  • Lemmings is just the best name for us. It’s so anti-corporate, you can rest assured not a single PR team would ever greenlight it in the history of PR teams. We don’t need a PR team to approve our nickname, we don’t want a PR team to approve our nickname, we don’t want to have anything to do with whatever a PR team wants.

    In case anyone was unsure, lemmings don’t even jump off cliffs, that was literally just Disney staff throwing lemmings off cliffs like a bunch of psychopaths.

    Amazon Prime on my XBox literally doesn’t work without my PiHole. I need to block the ads otherwise nothing plays. My PiHole was recently down for a few days and suddenly we couldn’t finish any of the shows we were on.

    Never trust these companies, they want to destroy their own products in the name of profit. Undermine them everywhere you can.



  • You may be deleting your comments in the hopes that it will pull some value away from Reddit. That’s not true, in fact, the opposite is more likely. They will still keep the deleted posts in their archives, and they will still be able to train their AI models on the content. The difference is that now they get an extra datapoint: these are the kind of comments of someone who left Reddit and deleted their account/comments. If you deleted them right after leaving, that means they can place your account deletion in time around the API changes, which will also contribute to their AI profile.








  • Do not confuse any of the content you see on Snapchat as news. It is an advertisement. It is a free service and the content is highly competitive, so it must be enticing to pull you in and it has one objective: to generate revenue.

    If you want news, you need to find a new platform with different incentives. Lemmy removes the profit incentive, a news website keeps the profit incentive but add transparency.

    If you want to keep up with friends and they’re on Snapchat, then by all means use Snapchat, but the idea that you can use it as a platform to keep up with news is delusional.

    Literally all of them. Any big company is doing evil things, and I doubt there is an exception to that rule. Shop local, grocery shop at a co-op, eat local, prioritize products you know are actually made in your home country. Most importantly; just buy less. Repair the things you own, take care of them, borrow from friends. Never buy something “surprisingly cheap”.
