it's most dangerous to think you're immune. it's subtle enough to sway anyone in ways you don't realize.

Nope, I'm seeing discussions unrelated to Reddit every time I'm on here. And there's often more comments than I care to read! The main hurdle for me is the long load times and the inconsistency of the buttons.

But remember!

There's never going to be a perfect alternative. No Reddit alternative is going to function the same as a massive 18 year old site from Day 1. It takes some time, some stress tests, some development, and some dedication. Just remember the shit they pulled to bring us here.

Well of course a new site has some ramp up time compared to an 18 year old platform.

Yikes. Asking all visitors to enter ID? They just don't want anyone on those sites. You could just as well use a device-based age verification system and cut out a major point of access. Looking like Arkansas and Mississippi are following the South Korean model.

i cant remember the last time i saw anyone do ASL that wasnt in their 30s+ now

oh of course this one posted...

I'll have you know the unposted one was better. a real zinger

So let me get this straight. Spez makes Elon-inspired changes to Reddit. Spez fucks up his own platform, and then Elon sucks up what leftovers he can?

Octopus are so precious.

Yeah but that can be determined just by account age and number of posts, not by the public reception of those posts.

So the two solutions I'm seeing are either the Lemmy version of a "multireddit", or another bot that reposts things across instances lol

yeah the people running this show need to understand that normies dont care about server hosting. they just want a feed with cat pics

No some communities need a new login. lemmy NSFW has no content without it. th there's the issue of having a slow instance like world vs another instance

Yeah no fuck that I don't need some giant duck flappin in my face, give me the 1% horsepower army...

Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long

I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself

Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".

What?? This is the second time I'm seeing "wefwef" and I swore it was a typo the first time I saw it. Plz don't tell me that's the name of the biggest Lemmy app...

no :(

on that note i still need to figure out how to auto-forward my X emails to my Y email lol

This is what bugs me. When the personalities a sub is built around stays on Reddit despite supporting the protests. Like game subs - if the Devs are there, the players will post there. Supporting the protests in name, but not joining a community on the current best alternative....

Half? Yeah right! Even if they were half the nation - which they aren't - it's gonna be like 90% in some areas and 10% in others.
