  And even if you’re don’t get banned, just like Reddit, you may get down voted a lot if you go against the discourse of the current thread. But not sure if that’s fixable anywhere with big groups of people.

  Great movie. Almost up there with the Princess Bride for me in terms of nice, romantic, feel-good fantasy movies I can watch to always feel better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen any. I don’t know how people keep running into this lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original use is specifically a service platform that’s made worse by the owners to get more money after first being good to everyone to collect a large user base, then by squeezing the end users, then by squeezing the business customers to collect value for themselves.

  It sounds like a really specific definition, but you’d be surprised by how often it applies. He originally thought of it to apply to Tik Tok after noticing it following a similar pattern as Facebook, Amazon, and I think Google. Then the internet realized it could keep applying his term to so many more companies, like Spotify, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, Reddit, Microsoft, Apple, all streaming companies, and physical product companies like car companies or John Deere, etc and it’s shot up in popularity and use since then.

  Not sure of the general use case you describe, but the person who invented the term in that article I linked sounds like he doesn’t mind if it’s used in a more general case for things getting worse from greed, so feel free to go ahead and keep using it I guess lol. Although maybe we should come up with a different, more general term for that if there isn’t already one? I’ve got nothing, but if anyone has suggestions lol.

  That’s true, but it’s just not enshittification. It’s a different word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is the best social media⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their community came over here long before all us old Redditors and it seems like they’ve cultivated their one culture and in-jokes and such. It can get confusing to pierce all the irony and sarcasm to figure out what they’re saying sometimes lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't get how people can become depressed, when we live in the century of Fentanyl, easy access to alcohol and amusement arcades.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds expensive lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Retailer GAME To End All In-Store Video Game Sales⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I forgot to mention that I like to buy cheaper games through second hand rather than paying full price on electronic stores. Often even their big sales aren’t as cheap as secondhand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Retailer GAME To End All In-Store Video Game Sales⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still buy physical whenever I can. I’d hate to have my entire collection beholden to one account, although I know people do that with the PS Store, or Game Pass, or Steam. I don’t trust corporations, I guess. I really hope they don’t make disc-less consoles the standard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is coming to VOD next week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya I think it all builds on each other. Plus the experience has gotten less premium. For that price I shouldn’t see any phones or hear any people having lots conversations.

  But maybe that get less true as the theaters get more empty =(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is coming to VOD next week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was fast. No wonder no one goes to the theaters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exploding heads, too, but everyone defederated from that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfect weapon⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the explanation! Was wondering what the hell was going on, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have multiple accounts and feeds. I have one account with basically everything on my home feed and I either browse that account or Everything when I want to be informed doe just mindlessly doom scroll.

  On the other hand, this account’s subscribed home feed I put absolutely no news or political stuff on at all, so I just scroll subscribed for this or another account I have when I want to just tune out for a bit lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you consider to be the greatest action movie of the 2000s so far?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kung Fu Hustle is so good! I still think about some of those fights randomly sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mushroom ID⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, sounds like a classic miscommunication. I think we should all compromise and just agree capitalism is the problem lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the EU has been pretty good on privacy so far. Of course the US is trying to duck it up.
