Oh, ok. I don't have any kind of beef with anyone who stayed. I wasn't aware there was any competition or tension.
I just saw the owner openly say that he wanted to emulate Musk then engage in strongarm tactics, and went 'yikes' over where that behaviour might lead. What the site might turn into. Also the whole selling user data to AI thing is not something I agree with. Would potentially consider frequenting both places casually if the owner stopped being a raging jackarse or sold the site. If it was like it used to be.
The mix of people in the DT seems to have changed though. I don't recognise many usernames anymore so if I did ever return that would be another adjustment.

No. Don't even think it. We'd all end up all eating weetbix with honey and bananas. A fate worse than death.

No, it would be an inedible slop of incompatible foods mashed together.
Or glue pizza Edit: Or deadly mushrooms.
I check in once in a while and the only people I generally recognise are MajorBear and HurstbridgeLineFTW. I feel like a remember Bear being over here during rexxit for a while, but HLFTW was anti Lemmy I think
I kinda miss epicpillowcase's devotion to intellectual and social honesty. If the emperor has no clothes, we could depend on them to prevent that emperor from booking a seat on an airline for the foreseeable future.
Two sites both alike in dignity, in fair Interbutts we lay our scene
The fault is in the interwebs
I miss jayyberwocky lemon and⦠shit I forgot his username, the bloke who was gonna have a kid shortly after mine.
TaxiSonoQui?
I donβt think so, I think it was a 1 or 2 word username. Pretty sure he and his Mrs have had their kid since.
