note that they (r/technology or Reddit?) censor PieFed, I had to say

Pie-Fed (without the hyphen, Reddit is censoring these comments)

      Yeah, it was nice while it lasted. I mostly replied to comments but after I got banned, I managed to pull every post I made that was a “how-to” tutorial.

      Will rewrite some of the VintageApple posts I made and put them on lemmy.zip shortly. Mostly stuff to tinker with old kit and logic board swaps and unsupported installs and the like… I think I’ve worked out even better instructions now.

        The number of people I still see on Twitter, or having their Twitter link as their main social contact on their website, is insane. Not just conservatives either.

      that’s how social media works

      reddit really hasn’t changed much since all 50,000 lemmings left

        I’d argue it definitely has changed, significantly. It was once a super useful research tool where lots of real users posted content. Most of the power users that posted “first page of Google” level responses nuked their accounts when they left, and it really shows.

        Used to you could google a rather niche question and find a pretty active Reddit thread about it

        Now it feels like almost every time I’m reading search results on Reddit, half the comments have been deleted, and the remaining ones are all 2 years old. Most newer threads are filled the the brim with generic fake engagement slop.
