I've been spending a lot of time on #Lemmy and #kbin and the communities both here and there remind me a lot of the communities that I encountered in #IRC chatrooms and #newsgroups back in the day, ie. highly nerdy, highly tech literate.

The #fediverse creates a lot of interesting new technical and social problems, but it also solves the problem of how to get big tech the fuck out of my social media. I think I'll stay.

Just ran PowerDeleteSuite on my #reddit account and deleted every one of my comments over the past 8 years. I will permanently delete my accounts after Apollo and RIF shut down. Also, lemmy and kbin are looking rad and possibly preferable to mastodon in some ways.

The #reddit fiasco continues to get more comical. Steve Huffman is really putting forth a strong effort to topple Musk as the world's shittiest, most tone-deaf tech CEO.

Reddit's capitalist overlords have immensely benefited from the untold, countless, compensation-free human-hours provided by their users and moderators, yet they still have the astonishing balls to whine about their payday. While much of the content is schlock, it cannot be overstated how badly these assholes have fucked this up, and their vast repository of human knowledge is too important to be entrusted to them. Humans need a new reddit.

#CNN is dogshit and has been since its inception. Cable news is a travesty unleashed on humanity, and CNN was the progenitor. Making them villain of the week doesn't change the fact that they've been the villain of the century since the 90s. Chris Licht's hopefully impending resignation will not make them better.

Reports are coming in that known shitbag and fugitive Do Kwon has been arrested in Montenegro. If true, it won't make his victims whole, but at least he won't be living in luxury off of their stolen cash for a while.

The Vegas Loop appears to be nothing more than the world's most boring Disney ride as it has absolutely zero practical use as a high-speed transportation system. The Teslas can't even self-drive on a closed course. Just a garbage technology.
