  Pretty much this. It’s why I love it for my use case (microblogging journal that only I can see), but it’s definitely not for everyone else. I

  t’s why if your average influencer or news consumer wants a Twitter alternative, it’s likely Threads or perhaps BlueSky, not Mastodon.

  Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I watch highlights on YouTube when uploaded. But I stopped watching late night shows a long time ago… ever since Conan left NY. Although that coincides with me finding work and never having the time to watch live (which is around 1pm here). Then streaming became a thing shortly after that and we had to cut cord.

  I re-watched Beethoven’s 2nd a few weeks ago and everything made sense now.

  Charles Grodin was always suspicious of Danny Masterson’s character right from the start, up until the very end. Danny also has a weird reaction when Ryce says she was looking for Taylor, knowing his opportunity to introduce her to Scientology was blown.

  We’re now a step closer to making dogs with BBs in their mouths and when they bark they shoot BBs at you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t been using Wordpad for 20+ years. Notepad could do everything it does already. Then, you also have Firefox’s built-in inspect to tinker with code on the fly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What show took you the longest to get into?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Wire.

  I downloaded the entire series in 2010, hoping I could binge-watch it while I’m still on night shift. Couldn’t get myself to finish the slow boring pilot, set it aside, and forgot about it completely.

  More than 10 years later, I see it on HBO Max remastered. Managed to survive EP1, and quickly after that, I couldn’t wait to watch every other episode.

  I’ve always said the best shows are the ones wherein you can name every character to even the smallest one and know why they stuck with you. The Wire is one of those and remains my favorite of all time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What shows had awkward or otherwise poor returns from cancelations?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really cancelation per se, but some of my favorite shows came back from the writer’s strike in 2007-08 pretty poorly.

  Sarah Connor Chronicles was axed shortly after they went back on air. Chuck’s post-strike material was S3 and beyond, and that’s when it started to jump the shark for me. Prison Break S4 was exceptionally bad, even by PB standards.

  Dexter did have the Trinity Killer, which was the best season and antagonist by far.

  And to make matters worse, insist that no amount of modification would justify buying that cooler ever. It’s literally covering your ears and muttering la-dee-da repeatedly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Linus just needs to miss the Denslow cup and play ball, and he’ll be just fine.

  Pretty cool, although if you have a Steam Deck, you can easily chuck them in there along with several other retro console titles. It was through SD I was finally able to play Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground since I missed out on them.

  I was going to say we already have The Boys for that, and then I see Stormfront is in the cast list.

  I don’t care what everyone says: Killer Joe was one of the best films of that year and is incredibly funny.

  What a coincidence. I was just rewatching the clip of Sam Gerard telling the screaming girl to “Shut up” last night.

  The problem is people are selling Lemmy the wrong way, lol. The average user doesn’t give a fuck about decentralization or federation. If you want to convince people that Lemmy is a good Reddit alternative, you have to show them the content/discussions and the UI/UX.

  UI/UX is getting better, but still far away. The mobile apps are okay. Content is still behind, mostly because most lemmings aren’t helping their communities in generating content and engagement. The moderators can only do so much in curating. You got to help them out by posting content as well or at least commenting on the threads. Don’t just lurk.
