I think rexxit is the catalyst to get the platform ready. I don’t think rexxit is a one and done thing. It’s gonna be more of a constant trickle, and lemmy is in a very good place to absorb more users. I browsed /r/all today, and saw many comments of people saying the frontpage sucks because there’s no content. Spez might like to pretend there’s no impact to reddit, but there’s certainly going to be a big impact at least in the near term.

Just make sure to go back in a day or two to make sure your comments/posts stay deleted. Reddit restored all my posts/comments that I edited using Power Delete Suite back to their original content.

May be they already realize it, meaning, they saw all the popular communities already created here, and would much rather stay there as mods.

I didn’t know api changes means 3rd party apps no longer can show nsfw content. Nobody’s going to pay a subscription and not be able to see stuff that they can see on the official app. Looks like reddit is giving all 3rd party app developers a shitty deal whichever way you cut it.

Yeah I wouldn’t have ever signed up for lemmy if this api thing hadn’t come about. This is my first fediverse experience. I was pissed at reddit, but now I don’t care about reddit one way or another. Lemmy has gained enough users to sustain itself even if there is no more mass migration. There is an active community here that will help lemmy grow organically over time.

I don’t think anybody can say beehaw is in any way representative of lemmy.ml politics. As far as I can see, it’s the farthest thing from lemmy.ml or any other politics on either spectrum. I actually think beehaw is a fine example of how independent different instances can be.

Their posts don’t seem to deviate much from their usual posts. Target achieved, I guess?

Is there a reason why they’re doing this? Blackout’s not even political. They just want to be contrarian to everything.

nice. Sounds similar to some flowers with nectar deep inside so that the bees have to get pollen all over them by reaching deep inside.

Looks like one of those carnivorous plants. Does it serve any purpose for the plant to look like this?

Thank you! That makes total sense. I’ll let them know. On a different note, reddit is(was?) my go to spot for stuff like this where I need advice on something I don’t know much about. I made this post here instead of reddit, and wanted to see if the fediverse is truly a reddit replacement. I’m glad to see that it already is.

Right, but I’ve seen tons of comments that say “I’ll at least use the mobile site instead of your app”. If they do this now, then those people will just leave. Plus, blocking mobile site is a dumb move.

It used to get a lot more sunlight on the other side of the door, but I don’t know if it gets much direct sunlight now, because it sits behind the one with the flag. Does it need direct sunlight?

Unfortunately he’s now considered a ‘RINO’ so it doesn’t matter.

Not sure if it’s your cup, but A Short Hike is a very relaxing and wholesome game

You can replace the “Yeah, I second that” with “Block the mobile webpage and force to use app”, because they just started doing that for some users. I’m not kidding.

This happening in the middle of the API gate seems like a pretty dumb move, even for Reddit.

That’s because fines are hilarious. I propose a ‘jail time’ for companies engaging in wrongdoing. Basically a timeframe for which they can’t operate. For small things they should stop operating for a day/few days/week/months/years with or without a chance for ‘parole’ after a period. Scale up based on the crime. For egregious crimes, it should be ‘life’ without a chance of parole. This would get companies to behave so fast you’ll get whiplash.

Over the years I’ve become a glass half full kind of a person when small people fight against big corporations. Eventually the dust settles, and the people give up, but the company goes on. There are exceptions, but this has been the norm. I would be pleasantly surprised if all this actually brings Reddit’s downfall.

I think there are two reasons. I think Reddit has way more ‘normal’ users than Digg who feel strongly about this, and there is no one single Reddit to replace Digg this time around. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Wow that picture looks crazy. I didn’t know bridges could collapse like that due to fire.
