And spray paint

Still a big deal. Having a company owned by Microsoft decide to pull out of using your site is gonna drive traffic elsewhere. Reddit is only as useful as the content produced by users on it.

Their own feedback section on their site. Otherwise… ???

Ive tried both. I prefer Memmy. But i feel the Mlem devs are doing their best. Give them time. We will see some good competition between the two!

Apparently i sound like a bot when writing applications…

Probably a lot. They love bootlicking

Waste of money.

Giving and receiving gold was surprisingly, one of my least favourite things. Someone gave me gold once and i felt beholden to say thank you? I didnt ask for it, i didnt comment in hopes of getting given “gold”. I never gave anyone else gold. Why would i give a shit about getting it myself? Its a fucking forum.

I think the aesthetic and layout could be tweaked but im quite happily, happier than i was with reddit even, with how responsive and easy to use the UI is.

Even typing a comment i have all these text and image options beneath the text box right now, i havent used them once but could see potential uses for them. In reddit i would have had to do some dumb shit with formatting to get that kinda stuff, so my posts and comments were just text with paragraphs and occasionally a picture.

I may consider running my own federated instance at some point but we shall see!

It wasn't pleasant before either, looking back. Everyone else has said it, conversations were so shallow. Every comment section filled with copy/paste, bot-like comments. “Thank you kind stranger” type shit which i found embarrassing to be honest, gave me second hand embarrassment reading it.

Reposts multiple times a week. Low effort, unfunny shitposting. The same 3 questions on repeat seemingly everyday.

Just look at r/askreddit and it says just about everything you need to know for even some of the niche subs.

I kinda want it to die now.

What we need is a group of “hackers” like lizard squad back in the day (yes the dumb hacker trend we had) to DOS or spam threads with bots. Or DOS reddit mods and admins of larger useless subs that arent considered critical resources for important real life shit.

Yes im condoning dumb shit that got old over 10 years ago, but at this point… does it matter?? May aswell just be dicks with it.

I love VX bro

See if you can adopt XMR (monero). Requires less fiat converting and is decentralised&secure.

Reading this was funny. Maybe its the tism but i couldnt tell if this was two people being honest with one another or being passive aggressive?

Eitherway, thanks for making the entry to creating your own instance easier for non-techies. Pls keep the “cancel at anytime” thing.

Yeah, If its just me on my own instance i would only have to run it when im actually using lemmy. Saving energy on my own, and bandwidth and load on other instances maybe?

Good! ;)

Slice!

Deleted my one and only account I had left and have no intention of returning. LME feels nicer to use and i like the idea of separate instances and more decentralisation. Gives more agency to more people.

Yeah your issue is youre looking it from the perspective of a cancer cell. Growth isnt always good. Too much growth and you run out of resources. Keeping things sustainable and self sufficient and not reliant on loans and “infinite growth” ponzi economics tends to work better in the long run. (Example: libraries)
