It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instance
I mean pretty much every website is US focused unless stated otherwise.

Question: People who still frequent Reddit, has it gone back to business as usual or are the protests still having effect?
What infuriates me are subs that act like nothing is happening. I can understand not wanting to get involved with drama but actively supporting the devs by pretending everything is fine is vile to me.

Is it okay to leave blankets on a basement floor if it's right next to your bed?
Are you shackled there or do you just like dark and humid places?

How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?
I just want to share my sympathies on how hard it must be when she goes and listens to those assholes on YouTube and believes them but won't accept her family's help telling her what bullshit all that is.
I hope you get her out of that zone op.

Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?
youtube feed is a toddler you're trying to tame. even the slightest misdirection will end you up with infinite crochet videos for 2 weeks because you watched a video about the last crochet artists in cambodia

YSK: Pixelfed replaced Instagram for me, the same way Lemmy replaced reddit.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing that happened with reddit can happen with instagram/snapchat/Twitter simply because their users don't give a fuck. The familiarity and existence of large content creators on those platforms create a much greater reluctance for their users to make the switch. Better alternatives for all have existed for years and yet no change took place because quality or ideology just wasn't the reason people preferred those apps. It was what it is and even for me, similar to many people, making the swith just isn't sensible as it wouldn't mean shit without convincing 300+ people im connected to to make the switch with me and then again, they don't care.

My point rests with your last sentence. I don't care about funny vids or weird facts, what made reddit precious was the interaction within communities and "being part of it" rather than just a visitor. That for me makes this situation life or death for reddit and from what I've seen, the "core" and most invested folk who made reddit what it is think so too. Without these, reddit is just another website with pictures and text.
The inaction of some communities not so deep into the internet lore is absolutely fine however bigger subs or corrupt mods yielding to the bullying from admins/supporting them will result in dissolving of these communities and this is why I absolutely think that anyone and everyone should take some action whether it be migrating to lemmy like us or any other solution they see fit whether it be a discord server or an independent forum.
It is unavoidable that there will be losses but a fresh start is the best we have and to maintain what was created over years with blood sweat and tears, reddit is no longer a viable option. It seems a spring cleaning was in order anyhow...

1% rule: 1% of users actively create new content, while the other 99% only lurk.
Not yet and as the early adopters we should contribute as much as we can while at the same time being careful not to post low quality or repetitive things.
The platform will naturally mature if it is fit to do so.

Every brand has different levels of paranoia when it comes to sensors but personally I'd rather it be too jumpy than lazy. Personally though, I haven't had any issues.
