Reddit already looks different for me

Most people will go back to reddit in two day. I just hope the whole ordeal seeds Lemmy with enough of a community to grow so one day, it will have feature parity with reddit and an actual community. This probably won't be a Digg like migration, but maybe it's the beginning of a myspace to Facebook like migration.

Digg seems like it went down overnight lol.

TRUMP UNDER ARREST

Biden returned the documents before they even know they were gone and he was the one who told them he had them. Trump refused to return the documents when they were requested back and he is caught on tape admitting to knowing he wasn't supposed to have them. Also he asked his lawyers to destroy evidence.

Huge difference between a crime with someone cooperating and someone who tries to destroy evidence. Also the content of trump's documents seem like they're higher level and more highly classified.

so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?

They're the safest. It has the highest cost to run of any other site pretty much. The amount of data uploaded is staggering.

They may deserve to be replaced, but a competitor has the highest hurdles to overcome. You pretty much need to be another tech giant or the public needs to have a new perspective on how to pay for content rather than ads.

This comment right here

All of these subs should have been linking to a comparable Lemmy community instead of just saying they were protesting. The simple fact of the matter is that the lemmyverse is not mature enough of a platform to actually be a reddit replacement. It needs to get a lot of the kinks worked out and it needs a much better onboarding. Hopefully it can take these new users and steadily grow and while they grow they can fix these issues.

Free speech as a guiding principle sounded so good when Reddit was created, and mostly it enabled neo-Nazis to recruit outside of Stormfront

americas reasoning for allowing for all forms of free-speech isn’t because we think all sorts of free-speech are worthy of actually being allowed. It’s because we do not trust our own government to apply this ruling without bias. having a rule at all allows for the potential for it to be abused. imagine if Desantis is elected and banned the use of non traditional pronouns. Basically just think of trump or Desantis being in charge of deciding what can or cant be said. Do we like the outcome? I'd rather idiots be legally allowed to say whatever they want and have them be publicly shamed.

I think it's only a problem if it congregates to 1 instead of 4 or so. If one of the 4 goes rogue or disappointing its users, people can easily just jump on a different one. Most servers will suck and that's ok. Good ones will attract users.

This might be true if they didn't kill the main way I interact with the app. It'll be a constant reminder everytime I try to use reddit.

Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?

I work at a small business and we use it to write out dumb social media post. I hated doing it before. Sometimes I'll write it myself still and ask chatgpt to add all the relevant emojis. I also think ai had the chance to be what we've always wanted from Alexa, assistant, and Siri. Deep system integration with the os will allow it to actually do what we want it to do with way less restrictions. Also, try using chatgpts voice recognition in the app. It blows the one built into your phone out of the water.
