There is fortunately enough content across the fediverse currently to keep me away from Reddit and I hope it stays like this
And it will keep growing once Reddit finally kills the 3rd party apps!
i want to keep using RIF as long as i can, but within 5 days its all fed all day.
The Lemmy apps are slowly catching up to the point where it’s close enough to not matter. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the lack of useless fluff posts and doomscrolling that I used to do on Reddit.
Chef’s kiss also that aged wine be mighty fine!
It’s funny when this kind of thing happens. I built an app that was basically tindr for a project in college, several years before tindr started. Guess I should have release it
Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn’t take off and it only cost me a couple of month’s of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.
I did similar, but for Whatsapp. Mine pre-dated ubiquitous connectivity, so had to be SMS based, which limited scalability. Had I been perhaps 1-2 years later, I could have been cage-fighting Elon Musk and getting imploded next to the Titanic 🤷♀️
Hey don’t give up on your dreams! Although I will say, I’m not sure you can achieve them simultaneously.
Hold up, bear with me here, what if, ULTIMATE FIGHTING SUBS! Two billionaires have to build and pilot their own submarines to fight to the death in front of the titanic.
Could you give me 6 random numbers that are between 1-49 please?
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
Just remember to wait 11 years before doing anything with those numbers,otherwise it won’t work.
1, 1.5, 1.75, 1.875, 1.9375, 1.96875
9,41,8,7,24,33.
1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -49
4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4.
Dude is going to play the lottery with the numbers for the next eleven years.
…And only your own upvote. Reddit, you disappoint me more often than not. Welcome aboard!
You’re a prophet in my eyes, ser 👀
Got any stock picks?
+1 Or perhaps lottery numbers? I’m not picky
Please let me know as well
Dude, if I’d seen your comment 11 years ago, I would’ve thought that would be nonsense…
You were kind of a visionary.
(kind of, because decentralized social networks existed since then, but still).
Yeah I just did a search and looks like OStatus predates my comment. Plus it was more wishful thinking than an attempt to predict the future.
And no upvotes, because it’s obviously a stupid, unworkable idea.
What are your new predictions, oh time wizard?
Joo got it mang
Can we add to this free broadband wifi in all populated parts of the world?
I suspect with about a billion dollars (and but for the local state-enforced stakeholder protections in some areas) we could actually do this.
In that vain I would advocate for meshnets over ISPs.

So I was looking for your last post, not comment, and found that question about Yoga’s background you posted on AH. And, Wow, askHistorians was crap 12 years ago. Reminds me more of /r/history than anything else. There’s someone linking to a cracked.com article.
How does it feel to have something macro level you wanted actually come true?
I am very happy that lemmy is taking off now with reddit alienating their users.
…and what do you think the internet will look like 11 years from now?
