  • Juste received this love letter from reddit's admins

  • Reddit: "Subreddits are for the community of reddit users who rely on them."

    Community of reddit users: "We think the sub should stay private, and if you force it open, we'll spam sexy John Oliver and porn."

    Reddit: "wait no not like that"

    This message is mind-blowingly tone deaf.

  • I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.

  • I kinda dig this new (compared to Reddit) "friendly competition" dynamic between servers.

  • Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

  • Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

    After experiencing the death of two "power to the people" platforms due to profit-driven VC-backed corporate meddling, here's hoping the third platform is the charm Lemmy & the fediverse.

  • so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?

  • That's certainly what it's feeling like to me.

    I remember when I was a kid and the Web 1.0 stuff was popular, things like IRC chat and forums were too intimidating/confusing for me to get into. My introduction to being an internet "citizen" was Web 2.0 and the MySpaces/Facebooks/Reddits of the world, where I had a UX approachable enough not to intimidate my teenage self.

    The shift towards the Fediverse feels like a blend of many of the best aspects of Webs 1.0 and 2.0 -- I have a UX that feels familiar, but one that comes with a bottom-up, decentralized grassroots feel that is reminiscent of the early internet.

    I'm bullish for sure.
