There will only be an exodus if there is a better alternative than Lemmy/kbin. Remember that twitter was still going strong despite mastodon existing until bluesky won the race and became the new twitter. If reddit somehow manages to collapse one day, most of the people won’t go to lemmy because it’s already been shown it’s not an attractive or equivalent replacement for it, so either something new reddit-like appears or nothing changes.
Bsky has actual people from twitter I wanted to follow that never bothered with mastodon
Lemmy doesn’t show it but it is accumulated, from fedia I can see you have over 42k reputation points for example.
And yes, it is a meaningless number. That never stopped people before though.
It is also a bit karma-farmey, this comic isn’t new and there are hundreds of it - is OP going to post every single one?
Agreed 100%, I got Andromeda at a heavy discount after more than a year after the release and I was still extremely disappointed. The animations are the least of the problems that the game had, it was just an soulless formulaic empty open world with terrible writing and horrible characters and dialogue.
If it weren’t a mass effect game it’d just be a commercial flop and nobody would remember it in a month. Since it was, people were disappointed instead of being apathetic. It was by no means unfairly judged though, it is a bad game.
It is getting more present at work every day, I keep having to hear even seniors how they “discussed” something with chatgpt or how they will ask it for help. Had to resolve some issue with devops a while back and they just kept pasting errors into chatgpt and trying out whatever it spewed back, which I guess wasn’t that much different from me googling the same issue and spewing back whatever SO said.
I tried it myself and while it is neat for some simple repetitive things, I always end up with normal google searches or clicking on the sources because the problems I usually have to google for are also complicated problems that I need the whole original discussion and context too, not just a summary that might skip important caveats.
I dunno, I simultaneously feel old and out of touch, angry at myself for not just going with the flow and buying into it, but also disappointed in other people that rely on it without ever understanding that it’s so flawed, unreliable and untrustworthy, and making people into worse programmers.
