How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?

I mean I don't mind the current state of Lemmy right now, in fact I'm actually quite liking how it is right now. It'll probably take a lot of time to even get on the same level as Reddit if it ever does, however I'm seeing so much users, moderators, and devs who are committed to making this platform work and that in and of itself is amazing to see. Things like this actually show there is a human side to technology and that we can make it work. Anyways that's my food for thought.

Reddit officials forces moderators to reopen subreddits or get overthrown

Reply in thread

This is what I said to another person:

I’m assuming just current reddit admins are going to take over or getting some certain moderators from subreddits (that aren’t even of high ranking) to take over and remove the higher rankings from power, which then they will be the ones reopening the subreddits.

Now that I read it this sounds like a coup d’état

Ubisoft reportedly deleting customer accounts with purchased games if they have been inactive for too long

This is why I'm a big supporter of physical media if possible. Sure the actual game may not be on there or something because it's too big or whatnot, however with what the hell is going on with digital companies in the modern videogaming world, yeah no they simply just can not be trusted much with the amount of power they hold. This includes but not limited to: Ubisoft, Steam, EA, Epic Games, etc.

EDIT: Yeah GOG is fine apologies for that, however the well majority of games in the digital world are simply just licenses that these companies have control of.

Lemmy - Why did you leave Reddit?

I left Reddit after the hypocrisy coming from the leadership at Reddit and with their decisions. After the AMA from Spez, it was the final nail in the coffin for my decision to leave Reddit, instead of taking accountability and owning up to their mistakes, they had completely attempted to justify their actions and seeing the developers' work go down the drain was heartbreaking, and I stand in solidarity with them. Even though I might be some minor spec to the entirety of Reddit, I still feel it's important to stand up for the community, even if it doesn't matter to them.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?

I personally moved to Bitwarden from 1Password due to the cost, and I believe for an average user, Bitwarden is definitely the way to go as it is very value-friendly (at $10 USD/year), and it is open-sourced unlike many other proprietary password managers. 1Password may get more features, however it being $3.99 USD/month, many users don't need the extra security features and I strongly believe that common sense is the best security for any user.

What's your go-to "cosy" city?

Oh man, I usually start off "small" with unlimited money and make suburbs, gradually to high density. Then at some point I'll be like "oh man I should build a great big urban center!" and realize how performance-taxing it is!

Most of the time I just roam around in my city and watch cars move by.
