I don't disagree with the idea, but your terminology needs a bit of tweaking lol.

For sure, but what makes Reddit special are the users, the content, and the discussions. The admins add no value.

We can recreate the communities in a distributed and federated way so that we never find ourselves in the same situation again.

Hopefully... there's another post on /c/lemmyworld stating that /r/adviceanimals forcibly removed the top moderator.

I'm guessing that they will replace all of the mod teams and forcibly re-open the subreddits.

Yeah, there's no way they aren't seeing an impact of our actions between people canceling Premium and reduced ad impressions because of the private subs.

He's projecting confidence because he wants us to think we're not having any effect on them and come back.

Thanks for all the work that you’re doing!

Yes! Let's make this place feel like home 🙂

Hey! Yes, as part of disconnecting from Reddit a month or so ago, I noticed there weren't any A2 communities on Lemmy yet.

So I started my little community and have been working on breathing life into it ever since. I figure that good, vibrant communities with consistent activity will be very important to people looking for alternatives to Reddit in the future. I'm focused on being the change I want to see in the world 🙂

I'll keep putting in the work over there -- it's good to be decentralized in case one of our instances goes offline. These are still early days for Lemmy, so I expect a little instability in the coming months.

You guys are doing great over here! Keep it up.

Does it really need to entirely replace Reddit? I'm happy as long as we can form vibrant communities and keep the conversations going.

I agree it's rough around the edges. It would be nice if, in addition to federated servers, there were also federated communities. That way if I post something to /c/homeassistant here, it auto-propagates to /c/homeassistant communities on other servers.

Agreed... I wish I knew Rust!

There’s currently no way to do this, but it is a common suggestion and multiple groups of people are working out potential ways to make it happen.

Man, 35 is too young to go! My thoughts go out to his family.

Absolutely! Ann Arbor has been getting a nice bit of rain this afternoon. It's a nice change of pace.

Fuck Nestle!

Lots of cool stuff in this release. I could see some very cool automations being built using the new service responses.

Please no. I'd rather contribute actual dollars (and I do!) to ensure the success of my preferred instances.

I like to shop at https://cloudfree.shop/ when I can. Their pre-flashed Tasmota smart plugs are nice and support MQTT/fully local integrations.

Glad to see /r/michigan participating in the blackout. Hopefully they stay private indefinitely or at least until Reddit reverses their terrible policies.

Those are moderators, not admins. The moderators add a ton of value, both on Reddit and here.

The admins (Reddit corporate employees) do not add value.

Unbelievable. Hopefully this drives more users to the fediverse.

I found the same if I try to log in too often. I found that it doesn't hit me with a captcha when I set the cadence to hourly.
