Already signed up. Got the login verification email, followed through and did the security thing, “type the word from our sidebar below” passed all that and can not login.

I appreciate that but don’t bother. I tried with the instance listed in this post and still got the same login issues even after receiving the email to login and passing the security check etc. I deleted the app. I’ve tried enough times and never had any success so I won’t be trying again.

I think they signed up at 50501.chat.

It's a shame that Lemmy is missing out on new users just due to signup issues.

"The dummies" didn't ruin either Facebook or Reddit. The companies changing policies and algorithms in an effort to drive profit did.

Sure bro, Reddit was amazing in the glory days of GamerGate and FaceBook infinitely improved when you didn't need a college email to sign up.

Nobody is ever claiming that any were ever amazing. I was on facebook when it was still called theFacebook and you needed a college email to sign up and I was on Reddit before Gamergate.

Opening up facebook to allowing anyone to join isn't what made it shitty. Not by a long stretch. It barely even existed when that happened. It was 2 years after the site launched. Back then there wasn't even a feed. The landing page was your profile with your Wall, and that eventually evolved into the feed. Peak facebook was from ~2006-2012. The thing that drove it to shit was the IPO and the drive for constant increase in quarterly profits that comes with a company being publicly traded.

GamerGate wasn't massive all over Reddit. It was largely on 8chan and 4chan and a few isolated subreddits, but it didn't even make the front page of Reddit until after mainstream media started reporting on it. Reddit has always had problems, but the thing that's made it really shitty, again, was the IPO.

Get over your superiority complex. Nobody cares.

I assume you're restating this to show your agreement?

You can assume whatever you like, you're already operating outside of reality so what's the difference?
