I wish something in the license of activity pub could have prevented corporate espionage. Make no mistake, meta will absolutely dominate and kill off the fediverse

agreed. as others have stated. Transparency. But also, new software, new tech (in a way, the fediverse/activity pub), and hopefully a new beginning. Happy to be here. If not technically on the ground level (lemmy has been around for a short time before we knew reddit was going to implode), close to it!

Thanks, installed. But still rooting for Memmy too! Love everyone who is stepping up to the plate for the mobile app scene!

Memmy is updated almost daily at this point, the App has come a long way just this week even

agreed

reddit is panicking, trying to claw in anything they can before they have nothing.

reported, are the mods actively removing tankie content? I would suppose since it violates the rule.

Sorry, I’m new here. Isn’t Radio Sputnik Russian state media? Which could be considered propaganda, which would break rule 3?

Also, is this some of the “tankie” content that lemmy opponents have been citing? I know this is lemmy.ml and that this may be the type of content they want here, so I hope I’m not offending anyone.

This is what’s beautiful in open source. I wonder if any one has had any luck making the old.Reddit nesting style yet

Open source, so I’m sure someone can. Platform is very young - I suspect that as it gains popularity, more people will contribute to source, and we’ll eventually see more options for customization. Both at the user level and the instance level giving people more reasons to choose other instances over just population of it.

Yup, I feel like a lot of people complaining of too much centralization don’t fully understand how the federation concept works. Even if a single instance goes down, turns evil, ect - all of the content would have already propagated to all the other instances. It’s not ideal, because those instances would loose sync with each other since the initial instance went dark but we wouldn’t loose the content but commenters can still discuss within their own instance.

Again, not ideal - but at least the content would be preserved.

Hmm, I wonder if US users benefit from that? I’m sure they could tell by the IPs where the content was posted. Maybe that’s too much of a hassle though

Can’t say I’m surprised. I’m sure they’ll stop people from deleting their own content off soon too. It’s amazing how short sighted they can be burning the community that gave them the decades of free content that made Reddit popular.

Don’t know how to help but agree on how important search is. Which might be even harder to do given federation.

Also upvote for firefly user name

I’ve found found the same in other communities, I was surprised how many people just didn’t care or were actively shilling for Reddit.

Honestly, I brought up the issue in a top 1% subreddit by population and I got downvoted into oblivion. The few that would engage were just like “stfu”, and “lol no” and “I don’t care”

ok, so it’s not just me. Hope it gets resolved soon!

god it’s terrifying and so true. I didn’t realize how addicated I was to apollo until muscle memory just kept clicking the damn app!

how recently were you a mod on reddit? I’ve been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I’m receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)

my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
