I can't imagine there's a huge overlap between people seeing this comment and people who said they wouldn't touch social security. The people this needs to be yelled at aren't getting their news online (at least not the ones I've interacted with).

They're definitely trying (https://reboot.digg.com/). Whether or not it'll actually comeback in any meaningful way is a different question...but it does seem like this is the best time to compete with reddit that there's been in like 15 years.

Yeah, I've got a now-defunct lemmy instance, one that's still up but is running v18.something and hasn't had another active user in over a year, and another that I couldn't use with non-local instances because everything was so delayed I was basically interacting with 3 days ago.

On one hand, it sucks that there's so many issues to experience. On the other hand, it's nice that none of these are absolute dealbreakers, especially now that exporting settings/subs is so easy.

Musk has also called it "insane" that some subreddits had banned the ability to post links to X.

Actually, clicking through to the images that elon was replying to, the user had commented that elon isn't a nazi and didn't do a nazi salute. I'm choosing to interpret this as the part that elon was calling insane, not the banning.

were going to get rid of what people preferred and force the hated alternative!

It's not always the hated alternative that wins, hence why we're here right now.

Half a meter up their own ass, explaining how the content shared "wasn't really war plans" so it basically doesn't count.

I'm gun-shy after my experience getting settled in with kbin. That said, here we go.
