Another reddit refugee here and this is my first ever comment on Lemmy.ml (or any of the Lemmy instances, for that matter). Welcome!

Typing this from mlem and the experience is incredible and very Apollo-like. And this is a pre-release version -- great work by the dev.

Inb4 reddit karma farms pop-up all over the third world promising unlimited upvotes.

I use Windows 10 LTSC (the Enterprise edition with long-term updates and way less bloat) for this very reason. It's the most tolerable version of Windows for me and I'm not planning to make the switch to Windows 11 anytime soon.

Which Invidio.us instance would you recommend? I'm looking for one that's the most stable and relatively fast compared to other instances. Also, I believe it's also geography dependent because instances don't have CDNs?

Watch me reply to a random comment.

Beat me to it. Came here to say exactly this.

Pirated version of Windows 10 LTSC (v2021) because FUCK Microsoft.

Your impression isn't super far off from the reality of the state of railways in India, but the central (federal) government there has been making substantial investments into the train systems. It's just that this particular region has long been known for being marginalized and neglected when it comes to infrastructure development and funding in general.

Yes. I updated my uBlock Origin and it seems to skip through YouTube video ads for now. But I'm sure YouTube's team is hard at work trying to overcome the new workaround. This is essentially going to be a tech arms race, lol.

I almost always prefer clean installation when possible, while making sure to backup important content from highly accessed folders like Desktop, Downloads and Documents (on Windows), for example.

Just a random user browsing new, found your post. I moved over to Lemmy because the reddit CEO is a greedy pigboi.

I've never been associated with the Mormon church but I have friends who've left the cult and are far better of because of it. Thanks for creating the community here on Lemmy.

I opened Lemmy after like a year and this post made me smile. I don't see this as 'complaining' considering I just arrived from the cesspool that's reddit.

Yep, I could sense that. I couldn't log into Lemmy on Mlem because of the hug of death lol.

I agree. Lemmy is super wholesome right now and it looks like most of the folks who've migrated over aren't the toxic types... at least not yet.

Any ideas about when this app will be available for the general public on the Apple App Store? I'm hoping to be among the first to download it once it becomes available on the app store like other regular apps :)

I agree. This feels like the beginning of something beautiful and I'm guessing we're still in the honeymoon phase.

But yeah, better to be here than on the corporatized hell hole that reddit has become.
