I know :-(. Let the enshittification proceed.

I’d much rather have upgradeable RAM and SSD thanks.

The Great App Genocide of 2023.

Hmm, would Musk lie about this like everything else? Unthinkable!

That toaster gives me the vibes of my '80s Apple //c

It is possible to turn this off. I did.

I predict big things for this sport.

You always have the option of a VPN. That and private mode is probably a good best practice for a site like this anyway.

Seems necessary on this platform due to all the duplicate communities. Crossposting removes the dupes on the frontend though, no?

I think there is a script out there that replaces all your comments with random gibberish sentences. Just cron it to run every week until all the rollbacks are gone.

Yeah we need something like multireddits which have collections of communities across instances that can be subscribed to instead of the individual communities themselves. So your worldnews could be a single subscription of all the worldnews communities across lemmy.world, beehaw, etc. De-duping for extra credit!

Better yet, it should semi-force you to post as a crosspost which would remove the duplicate from end user feeds. Especially if there’s already a post on another community with a matching content link.

Make sure and get the always nitter plugin so you never have to see elon’s abomination again.

I’ve never heard anyone label someone else devil’s advocate so I wonder if this may just be a non English speaker not understanding the colloquialism.

I’m actually very much in favor of playing devil’s advocate and do it quite often. But I also feel like an asshole doing it quite often.

I think he’s trying to break his tires’ grip so that he can go sideways in the turns afterwards. But it is a little weird. Seems too deliberate to be just corrections.

Activity by itself does not make a good community. Reddit has thousands of times more activity than it really needs. You don’t need a comment thread with 100,000+ comments in it. A few good users will trump millions of users any day. While I’m not suggesting that Lemmy has quite enough users yet, my fondest memories of Reddit were right at the beginning 16 years ago. I think the golden number of users is not far off for us… A few more and some bug fixes and I think we will be seeing the golden years here. At the rate we are going, that might only be a few weeks or months away.

Don’t look at Reddit traffic. Look at the 600% increase in Lemmy traffic which isn’t slowing down even a little. Lemmy is quickly building up enough steam to replace Reddit, and then it’s simply a matter of time. Lemmy will keep getting better and Reddit will keep getting worse. People will figure it out. As someone who watched the fall of Digg firsthand and in real-time, I can assure you, these things can very much surprise you. They haven’t even closed down third party apps yet.

I closed down my subs and moved here and started new ones. I’m not looking back. My subs were only moderated by me, so they can hire someone if they want to open them up again.

Yes. 16 year Reddit user here. The last pieces of the puzzle with themes and moving to lemm.ee are falling into place for me. Lemmy’s front page is now more interesting than Reddit. Very much reminds me of the Reddit I joined. Way more intelligent and topical.
