I'm using it right now to wrap my head around the fediverse and just how "federated" different instances and protocols are. I never 100% trust everything it says—it's gaslit me in the past, but this isn't exclusive to pi either.
Unfortunately, any that remain closed after Tuesday will just be forced back open by the admins and rebellious moderators will probably get replaced with desperate yesmen looking for an opportunity to grab som slower from the forming vacuum.
I said this in another thread, reddit won't shutter, they'll likely see growth because of their aggressive marketing and a willingness for people to volunteer as mods for a small taste of power
I don't think Reddit dies here. It will lose a lot of content moving forward, but it still has all that information. And talent leaving will create a power vacuum; people will be crawling to make the next big subreddits and there will always be people desperate to moderate.
One thing that made Reddit great and scalable was that you'd typically not view all Reddit subs (or even all popular ones), but rather you'd subscribe to subs that interest you....
I think the comment section being at the bottom is to encourage people to read through posts before they comment. I actually like it, it reminds me of old school forums. I think it has potential to foster a more real sense of community when people are at least made aware of other users, rather than their need to be heard.
Hi there! I've been trying to improve the situation for the past few hours. I managed to disable CF Protection, and as you can see, I'm gradually allowing traffic from the fediverse. There may still be delays in deliveries and posts for some time. If anything is particularly troublesome, please let me know through the contact...
This is weird corporate monopolist thinking, and it's a fucking mind virus. Lemmy doesn't need to be beaten. The Fediverse is fundamentally a cooperative exercise, and deciding that some other piece of software needs to be crushed to dust is not healthy for that exercise.
I hate to admit it, but this is my biggest mental hurdle for the future of the internet. Capitalism has dictated that in order to succeed others must fail thus far. I see the implicit value of the fediverse, but the value of reddit was it's mass (before it hit critical mass, at least). So I need to relearn that I don't need to go to one place for value.
