That's a different article. It doesn't cover Keep and Gboard.

we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way

1. In my experience, many of the people claiming to be experts on reddit are spreading misinformation. This goes for Twitter too, and probably most other large social media sites. People love to be seen as an authority on a topic.
2. Reddit is anything but organic, and is getting worse and worse in this regard.

They use reddit instead of lemmy or their own forum... bizarre.

I've also been pretty creeped out by how many pro-reddit people there are on lemmy. It's really weird.

What do you use instead?

So everyone's able to hold it in? Where do they fart?

I learned about this today from the self-host newsletter.

I don't think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.

Lemmy is only better because it's not centrally controlled.

I have never noticed any problem with lemmy.ml.

Block all the low-quality meme/image content if lemmy feels tiring. Stop consuming garbage.

Downvoted. Post a link to the article, not an image of the title.

I really wish mods would remove these garbage posts.

I did use the crosspost feature. Something's wrong with it?

This works quite well usually.

I definitely don't agree. I think this is very problematic. I rely on all to find new communities. I don't think one newcommunities sub is a valid replacement. It would suffer from the same issue -- people would have to spam their post to every single instances's newcommunities sub, which is ridiculous and not even viable.

Unfortunately, they shot themselves in the foot by responding the way they did. They basically did the job of anyone who wants them taken down and not trusted. It was probably the worst way they could have reacted. Such a tragedy to lose such a valuable website.

People should stop linking to reddit. Use an archived version. More websites linking to reddit is why they're at the top of search results. It's called "domain authority".

Your title is terrible. Use the article's title.

And now apparently removing all comments that mention Lemmy...

More and more instances are defederating with Lemmy.world recently

Links? I'd like to read about that.

There are voices, and actions that reddit has silenced that should be given back a voice again. Reddit has been doing very bad things and sweeping them under the rug. This will give people a chance to find out about what reddit is trying to hide from the public.

/r/watchredditdie for example, was a big sub that reddit basically shut down. I'm hoping to draw some of those people to lemmy as their new home. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179
