How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?
  • I mean I don't mind the current state of Lemmy right now, in fact I'm actually quite liking how it is right now. It'll probably take a lot of time to even get on the same level as Reddit if it ever does, however I'm seeing so much users, moderators, and devs who are committed to making this platform work and that in and of itself is amazing to see. Things like this actually show there is a human side to technology and that we can make it work. Anyways that's my food for thought.

  • Reddit is now randomly refusing to show posts without login. In iOS, it’ll redirect me to App Store
  • Who could've known that Reddit all along was a faceless corporation that makes horrible decisions!

  • Welcome to My World - at The EndTimes Era's. Global Civil Society and they multiverse.
  • Hey, I have to delete your post as it does not fit in this community due to the fact that it is not a question and therefore irrelevant to !asklemmy@lemmy.world. There should be other communities that would welcome general posts like this!

  • Diving subreddit has new mods who promise to put an end to the protest, commentors are not happy. Is this the end of SCUBA???
  • Holy crap lol, when I visited the /u/ModCodeofConduct account recently, all the posts nowadays are simply just trying to find mods for literally a huge range of subreddits. Lmao it's insane seeing the new mods just banning users left and right.

  • Ubisoft reportedly deleting customer accounts with purchased games if they have been inactive for too long
  • This is why I'm a big supporter of physical media if possible. Sure the actual game may not be on there or something because it's too big or whatnot, however with what the hell is going on with digital companies in the modern videogaming world, yeah no they simply just can not be trusted much with the amount of power they hold. This includes but not limited to: Ubisoft, Steam, EA, Epic Games, etc.

    EDIT: Yeah GOG is fine apologies for that, however the well majority of games in the digital world are simply just licenses that these companies have control of.

  • What do you think about cloud services such as iCloud? If you use one, would you recommend it?
  • Right now I use Google One (G-Drive, Photos, etc) on a 200 GB plan because I share this with a really good friend of mine who needs Google Drive storage, and with this I get a VPN on my phone as included with the plan. I also would use iCloud+ on a 50 GB plan merely for backup and the other really useful features such as Hide My Email and Private Relay. Also I would store pretty important data on my iCloud as I do have Advanced Data Protection on which essentially end to end encrypts my iCloud data which is really useful.

  • Can you add "Why YSK" to the start of your text body? This is for readability purposes as stated in Rule 2.

  • YSK: lemmyverse.net is the best way to find active communities
  • For readability purposes, can you add "Why YSK:" and include the reason for this post in accordance to rule 2?

  • Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • I personally moved to Bitwarden from 1Password due to the cost, and I believe for an average user, Bitwarden is definitely the way to go as it is very value-friendly (at $10 USD/year), and it is open-sourced unlike many other proprietary password managers. 1Password may get more features, however it being $3.99 USD/month, many users don't need the extra security features and I strongly believe that common sense is the best security for any user.

  • YSK: if you think taking an ambulance to an Emergency Room because you think it'll get you seen sooner. DON'T!
  • Can you add "Why YSK:" to the start of your text body as stated in Rule 2? Thanks!

  • What's your go-to "cosy" city?
  • Oh man, I usually start off "small" with unlimited money and make suburbs, gradually to high density. Then at some point I'll be like "oh man I should build a great big urban center!" and realize how performance-taxing it is!

    Most of the time I just roam around in my city and watch cars move by.

  • Reddit officials forces moderators to reopen subreddits or get overthrown
  • This is what I said to another person:

    I’m assuming just current reddit admins are going to take over or getting some certain moderators from subreddits (that aren’t even of high ranking) to take over and remove the higher rankings from power, which then they will be the ones reopening the subreddits.

    Now that I read it this sounds like a coup d’état

  • Reddit officials forces moderators to reopen subreddits or get overthrown
  • Oh god... trusting internet users for a democracy, and don't get me started on the trustworthiness of the Reddit staff themselves.

  • It may seem a lot of work, but it gives people tasks to do in their free time and contribute to a community and makes sure that everything is in balance and order as people want to see these communities thrive.

  • I mean the chances of that happening may occur to some instances, however because Lemmy is decentralized, it will probably not happen to the whole thing and I'm confident in the leadership of Lemmy.

  • wait a second here, what did you say?

  • This has happened way too many times, especially in many books. This makes doing a lot of my assignments a lot more difficult and often has dissuaded me from reading. I am trying to get better at reading, so I got myself some more books (that I'll read sometime in the future maybe) and combining it with some music or white noise to prevent me from zoning out.

    I’m using the same Reddit avatar because I still think it looks cool. Shame on Reddit for their poor leadership though.
