Is the board in the picture what they tried to pass off as a quantum processor?

There’s no way anyone actually fell for that

The only long term solution is improving our product

Then why do you only do the opposite?

Thanks for the insightful post. I suppose I'll share my position in case anyone else stumbling across it is in a similar boat.

Personally, I would like to stay on reddit. I like many of the communities I found on there; the shear volume of users enabled more niche interests to find sizable groups. Of course, this is also what wrought many of reddit's problems, but I always seemed to be able to separate them from me. I found my way through the toxic users, but there's only so much you can do about toxic management.

Lemmy is ambitious and its existence is admirable, but I don't think it can capture what reddit had. I want to go back to reddit, but not to the reddit that is antagonizing its users like it is now.
