Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge?
Yeah, I miss r/Psoriasis, because I have auto-immune, and I miss r/AskDentist and r/AskMechanic and all the learning based subs basically.

The cycle of the day...
I doctored my bookmarks to exclude Reddit. On my phone I replaced it was Jerboa, which I was very impressed with as an alpha app. It's already better than Reddit's official app. I'm very guilty of doing the same like you. Launch up reddit then correct myself. I'm comitted to the move away.

The death of Reddit will be a slow bleeding process. Expect waves. Not floods.

Could a child learn everything just from watching Hollywood movies and TV shows?
A child won't learn anything from the vast majority of Hollywood films. It's storytelling not in the educational sense, but the entertainment sense.

Yes I'm aware of the history. The only way to kill cancer is excise it. Lemmy realistically can't take a full migration from Reddit but that needs to change. I too am super grateful. Part of me wonders if this platform could end the same way but given it's decentralised nature, I highly doubt it. Reddit was open source once. I really want this to succeed. Seize the means of communication.

YSK that “neoliberal” refers to a discrete set of economic policies including deregulation, privatization, and so-called “free trade” implemented by both center-right and center-left parties

What you said makes zero sense. Neoliberalism is distinctly NOT a left wing ideology. To even try and associate them makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about.

The money is coming from the community, which is why progress is slow. People don't have much money. It doesn't mean we should sell the soul of the project for a quick buck. Rome wasn't built in a day.

The privacy movement can't sell out to private entities or all bets are off again, I think no advertisements is wholly nessasary. I think taking out Reddit is much more achievable than many people think. Yes it will take some money and resources.

Is Lemmy dying?
No, Lemmy is not dying. Why do people have to be so hyperbolic all the time.

My Dad has worked in Sport as a Sound Engineer for 40 years and he tells me on the regular that competitive Sport is a cult that enshrines capitalism because there must always be winners and losers.

A sincere thank-you to Steve Huffman. I'd have never found Lemmy without you.
I'm absolutely there with you my friend. This place has a far higher potential than Reddit ever had by virtue of it's open source code and decentralised nature. You, I and others here, are riding the waves of history.

Will Lemmy posts be searchable on Google?
I would argue that eventually, yes, one will be able to google search Lemmy just like Reddit.

PSA: There is a tool called Shreddit which you can use to delete all your content from Reddit. I have shredded 1000 posts as part of migrating to Lemmy and you should too.

My man, that's exactly why you should do it. To inflict as much pain as possible on Reddit, especially if it disrupts them and others from problem solving. I too have used Reddit a great deal to solve issues. I recognise what you're saying, but somethings gotta give my friend. Reddit is a evil coporation that's feeding it's users to the wolves. Completely sabotaging their website and transfering here is in my opinion, the way forward. It's 10 steps backwards, in orders to make 100 steps forward.
