So the only real way to fight the Reddit admins is to leave the site... Too bad the apathetic make up the vast majority of users, so there won't be a mass exodus like Digg.

Reddit was dead to me the second RiF announced they'd be shutting down. The RiF app IS reddit to me. I don't go to it on desktop.

Reddit is not so fun anymore, RIP RIF
You were the first app that I ever paid money for. And you remain the only way I will look at reddit on my mobile device. Rest In Spaghetti, Never Forgetti

Lemmy's total users exceeds 740k today, up from 540k yesterday

The best way to solve that is post some links and get the ball rolling. Can't get engagement without something to engage with. (I am guilty of not posting links myself lol)

EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!
This is awesome! I hope the EU Compliant phones come overseas too!

I made the mistake of checking Reddit (using my last few days of Apollo) and came across a complaint about Lemmy that flabbergasted me

Agreed! I was thinking initially that an app would be nice since most websites kind of suck, but this looked great on mobile and I doubt an app is necessary if the clean trend continues.

"So the billionaires’ families are gonna get billed for all of this like the time my family got billed for my ambulance ride, right? Right?"
Where I live, in Canada, if you aren't insured a plane trip to a hospital will cost you upwards of $30k

Sunken boat killing hundreds overshadowed by Titan submersible coverage
I hate to say it, but a boat-load of illegal migrants capsizing is... normal. It happens so often it's not unusual. And you can't solve it. The crappy situation that forced these migrants to leave on a super sketchy overloaded boat is much harder to solve than, say, banning tourist dives at the Titanic wreck.

I already deleted my 3P app and was looking for an alternative. I wanted to be the one that ripped that band-aid off so it could scab up early. So far I'm liking these Lemmy servers. They are my polysporin :p

Interesting idea. Hopefully the people that use those apps will enjoy the new way they're forced to show content. I think I'll just go other places nowadays tho (until I need to google some niche, specific question of course lol)

Mid-Year Deals promotion comes to PlayStation Store
And if you haven't checked yet, the PS+ Catalogue got updated with several new games including Far Cry 6! I was just doing a replay of Far Cry 5, so that's a nice treat for me!

Canada Passes Law Forcing Facebook, Google to Pay Media for Links
There's a small news site that is near me and they get a lot of their engagement through click-through on social media sites. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens to these smaller news sites.

I never did think of that angle, you are probably correct.

The root cause of migrants fleeing their countries by any means necessary, like overloading a boat, which happens far too frequently, is not easily solved. You could easily argue that billions are spent on attempting to mitigate migrant issues on a yearly basis too, yet overloaded boats still keep killing dozens of people every year.

Oh, good times. Too bad this happens after Smash is done releasing DLC characters. Ahh well, hope for the next one! #PutGenoInSmash
