    No chips, no ram, no SSDs. The industry found it’s foot and shot it.

    This is going to be like the housing crisis but more permanent.

          Reddit started forcing login for old.reddit. That’s one driver, and why I made an account here, and have read several comments from others saying the same.

            I came in over the summer when they started piloting locking out web browser lurkers. I was a long time Apollo user and Lemmy is the closest thing.

            Shutting down old.reddit will undoubtedly bring more people over. Not everyone wants to use that shitty app.

            I get why that’s so annoying. But I’m not sure why it would drive new signups here. Isn’t that more of an issue for people who don’t want to create an account?

            Feels like we need a really strong Fediverse/Threadiverse search engine to fill the gap left by Reddit ending open access.

              For me, it was more about supporting the “small guy” who isn’t trying to profit off my data.
