scorned in the same circumstance. I’m just glad I don’t have worse behavioral issues with them.

I thought it was because Reddit is like “read it” and Lemmy is like “Lemmy show you this”. Lemmings is a great name though.

I’ve read comments by people saying they enjoy the feeling it gives other people when they give gold. Of course, the person I’m thinking of was long before all the fuckery with the expanse of awards.

Cutting costs by 3 billion certainly wasn’t going to turn Twitter sustainable.

There’s a surprisingly more expansive demographic that pro tip applies to.

Yeah, I enjoyed checking out the open collective link that was shared by another commenter.

I pretty much knew the answer to my question but mission accomplished in the sense of getting more info.

I suppose out of pet project versus donation, the latter is the less of two evils.

I found it! Very informative. Thanks. I hope the donations keep flowing.

I think it’s an age thing a lot of times. It’s like telling my kids to brush their teeth because of my experiences with dental, or you can plug any example like that.

I can tell kids not to preorder all I want. They just haven’t had the opportunity to be burned as many times as we have yet.

I believe it’s because green text messages used to function worse. It used to be that images and videos were lower quality and you couldnt react to txts.

Now green texts are more up to par with data driven messaging apps. I don’t know if people realize that yet or not. Also, unfortunately, of course there were people that it was a status issue. I don’t understand that.
