Yup this is massive and it's not a niche subreddit. That means, most likely, more will follow. Sure, reddit will probably force it back online with new mods or whatever, but THIS is how you make a statement. Hat's off r/videos!

It's the legend themselves! May you succeed in your endeavors and wishing you poopless days ahead

Finally! Goodbye Portainer!

This is my first time seeing a kbin and a Lemmy user interact with each other. I did conceptually understand the fediverse, but this actually puts it into perspective. That's amazing!

I like communities. I believe that's the the /c/ stands for

Ok so I really need some context here. Is this real, photoshopped or AI?

As a person who works in tech and is an early adopter for almost every new gizmo out there, I feel that we were better off back in the day when stuff was all analog and things were done manually.

Sure it was inconvenient, but it made us experience the world more and actually interacted with real people. I have crappy social skills and I have seen the change in myself over the years. I get anxious when my phone rings now, as opposed to being excited back in the day.

I might be in the minority, but ignoring the actual design, I'm hopeful that the trend of flat design is coming to an end. Wasn't really a big fan of that.

We will watch your career with great interest

Yeah pretty suspicious tbh

Unless they're going to come out and say "Belated April Fools! Ha ha!", I don't see how this is not going to be a dumpster fire

As a relatively new Canadian, I'm happy to be given the opportunity to build a life here and proud of how the culture is very welcoming. I love the country and its diversity.

There are a few things that need to change, but most importantly, the housing crisis needs to be addressed meaningfully. As a homeowner myself, it's creating a massive divide between the ones who were able to get into the housing market vs the ones who weren't.

The rising unaffordablility will manifest in many ways such as increasing crime, polarized views, fascism, extremism, aggressiveness, and so on.

In my opinion, the only thing that can substantially slow down or limit the rising costs is not just by simply building more homes, but actually banning home owners from owning, say, more than 3 properties. But not sure if that's even possible or ethical. Just my 2 cents.

Ooooh we can edit titles?

Yeah, I agree. Like how Facebook has been dying for a while, but these platforms are immense. Their quality has declined and people (like me) have indeed left, but I don't think they will disappear completely any time soon.

Love Over the Hedge

Yeah, sarcasm doesn't translate well in text. At times, it's easy to identify a sarcastic comment, and sometimes it's not clear. I have myself interpreted comments on differently before seeing the /s at the end. Changes the entire perspectives sometimes.

Great analogy. Same with r/RingsOfPower and r/LOTR_on_Prime. One community doesn't like the show and the other one does. You join whichever most aligns with your preference.

I have a naïve question. Isn't this illegal in the first place as per the Health Act? How was it even under consideration and why wasn't this immediately shutdown?

So far all the coverage I've seen for similar cases is along the lines that "some clinics have been charging patients for preferential access to healthcare because of staff shortage" or something like that. The general vibe I've been getting is "Oh, hope they don't do this, it isn't right" instead of "They CAN'T do this".

If this is indeed illegal, why hasn't there been any aggressive takedowns as it would have been done for other crimes?

Really great article. I've been hearing about it for a while, but finally managed to read through it fully. Very well thought out and a brilliant write-up IMO.

I think we do have a sufficient number of users now to keep going irrespective of how reddit fares. Communities are beginning to form and even if there is no futher mass exodus from reddit, I think Lemmy will be fine and will see organic growth over time.

I've already noticed I'm spending more time of Lemmy than reddit since the past few days.
