It's not just corporate reddit though. Consider the time and effort invested in these communities. Obviously I left because I don't want to support reddit (and because their non 3rd party interface is almost unusable), but there are mods of small communities that have put thousands of hours into building up these subs.
Ask Historians is a perfect example of a sub that gets punished by modified comments (and they have been highly supportive of protests). They are so heavily moderated that every comment is 100% on topic and each comment lost makes the hard work they put in less worthwhile. Now each person has a right to delete their own content, but it sucks to write a 3 page essay response with citations only to have the context be removed to spite reddit. The mods and contributors of the subs are suffering too, and at a time when maintaining the community is much harder.

Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?
Is missing an active NBA community, which is/was at least half of my reddit traffic along with several other subs I frequented, so I that regard it's a let down.
The interface is already better on jerboa than anything reddit ever made, and I haven't had a ton of issues, just missing the communities.

I watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) and I wanted to recommend it
That's encouraging, I love tabletop rpgs (like D&D), and have spent countless hours playing them, but I'm always scared of their movies because they have been historically awful. Maybe I'll give this one a shot.

I've actually started using Firefox more because Chrome has been causing me problems. Recently downloading more than 3 files from Google takeout at a time broke Chrome. With Firefox I hit 20 simultaneous files with no slowdown. Chrome actually hung until my downloads finished. Made it impossible to work at all while I downloads files. Same issue in incognito. Firefox was great.
I recently built a PC and included 32GB of RAM specifically so I can have a hundred tabs open without any lag, never had a issue with Firefox.

100% I will only be using instances that don't federate with corporations.

Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
Reply in thread
This is the key. Different products are intuitive for different people. Some people prefer less customizability with less barrier to entry. I recommend Apple products for a lot of users even though I strongly prefer Android/Linux/Widows. I also strongly prefer the Mac trackpad and gesture support. I use a Mac laptop for anything not work related because I hate the way trackpads work on Windows (even using the superior Mac trackpad).
All that said, if someone else prefers iOS, or Windows trackpads (or even likes those awful little buttons on Lenovos), then they should use them! Use what works for you!

Reddit Admins hand /r/SnackExchange over to a moderator with no experience. Other subreddit moderators fight in comments.

As Reddit protests turn to porn-bombing, advertisers face increasing brand safety concerns

If you don't at least have reliable NSFW flags then many parents (and more importantly schools) won't let their kids watch, which is a large part of ad revenue.

Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?

I need more Veridian Dynamics.
Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso's wife and having her say "Ted" was one of the most jarring experiences I've had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.

There is nothing really close. Better off Ted is an obvious if distant number 2 for me.

The simultaneous nuance and beauty of the art coupled with inability to get hands right. It's both humorous and chilling.

3d6 on Lemmy!
I appreciate all the time and effort you have put in to this community. Subscribed in both. I don't see any reason not to keep the reddit rules in place.

I agree completely, Reddit screwed up. Huffman is a petty tool and he's running a lot of great communities.
My point is that it does hurt people who aren't Reddit/Huffman. Mods and community members who have created and curated tons of content. It's hundreds of hours of work to migrate that info, and not everyone will come with you if you do.
It was an easy choice for me because I'm not invested, but for those that have more at stake, moving platforms is a much bigger sacrifice.
The people who stayed aren't necessarily wrong or bad, they could have good reasons and harder choices than shine of us here who lose very little, or maybe even some who lose a lot.

AIs coding/scripting is incredible, but that's likely just because there is so much shared scripting available to munch on. AI is just faster at doing the Google search I do to steal someone else's work.

Can confirm, my son opted for an iPhone that was 5 years old rather than a new Android because he was getting left out of group chats on Android.
Part of it is a status thing, part is the green bubbles mean you can't use WiFi.
