It went offline, as do all of those platforms that only cater to one subreddit’s worth of users (especially the edgy ones). But it wouldn’t surprise me if the admin had three letter agencies breathing down their neck and just packed it in.

Reaper is great. Fantastic dev team and great forums for support. And, most importantly, the license is affordable for bedroom shredders like me.

I’ve tried with open source DAWs but audio software is still decades behind in the open source world. I’m on Reaper and Ableton but I would love to ditch them. Toontrack products on linux is a pipe dream too. I’ve had nothing but issues over the years so still need to dual boot.

Okay, this is a nice sentiment but the money is long gone. It was spent when the equipment was made. It will either be scrapped or left to rust in a hangar.

This is a bit of a cynical take. $345m is not that much to the US government. It’s not going to deprive anyone in the US. Plus, what are homeless people going to do with military equipment?

If it was $345bn I’d agree but this is barely even going to register on the accounting spreadsheet.

Well firstly, why do you care about being banned if you’re leaving Reddit?

Come to terms with Reddit not dying overnight. Lemmy isn’t going to vanish if people don’t move over straight away. Reddit will eventually succumb to the 1000s of tiny self-inflicted cuts. Post content that isn’t on Reddit and people will have a motivation to stay here.

I’d like to see people give less of a shit what other men wear.

Fashion might be the most consumerist addiction we have in the world and fast fashion is wreaking terrible damage. Any creativity is lost to brand addiction and trend chasing. Don’t even get me started on advertising!

Clothes serve a utility, but fashion is the capitalisation of envy and materisalism. Wear monochrome if you want. Wear pink if you want. Just don’t kill the planet in the name of “fashion”.
