  I never cared much about Reddit, but then again, I'm not using Lemmy either. So maybe you're right.

    This confused me, because your name is just @cabbage. Which indicates that you’re on my instance. @cabbage@lemmy.world.

    Instead, you’re @cabbage@piefed.social

    But you show up as @cabbage.

    I don’t understand life.

      I think, on your end, my user name probably shows as just "cabbage", not "@cabbage". Which indicates it's a user name (not exclusive), not a handle (exclusive).

      Similarly, OP shows up to me as "Aurora (she/her)" rather than "aurora_glamour", which is her handle. Piefed still displays the instance though.

      It might not be ideal, as it makes imposters possible. Then again, that has always been the case by using visually identical Unicode characters, so it's not entirely a new problem.

  When you posted this, I was just telling my son about the blackout and showing him videos on it. So, yeah, maybe not related to why is called Lemmy, but fuck spez!

  Please stop. This is cringe and old. Not everyone is here for that.

    There’s nothing old about how shitty Reddit has become when nothing has changed. Run by a greedy CEO, shitty admins, shitty mods, full of ads and bots, and now getting data scraped for AI training.

    To suggest this is old news is to suggest people should just forget about it and move on. Welp, nothing has changed, and if anything, Reddit has gradually been getting even worse.

    Act like I signed up for my data to be scraped?

    FUCK SPEZ!!!

      I would argue both of you.

      To @ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com I say, fuck spez. We’re all here for that.

      To @over_clox I would argue it’s not old news but only because it’s not news at all. That would be like saying the sky is blue is old news. Reddit being shitty is just something we all know, we have always known, and will always know. So, it’s not new news, it’s not old news. It’s just life. Things people know. 1+1=2, and fuck Spez.

        And I could say Elon and Trump are old news. Sure, fuckit, let’s just let all the oligarchs get rich, take control, and steal all your data at the same time.

        Or like NOT!!!

        Don’t forget, eat the rich, and fuck the oligarchs.
