The Sync drama truly is a Reddit moment.
The Sync drama truly is a Reddit moment.
It was bound to happen eventually; these migrations happen in waves, after all. Not to mention, a solid chunk of former Reddit users just stopped using social media entirely.
So have other forums. Maybe it’s just these newfangled social media websites that have longevity issues?
I’ve got a couple accounts on various instances as backup, since we can’t exactly transfer accounts across instances just yet.
I, for one, am glad to be on a server that isn’t run by tankies, nazis or some other crazy fuckos.

I know it’s easier to say than do, but ignore ‘em. I got myself into some pointless argument a few days ago, even though what I should’ve done was block the individual and move on.
Sadly, you’re right; Lemmy’s quality will most likely tank just as hard as Reddit when it goes mainstream.
I’ll admit, I’ve had far better experiences here than I have on Reddit; Lemmings aren’t as prone to argue on nonsensical topics as Redditors are.
That being said, there are still more than a few nasties here.
That’s how they collect the surplus they have right now. Without it, they could be in much direr straits if funding were to be suddenly cut off.
That should tell you something about how little effort people have put into understanding the Fediverse.
Because it’s a complex feature that may involve recurring costs for developers, and they may need more time to ‘get it right’.
Honestly, now that you say it…that does sound like quite the case study.
Feels nice, being a pioneer.
Is Tildes really ‘competing’? The invite-based signup obviously invites the most dedicated and ‘quality’ individuals, but I don’t see how that’s gonna help with critical mass.
As for Squabbles, I’m suspicious of yet another centralized platform. Honestly, I’m just sorta ‘done’ trusting wannabe billionaires.
I mean, Reddit killed off ‘polished UX’ and that’s what drove me here. All the great 3PAs are on the Fediverse, after all!
Finally, the fun kind of schizoposting!
