If we don't defederate from the outset I'm just gonna join another instance that did. I didn't sign up for Lemmy because I wanted fucking twitter.

I joined this morning to get a little ahead of the curve.

There zero reason this place couldn't replace Reddit entirely if people just give it a chance.

I really hope people don't just drop it once the blackouts end.

Gee, I feel so slammed right now, you don't even know.

I'm a newbie from Reddit too, but your understanding matches mine.

I'm patiently waiting for someone (anyone) I know to decide to throw out an old laptop.

Gonna bite their hand off for it, install Linux and proceed to fuck around and find out.

Yeah, I'm extremely skeptical of anyone who now voluntarily steps up to be a mod on Reddit in the wake of everything that's happened.

You should be wary of people who want power that badly.

You just know it's going to be riddled with micro-transactions, log-in bonuses, a couple of premium currencies, timed exclusives etc etc etc...

I can't say I'm gonna post anything, but I'm enjoying content. You guys are doing good work 👌

I think mlem is the only IOS option at the moment, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm on Android, so I'm using Jerboa, and it's solid enough so far. Still has hiccups, but it's coping for the most part.

I feel like each time a sub goes private there should be a custom final message or something. Like a last post saying "Goodnight and good luck" 😅

What's everyone's preference at the moment?

I've been using Jerboa since I migrated and it's been great.

Installed Liftoff today, but it seems less polished at the moment, though admittedly I've not yet had a chance to dive into the features properly.

Haven't yet touched thunder.

Their gross treatment of mods and developers.

I used to mostly lurk, occasionally comment and infrequently post, but I understand and appreciate the work mods and developers do.

Reddit is just another big company that's trying to get rich off free labour with no regard for the people it hurts along the way. Fuck em.

Black Bishop (very bottom right corner) takes White Bishop?

I imagine it's actually quite harmful.

People should be encouraged took seek advice and help if they suspect they have any kind of mental disability. It's stigmatized as it is, to the point that many people actively shy away from acknowledging their condition, or, get concerned that they're just overreacting, don't really have the condition, and are instead some kind of faker/imposter, doing harm by putting demand on a care system that they feel other people are more deserving of, and generalising a serious condition.

If people suspect they need help, they should be encouraged to seek it. It's not a contest and they shouldn't feel ashamed.

Alonso and Yuki.

Alonso for the fun-factor, Yuki for the potential.

I bought a gorgeous set of black metal dice with gold numbers, with a mindflayer theme.

Can't read them for shit when actually playing.

I then proceed to buy a big bag of about 8 individual, basic sets with nice big numbers. They usually end up getting shared out to the group each session now 😅

Nothing Phone 1.

For a mid-range phone, it's fantastic. Really would recommend it.

Yup. The opportunities to enter the service are there.

It's retention that's dismal. They learn the skills then take them elsewhere.

And I honestly don't blame them one bit. It's very, very taxing and important work that isn't recompensed properly.

I'm on a complete blackout for this game, and have been since the reveal trailer.

Can't wait!

Then you try and push it the rest of the way through with your finger and slice your whole fucking hand open, immediately realising what a stupid decision that was 😅
