The last few releases of Jerboa have been atrocious. It's currently crashing when backing out of activities, voting, or commenting. I tried Thunder but the UI is extremely confusing for me.
You're right about advertising, but they also are a legal target. Any platform that has sex related content on it will eventually feel pressure from their country's government. It just takes one incident and
I reckon platforms see them as a burden due to the volume of regulation that they inevitably become saddled with, or face penalties. Hence why tumblr rolled the dice on removing it all, Reddit is restricting ease of access, and Pornhub purged most of its content.
I'm interested to see how the Fediverse will handle it when it eventually comes this way.
It's been a huge pain because no single platform can't be a drop in replacement for Reddit.
Great fight. Credit to Cejudo, Chito isn't an easy fight.
FF VIII was a great story but the very exploitable leveling system kinda makes it kinda boring to play sometimes, Triple triad makes up for it, though!
Twitter and Reddit have really thrown the idea that the "elite" are somehow smarter or more competent into disrepute. They are literally just ideologues.
That's a feature I didn't know about. Will definitely keep an eye on that
I'm not sure it was, unless you actively sought it out.
Lots of communities were nice and pleasant, with little to no animosity. The politics subs invite debate and discussion, so naturally argumentative people gravitate there. But most of Reddit was fun
Online discussions can be toxic anywhere. You don't have to take part in a community and don't have to be dragged into dramw. There's always somewhere more welcoming.
This place is becoming an echo chamber.
I don't doubt that there are bots in the comments on Reddit (as if that can even be disputed) but pretending like nobody could possibly just not be interested in moving to lemmy is wrong. There's lots of teething troubles here still which need to be resolved before most people will consider it. Whinging about astroturfing comment sections isn't gonna make dankmemes or pcmasterrace come to lemmy.
Actually it's not as easy as yout make it sound.
If you Google "Lemmy" you get images of the guy from motorhead. I've even done site searches with specific instances and a lot don't show up at all. Beehaw, sh.it, and kbin.social were very difficult to find with Google.
Most still on Reddit probably just want normality to resume. The average redditor who didn't immediately jump ship already used the app and hasn't got a clue what all the noise is about. Its us old school Redditors who cared and we're all over here or lemmy or discord.
This is getting stopped. No way Almeida survives another round of that
Did Sabatini actually try to pick Almeida up like a baby?
Imagine coming to on a stool being hugged by the guy you were just KO'd by lmao
I use Bitwarden for both passwords and TOTP. So much easier than messing around with multiple apps.
The same individuals who benefit from Reddit as a training ground for AI also have a stake in Reddit. They are transferring money from one pocket to another.
You should just make new posts of unique content instead of ripping posts from Reddit. Recycled memes doesn't make a community - interaction does
What would this achieve? Mods who've spent years building their communities aren't going to hurt their reputation just so you can live out a fantasy of burning Reddit to the ground. We get it, it hurts to lose a community. But if you're done with Reddit, post content here that makes this place better. For now at least, Reddit and Kbin/Lemmy will exist together. There's not going to be a Diggesque switchover to this platform, there's too many people who just don't share our concerns, amongst other blockers. This is doubly so if the only unique content here is complaining about Reddit.
Basically, live and let live. Some people will find their way here in due time. Spez is doing a fine job of butchering Reddit himself. He doesn't need help.
One completely out of touch ideologue praising another isn't surprising but it is shocking how such incompetent people can land positions like this.
It's not too late for Reddit to claw some of it's reputation back, but this guy needs to step down for it to happen.
uBlock Origin runs in FF - works on FF for Android too.
