Well the people providing unique perspectives to issues have probably moved. So we move with them. It's not, like, reddit the platform was the one providing those perspectives.
Yeah, I saw that too. But if not buying into microtransactions will not hinder me from finishing the campaign and also affect my endgame, then I'll just ignore it. I hope it's all cosmetics,
I'm in support of temporary defederation, if just to hold out until better tools come around to moderate things coming from outside Beehaw.
I've visited Lemmy.world and there are people there mocking other instances for having a tighter registration policy and not having an open registration. They say we are gatekeeping. But even if we try to explain, I think they wouldn't understand what the reasons are.
Frankly, they are chaotic there. I will be eager to watch the developments in the coming weeks.
That's the part I enjoyed the most. Writing a short description on the application page at Beehaw. And now that I'm in it. I can say that it's the best instance currently. The people and the community is great. I haven't seen a troll or a complainer in the instance in Beehaw. I have many accounts in other instances and Im assured that Beehaw is where it's at.
Some people may never return to Reddit, some will maintain a Reddit presence while simultaneously having a presence in Lemmy and other forums. Then slowly, they will be able to discern the difference in quality, and maybe leave Reddit for good.
So it is very important to have each of our Lemmy instance population have meaningful contributions and keep our boards alive and maintain some semblance of quality content. This will end Reddit. If others have better quality as compared to Reddit, then Reddit will be doomed.
It's okay to not be a successor. In fact, I know one of those you mentioned actively rejects being treated as a Reddit alternative.
The important thing is they exist and have a sizeable footprint where people could choose to spend their online presence and contribute. This makes Reddit less of a monopoly and erodes its hold on users.
I do not want another Reddit. Seeing how bad it became. I want a community with its own flavor that is distinct from Reddit. That way, however, I might feel or whatever my mood is for that time of day. I could choose where and what culture to interact with. These instances and new forum give me the power of choice that Reddit has tried so hard to withhold from us.
I've seen users there mocking the protest. Even outrightly being hostile to individual users who post support. And when I look at their profiles I see that they are mostly 3 or 4-year-old accounts.
It seems that you are right. The users who came into Reddit accompanying its decline, simply do not care and are part of the mindless shitposters who partially ruined the site.
Well the people providing unique perspectives to issues have probably moved. So we move with them. It's not, like, reddit the platform was the one providing those perspectives.
