So is everyone actually staying here? I hope so. I am. I don’t really miss Reddit at all and I’m incredibly impressed how fast the community here is growing. I hope we can keep it going and let Reddit burn to the ground.

My only complaint is not enough people commenting on / interacting with posts. I’m guilty of it myself (I was also mostly a lurker on Reddit) so I’m not trying to blame anyone but Lemmy often feels like a ghost town.

At this point, even if they were to reverse all the decisions they’ve made, I have no intention or desire to go back to Reddit. Lemmy has been a great replacement and I’m hoping it’ll only improve over time.

All of them?

The fact that it was for only 2 days to begin with is a joke. That’s now how a strike works.

I respect her speaking up for herself, but once a company has decided to let you go there is no amount of talking you can do to convince them to change their mind.

If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.

Don’t worry, I did.

Can someone explain to me how Bluesky is different than Mastodon and if it’s not different why they bothered creating it when Mastodon exists? I truly don’t get it.

The irony of this post is the fact that Reddit’s new API policy will literally make such an extension pointless starting in July. People should just….not post on Reddit…

I’ll bet my life savings it isn’t a choice for most….its a necessity these days.

Google’s search results have definitely declined in recent years. It’s why I’ve mostly been using Perplexity for searching now.

AKA, Warner Bros. wants to milk their customers for as much money as they can with as little effort as possible.

It’s ok. Navigating takes some getting used to and the lower content and engagement so far is a bummer. Hopefully it will take off though. A mobile app at some point would be nice.

Do we really think there’s going to be that many more users joining once the API policy goes into effect? I feel like most people who were going to leave Reddit have already left. Idk, I could be wrong. But why would people be back there if they’re just going to leave in July?

I think it is now because Lemmy.world seems to be more stable than Lemmy.ml

Kobo is the only other manufacturer I know of that gets fairly good reviews. Do Boox devices really fail that much? I haven’t heard that.

Even more reason the blackout needs to last more than 48 hrs.

I doubt anyone would care if you did that, but it does sound like you’d get more use out of joining https://kbin.social/. They are part of the federated universe and have a dedicated microblog section.

I was worried for a second until I read the article. $1 more/ is not a huge price increase and I’m ok with it considering they haven’t increased the price as long as I’ve been subscribed and I’ve been subscribed for at least a decade. Also, I use Spotify daily…for hours at a time.

Same here. I refuse to be member of a community where its corporate side is completely anti-community…to put it nicely.
