Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.

The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you’re trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.

I can’t understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

This is absolutely it. The C-suite and senior management are made up of sharp people. They absolutely know this will trigger an exodus and a large bag of fire-able workers. They don’t care that they’re likely to lose a bunch of talented, hardworking staff. Its all been accounted for. At worst the results of a mass exodus will only impact their bottom line in a few years. They just need this years numbers to look good and line to go up.

Good luck with the tankies and 50 cent army.

I was fine with an ad every now and then.

I was fine with an ad at the start and end of a long video.

Ads on a 30s video? Ads on an Ad? Multiple ads at the start, multiple ads in-between and at the end? Jesus h. Christ. Removing the dislike button?

That was when I switched to ReVanced.

Why not both?

You take that back!

I had a sticker that had flashing LEDs powered solely on the radiation coming from the phone. It was awesome.

We know you wont. 😉

Exactly. The real protest would have been to totally ignore r/place. Could you imagine a blank canvas. That would have been epic.
