Welcome to all you new folks! Water is great!
Welcome to all you new folks! Water is great!
I would say, it’s less sad and more liberating to be honest with you. I’ll certainly continue to use Reddit in the long term, but it will be much more in frequently than it was in the past. Moving forward I think this is going to be the primary place where I spend my time. It’ll be cool to see it grow from what it was just a month ago.
What is TIHI? Thanks I Hate It? That is all that comes to mind.
Right. I’m loving this. It is a huge breath of fresh air. Obviously the people hosting Lemmy.world have to pay for this though. If they put out a subscription that was minimal in cost I would pony up even now with the jank and all. This place is worth investing my time and energy into I feel.
My only takeaway from all this is that it is obviously way more information was revealed than anyone had hoped. Also this is not a console war thing, but someone over at Sony needs to be fired for that whole redaction debacle. Lol.
Why do you feel LinkedIn is creepy? Just curious. Out of all the social media presence I currently have LinkedIn seems to me like the only one that is actually benefiting me. I post very little on there unless I am promoting a professional achievement.
I am pretty open about my life and profession online. If someone were to dig into me they would become bored pretty fast.
No need to virtue signal, friends. There’s no stage. ;)
I have seen very little of that here to be truthful. There are always people that live online and only formulate their opinions on what they see online or on social media. But thus far Lemmy has not had many people either left or right politically that have been shoving anything down others throats. It has been chill and I hope it stays that way for a long while.
No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn’t really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking “This aint worth it anymore” so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.
Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.
Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit Reddit admins vet mods? I just assumed it was always a boys club of who knows and likes who in the modding community.
It is not very good. I’ve used Bard, BingAi and ChatGPT to write VBA code. I can paste the same prompt into all three. ChatGPT usually gets it right. Bard rarely does without really breaking it down and explaining what I want like I am explaining to a 5 year old.
I cannot recall which phone it was, but going to sports bars in college and changing the channel on the TV to the games I wanted to watch was so cool. Probably pissed a whole lotta people off, but I was a young college shithead and didn’t really register that at the time.
This place has existed for a lot longer than the last month.
I used the script that was bouncing around and yeeted my entire post history and comment history. I’m sure Reddit will bring it all back at some point because they’re Reddit.
Props to the mods, but they are on borrowed time. It is just a matter of time before Reddit admins step in and take over the site. I just hope that replacement mods say enough to get the role and then immediately carry on.
That is…absolutely hideous. I don’t mind the color pink in the least, but that is just straight up fugly. Reminds me of when guys on construction sites will spray paint their powertools pink or some highlight color so people wont steal em.
I’m sure Reddit will remain for many years, but I seriously hope this is the beginning of a major shift in peoples approach to large sites like them. Many smaller communities can only be a good thing for the internet. Lemmy/Beehaw are exactly what I hope become more commonplace. Mega social media platforms all need to go.
I’m not sure where I will be moving forward, but I would say more likely that not it will not be on Reddit. That much I do know. I will still use Reddit on occasion, but the sense of community is mostly gone for me.
That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.
