The Day Will Come When The First Exodus Will Look Like Child's Play

The 2 specific communities I want to read without a mirroring one in the fediverse I still read through RSS.

Yead is better than using web or their app. And still get my fix.

I also use Boost as I was using that back on Reddit. Voyager is also an excellent Lemmy app too.

I use Boost for Lemmy (paid for, so no ads etc.). It's what I used for Reddit, so the transition was super easy, but there's lots of FOSS Lemmy clients on F-Droid that are good too.

Any good tips for Android apps?

Sync, I used it for reddit before they fucked the API. And now I use it for Lemmy. It's one of the smoothest apps I've ever used.

This is where they want you. Head down to the dock and he’ll show you to the Census Office.

Yeah, it kind of feels like we may only be a few days away from Rexxit 2.0 depending on spez's next move. Musk's comments have been short on this but given the fact spez is already a fanboy and, as Vice Dictator, Musk's merest utterances get taken very seriously in certain quarters, I could see the Xitter ban being overturned.

This struck made my Spidey-Senses tingle when I read it the other day:

Reddit drives significant traffic to X, particularly for discussions related to trending topics on the platform, so a ban on X links on Reddit could significantly impact Musk's company.

Now Musk has favoured ideology over profit but if he can get a bootlicker to improve his bottom line with minimal effort on his part, then he might get spez to harm his own site for Xitter's gain.

It may not happen, but as a Lemmy Instance Admin, it's something I'm keeping a weather eye on and making a few plans.

I'm amazed there were still moderators left that were willing to do protest actions after last time.

That'd be a crazy move. He must know there is an entire wave of new social media emerging thats just poised to punish such a stupid move.

Obligatory: fuck u/spez.

That is exactly what I expect to happen as well

Really? Where? Like, can you give a specific example?

I kind of always knew believing reddit was some kind of pure platform basically required being a stereotypical Californian but its declined so heavily in the last 10 years.

Its the number of clearly stupid replies you get now that really irritates me, from people who've very clearly not read or understood what you've said. It used to be a place where the average user seemed to be a PHD looking for cat pictures

I wrote that and now I'm imagining being required to take an exam to join a subreddit. Stupid idea but it would probably restore that sort of tone.

Maybe we need a euphemism... like... uhh.... "the shadow platform" or something? No wait... "the 'emmy"? "the lemony place"?
