- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 1 week ago:
The notion of “summer reddit” went hand in hand with the “moms basement” sayings, and even “touch grass” in a way:
Namely all of them ignore the simple fact we all have the internet in our pockets and can be chronically online and actually out in the world doing things at the same time.

Why does removing them from the site also mean cutting their user count from Active Users though?
- Comment on ROMhacking.net shuts down after 20 years; database has been moved to the Internet Archive 1 month ago:
after some further research, it became apparent that Discord staff could save a significant amount of money by changing S3 providers. The new bucket was set up, but when the time came to make the change NC refused to do it, even though he was not the one footing the bill.
There’s a conspicuous absence of explain why they wouldn’t do it. What were their actual concerns? Did they not voice them or are they just being withheld?
NC refused to join the Discord to talk about solutions in real-time.
Why was this a requirement?
Did we vent in private? Sure.
And what did you say?
Did we dox or threaten? Fucking hell, no! And frankly I’m LIVID at even the suggestion that we did.
Well something clearly happened if he’s family was brought into it, so if you’re going to skimp on the details, I’m not sure how I’m supposed to believe that.

If it’s a romhacking site, it wont have the actual ROMs, just the patches. It never would have survived 20 years if it had been hosting ROMs.
- Comment on We’re all feeling sequel fatigue – but Hollywood’s giving us Shrek 5 2 months ago:
Some will argue that sequel or franchise fatigue is not really a thing, in that it is immediately disproved when a hit like Bad Boys: Ride or Die comes along. But it’s hard not to feel fatigued when original films are just croutons in a Hollywood buzzword salad: made entirely of sequels and prequels and existing IPs and brands and reboots and remakes.
So basically the evidence suggests it isn’t a actually a thing, but you’re going to continue to imply it is?
The whole article just reeks of projection. The writer feels something, and insists the rest of the world feels it too, to spite the evidence to the contrary.
