Eh, I think Lemmy has reached a critical mass of users to sustain itself in terms of content in the long term. Every misstep that Reddit takes will bring about more migrations, and the platform is on its way to form its own identity. It’s wait and see, at this point.

My main concern is complying to GDPR-like regulations, given that federation means that the content in each instance may be stored elsewhere in a more permanent way, compared to a centralised service like Reddit. This might threaten Lemmy and Kbin in the future, I think.

Life changing

Unlanded nobility.

Makes one wonder how many use their Steam Deck and know it runs linux by default

I wonder why it sucked so much? I’m no expert in terms of crafting a search engine, but Reddit has not lacked funds for some years now

Based

This. I think I have 1.1k hours on steam and probably double that outside of it.

Is it open source, though?

He is ancient, but doesn’t look it

I don’t think that this is the correct way to address this problem. While I agree that downvotes shouldn’t be used indiscriminately, simply urging people to use it in another form isn’t going to do much. If people were better, the world would be better. The problem is that people aren’t better, and so we have the problems at hand.

I don’t know, I think a systemic approach to problems is usually a better way to a solution. Just to give a quick idea, which might be a bad one at that, I think that Lemmy could, by default (with the option to toggle the option), ask the user to give their opinion whenever they downvote. It’s simple and small, but could be the push that people need to actually engage in conversation rather than lazily pressing good and bad buttons. I’m not sure it would work, but I think it’s a step ahead of simply yelling to people “Be better!” and expecting things to change. Just my two cents, though.

He is almost four years old today, but he is two in that photo.

I’d actually suggest using Quad9 DNS.

Uh, what is this?

Speaking as someone who used Infinity for Reddit.

I like it. I’d like it even more if it one day accomplishes the goal of making every application on an Android phone look graphically consistent.

How would you rate an S8 in terms of difficulty of repair, regarding screen and battery? I use one and might need to replace these parts, but I am not exactly confident that I’ll not break the phone and can’t afford a new one right now.

Ofc, just in case you’ve had experience with the S8.

Liftoff, until Slide is ready and better than Liftoff

Crypto currency was perhaps one of the biggest mistakes of the last 20 years

I think not having karma tells the user that they don’t have to care about posting the “right” things. This is better, as I think the karma system of Reddit promoted conformity, as people wanted to gamify their experience on the site, and even created a weird economy of people selling high karma accounts to advertisers or whoever wanted karma for whatever reason.

So yeah, I prefer not having visible karma.
