Ahh, replit. Wanna know how to completely destroy your service, community, workforce and reputation in less than a year? Ask them.

I used to use replit at the height of its popularity. If any of you know what Glitch was, it was like that but way cooler.

You could program in virtually every programming language, write Discord bots, make games, talk to people about coding and get viral from your programs. It was basically programming but with social media and with extremely easy to use text editor and theme support basically made Replit the #1 place to program on the Internet.

Then, the AI boom happened. And replit wanted quick cash immediately. So they up their subscription prices slightly with Replit Agent, basically ChatGPT but for programming. They then removed their school system, and decided to stop virtually all community support. Now a lot ot the top projects were AI based but at least you could progran right? Not anymore.

Halfway through 2024, Replit decided to kill the platform in one fell swoop. They restricted all free users to only 3 projects, 1 GB of storage and severely throttled CPUs as well. This made the replit userbase tank. They removed all community features and essentially ghosted everyone. Anyone with a brain abandoned replit and just programmed on their own computers.

It’s so sad what happened but hey, at least replit made people who would never program once in their lives programmers through ease of use and social factors.

Just drink water

You will not be missed

Obligatory goku meme

Avoid .world .ml and grad and you should be good

Never said it was ok for the health insurance companies to do what they are doing, they are parasites

Once again you are missing the point that shooting a guy in the street simply exacerbates the problem and doesn’t solve it

You seriously think Luigi’s actions helped people? You think health insurance companies will forget their prime directive because 1 CEO died? In fact this will just make them even MORE greedy because they have the police on their side now and they can be terrible without consequence

If I shoot the Nestlé CEO does that return all the water they stole from Africa? Of course not, and if that happened you people would probably be celebrating that as well

Luigi’s actions have been a net negative to society, and will just create more divide between people. What do you think the world would be like if everyone had Luigi’s mindset of “I’m going to kill this person because I don’t like them”. We would be in complete chaos and a warlord would break into your house and either turn you into a slave or kill you in 1 day

I’m not ok with the health insurance industry, but I’m also not OK with shooting people in the street instead of even trying to fix the issue diplomatically. Seems lile everyone has lost their collective minds over this and just default to “Health care bad so we can kill CEOs!!!”. Without ever questioning the overreaching consequences.

The amount of Luigi simping on Lemmy is disgusting and I haven’t said anything until now because I knew this would be the exact response. Adults having the functional capacity of children and refusing to see that this type of rhetoric is going to cause so much violence. Disagree if you want, I’ll happily argue with you because I like arguments, but just know that this type of language is, and has been, responsible for so much suffering and hatred in the world.

The fact that having basic fucking morals is said to be “dictated by the state” is completely mentally inept and it’s wild how people actually think this is GOOD. Shame on you all.

I know bad for democracy and everything but

This app has done nothing positive for my life, arguably began my social media addiction, filled my brain with negative content at the height of COVID and severely impacted my mental health

I don’t think governments should ban platforns. But do I think TikTok should have ever existed? No

There’s no way you think it’s possible for him to come out of this right? The dude is either going to jail for life or getting the chair

Lets’s push for the peaceful option

While you’re shilling for a murderer, that’e some level 9000 cognitive dissidance that even lunduke would be proud of

so if i have my taxes misdone and i bomb the IRS building and steal all the money inside, its just really slow tax return

I never said he’s a bad person, just that he’s a criminal.

I’m glad he is dead and Luigi is a hero if he did it.

Absolutely sickening comment and its insane that this is SOMEHOW the ““morally correct”” opinion to have on this platform

I love how you completely ignored my point and just went back to health insurance, you people are unsavable

So some random person, can become judge jury executioner and kill whoever they want isnt a dangerous precedent? So if Luigi had killed a homeless man instead of brian thompson you wouldn’t be celebrating it right? That’s what im talking about

Great! Seems like a small subset of people are coming to the fediverse again like durring the reddit blackout. Always love having more people to speak to.

Absolutely gonna get downvoted to hell for this but he killed someone. Murder is a crime. He’s a criminal. Whether you think the person he killed deserved it or not is irrelevant, giving a free pass because of that sets an extremely dangerous precedent

I understand people are tense about healthcare and sometimes become emotional but come on man. Do better
