I did. I'm disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.
I think I could count the number of porn posts I've seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn't mind more porn tbh.
"Okay, so it's the 41st millenium and there's this guy called The Emperor. He doesn't have a name, he's just The Emperor and he's the most powerful psychic in the galaxy. He's also a skeleton that's barely even alive sitting on a giant physic-amplifying throne. You see, what happened is that around the 30th millenium..."
As a Reddit refugee, and thus part of the problem, this kind of thing is what makes me unsure if I want to use Lemmy. I don't want to suddenly lose access to communities I've become accustomed to for reasons beyond my control.
Also, is there a way to see all the instances that have specifically defederated or blocked this one?
I agree, this kind of thing is exactly what I think is going to stunt Lemmy growth. Federation is a double edged sword.
It seems like Lemmy is already experiencing further fragmentation and authority struggles. It doesn't bode well for growing Lemmy as a whole. Federation seems to be a double edged sword.
Really unfortunate, but not really unexpected honestly. The average user probably doesn't care that much and will just go along with whatever because they're just used to Reddit and aren't interested in putting forth the effort to find alternatives, regardless of how simple it actually is. It was an amazing effort by those who cared, but I'm gonna put on my tinfoil condom here and say that a lot of mods have likely been replaced and the criticality of Reddit has been intentionally suppressed in favor of positive sentiment. Don't give into vitriol, after all we did exactly what it says at the end of the post and we seem to be much happier overall. I would have never heard of Lemmy or Mastodon had all of this this not happened.
Same. I won't let go of Reddit completely until more of the people in my favorite subs migrate and rebuild their communities here, if they do so at all. But Lemmy and Mastodon will become my new main social hubs either way.
Reddit has answered almost every question I've ever had for years. The potential loss of all the knowledge is my greatest concern.
That was the thing I enjoyed most about it really
Yeah. Reddit has been my internet home since 2012. It's surreal and depressing to see it so far gone. Still unsure where I will go next, but lemmy feels familiar at least.
The insane greed is something I simply can't comprehend. Isn't there a point at which it's enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren't possible. There's a limit to value and possible revenue. I don't know where all of this is going, but it can't be anywhere good, and I'm sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn't, perhaps even shouldn't, have more.
