Aside from political views, another social network will not help anything and is only another useless app to install.

This is crazy. I want to see if it actually blocks you from reading tweets. The article didn’t say when this goes into effect though.

Mlem and Memmy are in the works for iOS as well and these apps seem promising. So much better than using Lemmy in a mobile browser.

DDG was also caught downranking search results or censoring them. Regardless of what is being censored I don't think it should be up to the company to decide for individuals. It should be the individual who does their own due diligence and decides for themselves what they want to believe.

Here is the article.

It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.

For those of you who don’t know there’s a community for betas.

What will be interesting to see is the number of users for reddit after June 30th. How many leave when 3PA shut down vs how many stayed and use the official app. I have pretty much left reddit as most of the subreddits I am subscribed to have gone dark indefinity and will leave for good come June 30th.

What Wander replied. Also you can subscribe to which community has the most subscribers/most active. Having a couple communities of the same topic can also mean the communities can be smaller than one huge community. A smaller community can have better discussions than one huge community.

Twitter has started paying Google.

Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.

The wsb army is mobilizing. That would be great to see.

Twitter isn’t dying. The users and content is still there. The people going to Mastodon are the niche group of techies. Mastodon isn’t for your casual or average twitter user.

I think news and ads ruined social media today. I do miss the days of MySpace and people used to log on , hangout and message each other. You used to to connect with your friends online. Today, social media isn’t really used like that anymore.

I haven't used Google in a while. I have been using Brave Search and it has been good. They don't rely on any of the big search engines anymore either. They have been building their own index. Right now they only rely on Google and Bing search for image search.

Hello. Welcome

They really did. I could have swore I saw r/blind officially migrate to Lemmy or Kbin a week or two weeks ago as well.

Facebook and Instagram have been doing this for years. It was only a matter of time before Twitter started it.

He could kill old reddit by next week. Not a matter of if but when. The beginning of this year he said there wouldn't be any changes to the API this year. Then a couple months later he changes it.

So far so good for me. When you use it more and explore it, you start to learn what is what. I do miss the community that had been built on reddit. But that what years in the making. It's good to have moved to another platform (given recent reddit events) and start to build a new community here.

Edit: The subs I am subscribed to on reddit that went dark indefinity have moved here. So I am subscribing to them here.

Facebook and Instagram already do this. It was only a matter of time for Twitter.

I wasn't sure if the writers strike was still happening. Earlier today I did search on YouTube for his segment on the reddit situation to see what he had to say.
