no, been a freebie user since Google Readers died and honestly, for the way I use it, to pop on and scroll through the feed then clicking on some articles? I’ve never felt limited or like I needed to pay to do anything.

RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.

Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.

So I use both.

Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.

Good stuff!

While I think you car analogy is flawed, maybe a bus analogy would be better?

Anyway, I think the biggest complaint is really about what the site was, what it was for, and now what he’s done to the site to destroy all of that. It’s not the first time something with a lot of users, readers, fans, etc absolutely hated when a new direction or ownership of a company ruined everything they loved about the company.

People have spent YEARS of their lives on that site. It wasn’t my main jam, easy to delete for me, but it was a source of news and what’s happening right now. But for some people, especially those with a following, it was their main voice and this dumb billionaire manbaby is just destroying it.

Shhhhhh…

don’t tell anyone! we like being forgotten in the generational online wars.

we only have a switch and a few ios games, we pay for game, play game. Check done.

yeah, unfortunately everything and everyone is doing their dangdest to get there - that reoccurring revenue is toooo tempting.

We keep seeing a pivot to “services” in so many industries, from movies and tv to music to even Apple - expect the same from big gaming.

Sure, there will be some justifications for the new hardware, but it t will be for the niche hardcore gamers, but not for the majority.

Makes sense, it’s just the way it’s all going.

Perfect! The game is ridiculous and trippy! But slow and chill. Good stuff!

Phogs is super fun with a partner, you each control one head and solve puzzles and get around. It’s silly, fun, sometimes super easy, sometimes like huh? but enjoyed it!

hey now, don’t underestimate them fuckers.

Not sure if you are being serious. There are levels of socialism and social safety networks that still allow democracy and even capitalism. It’s regulated heavily, wealth is limited, and resources are shared to those who need it.

Bible Jesus fought systemic poverty & for the shunned in society, made it very clear how he felt about the rich & powerful.

It’s mind-boggling to consider neoliberal christianity. It literally goes against everything your god/god’s son fought for… I don’t understand how christians aren’t leading the fight against wealth inequality, systemic poverty, and improved social systems.

“How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’”

Jesus was a socialist.

WWJD?

Jesus was a socialist.

Finishing Phogs and working through Super Mario 3D World

I’m usually on board early but all the keyboard bugs made me hesitant.

Been on it for my iPad for a while. Time to hop on with the iPhone. Only a month until the new devices anyway.

Yo dog. I heard you like working so we made it so you strap your work onto your face!

haha! most people around here just have little old row homes

Answered above sorry, my bad, wrong thread.

No. Those are multi family homes. My neighborhood is middle class. An area called Hampden in Baltimore

Not horrible in Bmore but definitely legit!
