I won't link it because it's a reddit link. But there's damning footage of large pixel circles of white or random colors spreading at the same instant, in a way that wouldn't be possible by regular users. And these pixels don't have an attached username, it's like the canvas has been totally reset. Bots would show a new username.

r/RedditAlternatives doesn't like a Reddit Alternative

I see this a lot and I really don't understand it. Here I am on lemmy.world, replying to you on sh.itjust.works, on a post from lemmy.ml. Clearly neither of us are browsing just our local instance, and indeed I imagine most people are not. So what does it matter what instance anyone is on, beyond instance-specific defederations?

There's no coming back from that

Yeah man. People love to bash Elon and rightfully so. I live in Southern California, I drive a Tesla and a lot of my friends do also. I used to travel a lot for work, and would regularly rent nice cars for weeks on end. My Tesla is the car I've enjoyed most ever, and it's not really even close.

Yeah it has problems. But what car doesn't? Nothing is perfect. But for me, the features that Teslas have check all the boxes in a really novel and enjoyable way.

I was in like 3rd grade, the word was passed on to us in real time but I didn't really understand what had happened until later.

Also this is a clever way to get a feel for the distribution of ages of Lemmy users... I like it.

Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?

Unless they arbitrarily defederate. Which you wouldn't be aware of unless you're following specific communities, which you may or may not be able to follow without making separate accounts.

And like, I understand the intention. The fediverse is a good idea. But let's not pretend it's "easy". Average users are subject to the whims of admins as much or more than on Reddit, because here, admins can effectively hide /r/piracy, and you'll never have known it even existed. Understanding the mechanics that allow that process is more complicated than learning reddit. I'm not prepared to say it's worse, but it's different.
