I had 20k I’d saved up during the pandemic to pay off my loans. That was going to go towards my first house but it appears the party of family values wants otherwise.

Dude, this is just laughable. For those who are left, what are you sticking around for?

Also, here’s my theory: these idiot product managers, fresh outta b-school didn’t think to interview their most engaged users. Instead, they randomly polled people. That’s the only way I can fathom their takeaway from users was “it’s too much clutter” instead of, “this drives engagement”.

GOP’s really making keeping Michigan blue easy these days.

Hats off to em.

I can browse c/All now and have a great time. Sure, there’s a an NSFW post here and there, but unlike Reddit it’s not chock full of some toxic shit.

This place is just good vibes all around.

Yea, what’s to stop me from creating a bot to ping the Reddit API, grab the top posts from a sub, check for duplicates, then repost to Lemmy using their API.

Granted, I’m making many an assumption here.

This is a quality ass comment. Cheers to you.

This makes me wonder: how could governments police the Fediverse? With Reddit they could just threaten the company, but what are they going to do with Lemmy? Threaten whoever hosts the instance?

I’m guessing that’s why people are recommending finding an instance that isn’t USA based.

Hell yes. My wife and I are thinking about moving back from deep red TN, where they gerrymandered away Nashville’s one representative. Seeing the GOP in Michigan keep shooting itself in the foot is great.

Gods bless you stranger

Yea, I keep thinking this. Once there’s an app on Android and iOS, one that can explain the fediverse simply and is well designed, many of the Apollo, RIF, and Sync users will jump over.

Agreed. There’s a ton of users that would move because of the user experience. On top of that, these are some REALLY engaged users, the kind needed to make this platform grow.

Jesus, I really miss Hawaii.

Went there two years ago and it was one of the best trips of my life.

Kauai was more my vibe, slower paced, more chill, but Maui was a good experience too

So many niche subreddits that help me explore my hobbies. Sailing, pipe tobacco. I just got into tiki style drinks and discovered a whole sub-culture I was unaware of around this.

Jesus, I’m a dumbass. It’s right at the bottom of the screen when viewing the comments on a thread.

Side note: trying to delete a post from the profile screen crashes the app, so hey, I guess I was kind of helpful?

Right, guys? Right…??

My question is how can we go about making the transition easy and worthwhile for big communities?

I’m talking a guide that makes it super simple for users to switch. Then convince mods of communities with strong engagement to move over.

Heyo, don’t skip on crocheting. I got into it for a bit and really enjoyed it. Only got distracted by other hobbies.

My god did I love that game. I wish I could play it again with new eyes.

Has anyone played the 2nd one, was it any good?

I really enjoy it on the deck. The settings might be lower, but I don’t notice. I’d recommend.

Something about the Deck just makes working through these action-adventure type games so much more enjoyable.
