It’s Friday, the day before the weekend and there will be some Sun!
What a beautiful day today ❤ also i ordered 4 spatulas and they gave me 6 yay 😄
Ok I’m just gonna say it. Ok I’ll just whisper… I miss reddit, this doesn’t feel the same. Strangely, I also feel ghosted? Melbourne reddit gone without a trace. The other city subs are back, but Melbourne still in lockdown (and there wasn’t even a press conference.) It is a good space here, but I don’t know I am nostalgic I guess.
The DT is a like grassroots digital community that shows respect and kindness to each other that other subreddits could only dream about. With a new moderator that is known and quite frankly kicking arse so far. and we don’t need to provide reddits CEO with more money through advertising dollars when we are literally on the ground floor of something new and exciting here.
We can build this place however we want.
It kinda feels like the old DT of reddit sans reddit. Kinda feels like home away from home and it’s you guys who are helping. I’m glad I decided to join this place after all. Feeling happy and slightly teary? You all are good eggs in my book
being poor poem
Rent has been paid, and now it’s quite tight
I’ll spoil the puss because he’s my light.
Not enough for my meds so it’ll be hard tonight,
Too many night-terrors, but I should be alright!
Things will get better, this is just a tough spot,
I will get better, I will improve my lot.I tried to yoink my avatar off reddit, but it didn’t really work…
It looks like someone bonked me on the head then took a knife to half my antenna thing :(
how about this

OMG its a giant Baku.

BAKU
Theverge.com has some updates on the reddit saga. Basically, reddit says get stuffed. So if the r/Melbourne mods are gonna stick to their guns get comfortable gang. We ain’t going anywhere any time soon.
So has there been any updates on the Reddit saga? I’m low key loving that I get to live through a part of internet history for once. I hardly used Twitter. I wasn’t on iPhone for the privacy breaches. I think this is the first big scandal I get to witness first hand. Well, except maybe the blaster worm back in ‘03.
Looks like there’s 341 subscribers in this group! Heck yeah!
… still feel like there are missing peeps though
bums me out that many might have missed the (tiny?) window when this link was kicking around before r/melb got locked up and not even know this place exists. i feel like the reddit thing might fizzle out and we all end up back there, but who knows
I mean I’m ok with this place being temporary and we all head back when it re-opens or stay idk 🤷♀️
But yeah seriously odd that they mentioned midnight and 4pm you couldn’t post anymore. Lucky I saw someone’s comment with the link and had 30 mins to an hour until they closed shop (11-11:30pm)
I rather people know this here exist so they don’t feel out of sorts. I would miss everyone too much if I was away for too long. I struggled with 2 days
Same for me! I didn’t check the thread until 11pm. Or I’d have missed the whole thing.
i wanted to post SKY PRETTY but couldn’t
Omg that’s what I wrote as well and went to click post but nothing happened. Tried it 3 different time with several minutes given between pressing post and nada lol we both thought to post the same thing
It is listed on the r/melbournereborn pinned post, so the link is still out there but yeah, you have to go hunting for it
the r/melbourne message only links to the discord though so people might not be able to find the reborn sub
Is there anyone who used the Melbourne discord and has linked this place as a just in case?
i could try posting the link there but there are SO many messages i day i doubt anyone would see it. I don’t recognize the user names there either
I believe you can pin a post but it’s not the easiest to find even if it’s pinned which sort of defies the purpose. Is Juggernaut one of us?
I have no idea. It might be awkward for me to pin a post there too since I don’t participate.
It’s a really impressive uptake honestly. So happy so many regulars came over
me too, I’m so glad, especially since most are people I converse with on pretty much the daily
