I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
I really hate to say it but I feel the same. The first 1-3 days of the blackout were amazing. Every response was a thoughtful paragraph. Then it suddenly grew exponentially, was overtaken with shitty memes and stupid horsebeaten jokes in every comment section. The fall of Lemmy was like the fall of reddit but in 7 days instead of 7 years. I really hope it was a temporary adjustment and the userbase evens out and the community management/search tools improve.
Yup. As someone that has been on Reddit since like 2007, when it was purely a tech news site and I don't even think had comments yet, I don't really understand these "just stop talking about it" posts. No. This guy took something that held immense value for a large percentage of our lives, and turned it into something near-worthless (at least a shell of it's former glory) over a few years time. I think we should talk about it until it's dead. I want to hear about it's death knell.
They're both extremely similar words so it's no surprise people get them mixed up, like psychologist vs psychiatrist. However I don't see a sociopath ever becoming the CEO of a successful (at any point) company.
I don't even know that spez is a psychopath, but he's absolutely panicking and in way over his head.
From my understanding, they have a sense of cold empathy where they can very easily identify the feelings that someone is feeling in order to manipulate them, but they do not actually feel those feelings themselves, so they aren't actually empathizing. They don't feel sad when they see someone crying, but they can certainly understand they're sad and they know how they should react to it.
Unless they get access to your unlocked phone (in which case you already fucked up the "don't talk to the police" part) how would they get invites or know who to talk to?
Maybe this isn't the right thing to do considering this is casualuk, but because it's showing at the top of all, and many users are new and don't yet automatically look at the sub name, I want to put a small reminder:
Fathers day is on Sunday the 18th in America. Also the 19th is a federal holiday.
Carry on friends across the pond, just want to prevent fediverse newbies from panicking.
I'm not sure if this is new, but when I clicked on the /r/pics protest post link from the frontpage here, I was redirected to this: https://old.reddit.com/premium...
I like that you posted a John Oliver puppy for upvotes since this hot take was so heavily downvoted.
Seems someone wants to have their cake and eat it too.
Fuck off spez.
For what it's worth I really enjoyed Lemmy a lot more than reddit for the first 1-4 days. Now it's filled with a lot more people and the comments went from insightful paragraphs to meme-y 1-liners, but that's not something a magazine purge can't fix.
I've been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
