Is this an error of some kind, or is this post actually that old? I’m using Liftoff so I’m not sure how to check for an actual post date.

Had a friend in high school. His parents were very well known surgeons and doctors. We lived in one state, but he went to high school in a different state at a private school focused on the arts and creative career development. His dad had his pilots license, not sure if he had his own plane or just rented, and he would fly his son to school for the year and back during holidays, breaks, or just when he wanted to come home for a weekend. Well he was back in town for the Christmas break, and had brought his girlfriend and his dorm roommate with him. He realized that he had left some stuff back at his dorm, so his dad was gonna fly him back to pick it up and then come home. (I think the flight there was only a couple hours). Anyway, they attempted to land but it was too windy, so they circled and came back once the wind died down. Unfortunately, as they were coming in for the landing, at only a few dozen feet in the air, a massive gust came in and flipped the plane over, crashing upside down in the airfield. My friend, his dad, and his roommate were all killed on impact. His girlfriend hadn’t gone with them to go back, she had stayed at his house. Super sad and sudden. We had all had lunch together at a Chinese place in town just the day or two before.

… I’m so stupid. I’ve been a Reddit user for over 12 years, constantly use “site:reddit.com” in online searches, have been DMing a currently 2.5 year long 5e campaign, and never once thought to look for a subreddit dedicated to DnD DMs… Welp, here’s hoping someone creates a similar community here.

I can’t tell if this is a serious question or not, but it’s pretty complicated to fully explain. The short of the long of it is that now that MySpace has started to use retina verification for their 2FA, people are upset that it’s an invasion of privacy due to the reflective nature of human ball eyes. Since Lemmy only requires a password for mod accounts, it’s an easier platform for people to use to share embedded auto play music and glittery gifs. I don’t think it’ll last though, word on the street is that Digg is going to be removing all authentication methods soon, so I expect a majority of the userbase will move there

Honestly the best thing for Lemmy would be if Reddit did completely reverse this decision and retain it’s users. Then, Lemmy would remain relatively small and act as a much better internet community. If Reddit loses a large portion of it’s users to Lemmy (to be fair, I am one of these people), then eventually Lemmy will become a festering wound as well. I mean, when Reddit was young it felt just like Lemmy does today, and none of us at that time could have ever expected it to end up this way.
