I really hope that Lemmy will never have it. Karma destroyed Reddit.

sigh, it's hopeless, it will not happen. Reddit is now looking to fill a "Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Ads Targeting" position (https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/5009252). Which means that it wants people to use its app so that it's machine learning algorithm can target ads to users and make money for its future investors.

We're talking about a capitalist platform. Reddit's whole purpose right now is to go public (IPO). Lemmy/Kbin are the only free platforms.

Things are getting worse. Some subreddits like /r/breastfeeding, which were private from the start, are now being forced by Reddit to make their subreddits public. It's completely stupid. r/breastfeeding NEEDS to stay private to keep creeps and weirdos away.

Exactly, instances are like countries. Alliances (federations) will be formed. It will be an organic process. Instances that promote Nazi content will form alliances with each other, and our instance Lemmy.world will form an alliance that has the same values of respect.

Worse. Paradoxically, it encourages piracy.

Haha, good! U/Spez needs to understand that Reddit is nothing without the support of the community. 3rd parties have created the tools moderators need, and moderators do the work for free.

I hope John Oliver will expose this absurd situation that Reddit has put itself in.

In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn't have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.

Thank you for this. The recent performance downgrade made the app a little unusable on my iPhone 8 Plus. I would like to return to the app as none that I tried are as good as Memmy.

On the contrary, I think it's a good protest. It shows that for a subreddit to thrive, the support of the moderators is key. They need to have the right tools for the job and be supported by Reddit. Otherwise the content will be shitty and not worth it for the shareholders.

Lemmy/Kbin are the way. Freedom vs a capitalist platform that wants to satisfy its shareholders.

What you're mentioning is key. Lemmy is exploding right now. Imagine when all third-party apps cease working... It's gonna be crazy.

Why do we have to go to the extreme. The scandanavian countries are socialist/capitalist countries and they have one of the best living conditions.

I remember Reddit in its early days (it was founded in 2005). The conversations were intelligent and I participated in a lot of them. When they introduced karma, I noticed that people were using it as a badge of honor. People started posting shitty one-liners to get upvotes, but those posts had no meaning.

So I started posting less and less. Lemmy/Kbin reminds me of the early days of Reddit, and I hope it stays that way.

As somehow who lost a close one to cancer, quit now and not later. The more you wait, the greater the chances you'll get cancer. Don't wait and regret it.

Yup. Exciting times. It reminds me of Reddit in its early days. Growing pains happen to every new platform.

Woohoo! I hope a lot of FOSS project have their own Lemmy/Kbin instance. Reddit, a capitalist platform, is no place for them.

Unfortunately, the majority will not care. Reddit's app ranks first in iOS' app store after Twitter. This is what Reddit wants, people to stop using third-party apps so that they can easily target ads to users.

Bon courage mon ami with the upgrade. You guys rock.

Unfortunately, Discord can't be replaced right now. All my gaming friends are using it and I don't see any FOSS software that can replace it right now.

Firstly, it’s a bit suspicious that your name is only a few minutes old. Secondly, I hope you live in a society that understands innocent before proven guilty, because all you’re doing is insinuating to damage someone’s reputation.

You haven’t proven anything, that last name coincidence is nothing. These are different last names. You’re damaging an individual’s reputation without any substantial evidence.
