Wait you can even view reddit on a 3rd party app at all? Which app playoffs the $10m to still work with reddit?

Someone explained it a little better in another post. It will not erase my content. So if I'm logged in under my lemm.ee account but post on a lemmy.world instance. If for some reason lemm.ee got defederized, my post or comments would still be there at lemmy.world I would just not be able to use my lemm.ee account going forward.

It seems like this is the way to go like OP says

You are spot on and it's infuriating in the opposite direction. I sub to a small local city sub reddit and people will post the same question every day instead of just doing a quick search to find that their same question has been asked 20 times this month.

For a while, I was still using reddit to go to those small niche subs, but now they are garbage too

Well said. Not to mention the article title calls out Proton but it's basically all the noteworthy e2ee email products. Very click baity

The comments have gotten just as bad too. Trolls and Bots everywhere. No moderation. Also, the voting system works well when it's mostly sane and intelligent people there. Now the dumbest comments get upvoted super high and any long critical, intelligent responses get downvoted to oblivion.

Co-ops

I'm just waiting a month or so and seeing how much I can sell my account for to a Russian bot

It's very hard to do. I can only go into what helped with me but I schedule it in. Everything else in my life is basically scheduled so you have to make the time. Meditation

I meditate 30 minutes every other day. It's helped significantly. Think of it like a gym schedule and hold yourself to it. Obviously there is never enough time in the day to do everything you want but this thing is one of the most important at this point.

I was liking Lemmy until now. Now I love it

I love this one. I'm usually excited for others too. I haven't taken a travel vacation in close to a decade so I love to live vicariously through others travels. Tell me everything of what you are going to do and what you are going to see. I want to hear all of it.

He's getting attention just so we see how much worse we could get than Biden. The worst thing the democratic party wants is a progressive that will take away from their financial interests. RFK is simply getting attention so we don't give a good politician attention.

I would use a spray lubricant with silicone in it. A Teflon one will work too but Teflon is horrible for the environment so I avoid them. Something like this

Or you could use a gun oil and squirter a couple drops on it.

My first guess is a smoker who didn't want to go outside.

So much this! Plus being able to discuss a free agent pickup or trade. I need that back.

The other communities i miss were my local state and city.

I have a 10 year old account. I saw that some people were trying to sell their accounts on ebay but it doesn't look like too many people are buying right now.

Purgatory

That's my biggest worry right now. With the how increase of people coming over from reddit, there is bound to be turmoil and fragmentation. I just want to know what to do that is best for getting stability going forward

I'm hoping someone can help me out with the federation side of all this.

I created an account in lemmy.world, it was getting bogged down by all the new traffic. I then created an account here (lemm.ee). I am currently using the app liftoff to do all this. I am logged into both accounts (same username). How is this comment saved?

If for instance, lemm.ee were to shutdown would everything posted here disappear? Or because I am logged into the lemmy.world instance would it still be there? I'm just trying to embrace the new world and do things properly from the beginning to try and reduce fragmentation.

I think you have a misconception of what is like here in America. Everything else is not fine here. You aren't realizing the huge lack of safety nets and the inability to get basic funding for anyone that has no money.

That 100k loan has interest. You don't get that 200k job right out of college. You only get that if you are extremely talented, lucky, or know rich people. The vast majority of programmers here make much less and when you take out health insurance are making about the same as what you make in Europe.

Meanwhile, you have to find a way to buy a car here because you will literally die here with out one. You find a way to buy a junker for 5k (that's what they go for here). Your car breaks down after a month on the job. You just missed a day at work that they fired you for it. Now you have to find whatever job you can quick because you all have to pay that school loan, rent, food, and car repair bill. The sheer amount of financial parasites here is staggering. You end up taking a job totally unrelated to programming because the application process takes so long here and you need money in the meantime. Now you are stuck working 50 hours a week at a pointless job using any spare free time sending out applications for another job where you are just one incident away from being broke and homeless again.
