What a mess. I'm sad to see reddit go like this but at the same time I'm happy to discover lemmy. I hope lemmy keep growing now.

Exactly that. First day here, trying to find Reddit alternatives. Seems nice. If Reddit actually implements new policy on API requests, i feel that lemmy will host a lot of reddit refugees.

I love already how many downvotes Spez is getting. No one is seeing through their corporate answers and I LOVE it!!

Am I missing something, or has he only answered 3 questions? I had to go to his profile directly and look at his comments to see any responses to the ~2500 comments.

I think 4 now. Keep refreshing for new answers. He responded to the “threat” allegations towards Christian (Apollo dev) and it… isn’t going over well.

4-5 minutes between each comment, those are definitely going through a PR team first

His response about the "joke" seemed very personal. Definitely not polished by a PR team

I just think his brain is slow and it takes that time to find a comment he's willing to respond to, and then regurgitates the statements from the OP

Wow this is going very badly. Someone should ask "are you afraid of Lemmy?" it doesn't have regulation issues.

Not losing much if you get banned, I decided to name-drop Lemmy as well. I encourage everyone to mention it or whatever their favorite fediverse instance is.

It's time for social media to stop being ran by for profit corporations, it's just inevitable for them to ruin shit for the sake of slightly increasing quarterly profits

I'm a bit annoyed at the way people treat Lemmy on Reddit, most of the threads i've seen kinda dismiss it as being too confusing, and instead promoting other centralized websites which will eventually just become reddit 2.0

Sure it takes a bit to understand the fediverse but its fairly simple once you get the hang of it

Lemmy doesn't have a real app yet. I just tried using Mlem and can't even figure out (if it's even possible?) how to browse communities I'm not a part of, or even find a list of those I'm subscribed to. I just get a feed of either 'All' or 'Subscribed'.

"Fairly simply once you get the hang of it" isn't good enough. If you want people to use your service, you make it idiot proof.

Lemmy needs some work, but it's definitely got potential.

I don't want to ask them anything, I want them to go away and die off.
