      I was gonna call you out on 18 years being way too long ago… Then I realized that 2005 was, in fact, 18 years ago. I feel old now.

              How was Digg’s fallout compared to Reddit’s current fallout? Similar? I never heard of Digg until after it went under.

                it was different. Digg underwent a major site overhaul and redesign that the users universally hated, and most everyone migrated to reddit almost overnight. the changes were rumored to be coming for a couple of months, so the migration had already started slowly over that time, but once Digg version 4.0 was implemented, a virtual tidal wave of users rushed over to reddit all at once.

                Reddit had already existed for a few years by that point and already had an existing user base and culture, similar to lemmy now. Unlike the Digg —> reddit exodus, however, reddit is. now many times the size that digg ever was and is dying a slow, ugly death. while lemmy is experiencing surges in users, it’s happening in several smaller waves rather than all at once as users explore several available alternatives, possibly staying on reddit and dealing with the crappy experience, or even going without it at all, having given up on social media altogether.

                btw, digg is still around, it’s just nothing like what it used to be.

    It’s good to see people’s feelings of superiority have carried over from Reddit.

    I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”

    Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

    Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That’s a good thing.
