This seems unhealthy and obsessive at this stage... I've been on Reddit for more than 15 years (don't even remember exactly, my account was 15 years old but I lurked without logging in for a long while before that) so I understand letting go can be hard, but I think it's just better for your mental health to do so. Don't ragebait yourself, don't expect that any protest will work - it will not, and reddit will only show potential investors massive engagement numbers when they propose to infest r/place with ads.
Just give up - that fight is lost, and we can now have our fun here. We couldn't save Digg before, and we can't save reddit now. I have moved on and it was actually easier than expected. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone - just don't engage with reddit and talk to us here!
So you think words of an Ukrainian priest about Russian atrocities published by a British media source are invalid because... Americans vote for warmongering? Really?
Or do you believe barbarism is a zero-sum game and only one place in the whole wide world can engage in it at the same time?
And finally, you say "This isn't barbarism. War is barbarism" - what exactly do you believe is happening in Ukraine right now?
For some reason I am unable to make any posts or responses here from my regular instance (trying from Kbin now), which is unfortunate, but hopefully I can at least lurk!
I’m up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don’t see the point of. I’ve got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.
A lot. The way I curate my feed is I subscribe to communities that I'm actively and significantly interested in and block all of them that I don't see myself ever wanting to check out. The rest are places that I might want to see, but maybe not all the time. This way I can filter by Subscribed to see a very focused feed and by All if I want some more randomness, but still without topics I'm really disinterested in.
Hi. Is there a tool to see fastest growing Lemmy communities? It’s easy to see the big communities, but it would be helpful to see fast growing communities to join in with community building for things you may have an interest in. is there anything that currently does this?
Not sure if a percentage growth of subscribers is the right metric - a growth from 1 to 3 subscribers looks much bigger when expressed in %...
I visited one of the communities listed, and it literally only had 3 posts - a welcome one and two pinned ones. All by the same author. That's not exactly what I'd call a fast growig or trending community...
Why don't penalties for fraudulent or criminal practices START at 100% of all revenue generated by such prectices and go up from there? If the only penalty for stealing $1,000 was a $10 fine, I'd just keep stealing - why are companies expected to do otherwise?

Without exaggeration the best Android app I've ever used, and the most used one on my every phone for over a decade. Thank you so much for working on it for so long and giving us all the best damn reddit experience there was. See you around on Tildes!
I'm old enough to remember the peaceful times before video games - there were no wars, no protests, and people were all nice to each other. And then, Pong was released and everything changed...
My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.
So like the rest of Amazon then? Never used kindle, but Amazon for physical goods has been a dumpster fire for a while - completely overrun with dropshipped garbage, to the extent that it's actually difficult now to find quality stuff in the sea of "brands" with random string of capital letter names, all using the same poorly photoshopped image...
Rif was reddit for me. It was how I accessed it 99.9% of the time. By far the most used app on all my phones for more than a decade. I'm extremely sad that this is how it dies, but all things must end, it seems. Rest in peace old friend. And rot in pieces reddit, for killing the best goddamned app I've ever used...

I genuinely and unironically think vandalism like this should be grounds for cancellation of your passport for a while in addition to all other penalties (say, for 5 years). If you can't play nice, you're grounded and you don't get to visit other countries until you grow up.
The pigheaded doubling- and tripling-down on this is impressive in a way. Let's see in a couple of months how many actual content creators left reddit and came here or somewhere else. I do hope spez is left with an empty site full of lurkers and bots, after all people who actually provided content for free for years leave him in the dust...
Then again, I'm not going back there anyway, so to be completely honest I don't care that much - the fediverse is my new home (even though I'm repulsed by the name).
Artifact looks good, but after playing with it for a while I don't think I can deal with the account if ads and autoplaying videos in articles on an unfiltered internet... Might try opening everything in an ublock-fortified external browser, but that's a bit of a pain tbh.
This is a response. I guess it's something you can do. But it doesn't seem like it's going to help much - it will have so many false positives cause kids, but not really be accessible in an emergency.
I do genuinely hope no teacher ever goes postal with a gun issued due to that rule, but I do wonder what the reaction would be to a tragedy like that - a new rule to issue guns to all students when they enter the school so that they can defend themselves? The mind boggles...
I do agree that the protest in that particular form is completely pointless, as evidenced by the spez memo - reddit admins do not care about a short blackout and will not change course because of it.
That's why I decided to simply not go back there anymore - even if all subs come back, I will not. I'll miss a lot of things from there, but my personal blackout shall continue indefinitely, as overdramatic and pompous as it sounds :)
