I’ve been absolutely loving Knower Forever by Knower from last year. Who else is doing stuff like this?

Anyone here play Poeltl? in c/nba@lemmy.world

I thought I was a pretty big NBA fan until I tried Poeltl and learned that I’m a lightweight 😂

DGPT Reinstating FPO Division at Upcoming Events, Launching New “United Series” Allowing Transgender Women to Compete (discgolf.ultiworld.com)

In a major reversal, the Disc Golf Pro Tour has reinstated the FPO divisions at all upcoming tournaments under a new “United Series” designation that will permit Natalie Ryan and other transgender women to compete in FPO at select events.

Cancelling FPO at some the most iconic tournaments was such a brain dead decision. Even if you have legitimate concerns about the competitive fairness of allowing transgender participation in FPO, it is clearly much more sensible to let Natalie play than to torch the entire division.

Shameful decision in my opinion. I can’t believe they’d rather burn the entire division to the ground than let one transgender competitor play.

Imagine Lemmy becoming so popular it drives Reddit to support ActivityPub or go extinct in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

That was also my experience on Reddit. Subreddits would sometimes have a culture in terms of the types of posts and comments that get upvotes, but I was never really aware of specific individuals.

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Twitter is sui generis because they were acquired impulsively by a maniac. But for the others, I think it’s just that interest rates were super low for a long time and now they’ve gone back up to a more historically normal level.

Woj: Michael Jordan is finalizing sale of the Charlotte Hornets, ending his 13-year run as majority owner in c/nba@lemmy.world

I feel like Jordan is too competitive to not care about winning.

I think it’s more likely that star players just don’t make for good owners, similar to how they don’t seem to make good coaches.
