This is why I’m hoping people stay even after the blackout. Lemmy has potential but a big part of it is the community. I already like it here and I’ve seen it grow despite being here for only a week. It’s honestly amazing to watch.

Honestly, Jerboa in alpha is already better than the official reddit app for me. It’s no TPA reddit app, but the number of contributors (in github) has risen by a lot so I’m expecting/hoping development will pick up and it’ll get better fast.

I appreciate the community the most in here. They’ve been very welcoming and minimal, if any, toxicity.

That’s true. I should stop getting triggered by those. But still, more ammo would be nice. At the very least other people would see the evidence and won’t listen to them.

I have been waiting for this.

Hi. I’m commenting here because I’m not sure this deserves its own post.

Lately on reddit, lemmy and kbin have been mentioned more as reddit alternatives. While that may be a good thing (free advertising is good, at least), I’ve seen more than a few people say (unevoqually, imho) that A) lemmy/kbin is bad for privacy and B) they collect data. I’ve read kbin’s privacy policy as well as the devs’ responses on github, but is there any other links I can point them to?

It’s incredibly frustrating, tbh. It feels like they’re out to discredit lemmy and kbin. I’ve answered a few myself, but there’s much more out there. They don’t even give a reason. They usually just say “lemmy is terrible for privacy” or “lemmy collects your data.” No links, no whatever.

Edit: my last reddit account is going to seem like a lenny marketer if this doesn’t stop lol.

I’m still amazed at how many people I know still think cars are better before because they were “harder to break.” Yeah, you can sit on the hood of an old car and it won’t do anything to it, but try crashing at 80km/h and you’re gonna wish that unbreakable object broke. Anything higher and you might not have a chance to wish for anything. Lol.
