Because there are still some great communities on Reddit that don’t exist in the same way elsewhere.

I moderated a mid sized sub for a while. Around 100k users. It was a hobby I was into and I figured may as well moderate because I was spending a lot of time on the sub anyways. It also let me put together some community events which were always fun. Once it stopped being fun and started feeling like a job, I left. I never really thought about it as doing free work for reddit and more helping community building for a hobby I had. People do it for all sorts of reasons. The “power mods” are really the issue.

Nate Bargatze is one of my favorite comedians at the moment. He did so well hosting. Honestly the only SNL episode I watched lately lol.

The closest I can find is that he just seems like such a smug asshole.

Check out Tom Scott Plus! He challenges himself a lot on that channel and pushes himself out of his comfort zone! I think it’s a great display of his humility and shows him outside of his usual role as more of a narrator on his main channel.

Some of my favorites from the plus channel are the episodes where he gives his producer a tattoo, overcomes his fear of rollercoasters, and tries to learn wrestling.

If they’re really just after data at all costs, they could easily spin up an instance that has no apparent link to threads and federate secretly. I agree with other arguments about not federating with them but idk, all these data privacy arguments against federating with threads are so dumb. If they want it, they’ll get it because getting it is so absurdly easy.

Not sure what you mean. They can already pull any public data on lemmy, as can anyone else.

he used to accept donations way back but stopped since he felt like he could make do without them

He actually has channel memberships now but with absolutely no perks lol. There’s no expectation to become a member which is nice. I’ve been subbed to the $2/mo tier for about a year or two now. Been watching etho for like 10 so it’s nice to support a little more directly than blocking ads lol.

Definitely some of the best production value on youtube. Even his stuff from 10+ years ago holds up incredibly well aside from the resolution.

Dude. Have you been to taco bell? You can get a well over 2000 calorie meal for like $15

Welcome to lemmy. I hate big corporations but some of the people on this site will blame amazon when they stub their toe.

I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins!

They were probably just out and too busy to restock or something. It happens. Never been to a fast food place where they don’t provide napkins and I steal napkins from the taco bell I live near regularly. What a weird overreaction.

This meme will now be my desktop image.

Aero is the name of the windows UI design, but it’s also a major defining factor of the wider frutiger aero aesthetic that was prevalent in loads of other tech and marketing at the time. I recommend reading the link you sent because it just backs up what I said.

Fruitigo ero is more about the glossy UI design of the windows vista/7 era than those photographs.

I’ve lucked out a couple times on flights to Europe from the US where I got the whole middle row of five seats to myself. Flights have been completely packed in recent years, though.

Just tried and it said I needed a payment method from the country.

The vast majority of content uploaded is never going to make them any money. They get free content but hosting it is incredibly expensive.

Probably would be difficult if you can’t see, though.

Nate Bargatze had a pretty good joke about the same premise:

Loads of instances don’t require an email to sign up so that doesn’t make any sense.
