"Dumb" is too strong a word for the way the questions were worded. I know some users here are on Tildes as well, or Squabble (idk if that's how you spell it). Doesn't mean lemmy is THE alternative - just one of many minor ones. Also, being on lemmy doesn't mean you're not thinking of moving away specially with Meta's arrival.
I really like it. The community is also really cool. More like a small town feel than a huge city like reddit. I hope I don't have to move anytime soon.
Many people are taking it seriously. But people like you and me can't really do much if big companies (and/or governments) continue what they're doing.
I honestly don't think it'd be as successful. It could even fail. A lot (dare I say the majority?) of redditors loathe Meta. Even the ones who are staying at reddit. I don't think they'd take too kindly to Meta taking up their space.
For those users already on the Meta web, I'm not sure a reddit-like site will appeal much to them.
I don't think so. A lot of people value their IG accounts, so it's more of a trap. If deleting their Threads account means losing their IG account, they won't do it.
A lot of the posts say they couldn't make an account or lemmy is ugly. Well..
it's not our problem if your dumbass can't even handle signing up. If you're that incompetent to be unable to sign up, good luck with piracy.
lemmy is ugly? Ok that's subjective. There's also kbin which looks great (imho) on desktop. Lemmy-wise, our apps (in fucking alpha) already look better and function better than the official reddit app.
Let them stay there. It's ironic those "pirates" prefer to support big corpo. Shows what they really are.
Edit: and that breaks my "X number of days without browsing reddit." Tbf i only looked at that post. Yeah, that's what I'll tell myself to feel better. Lmao.
Or they can decide to shut down the instance. If you have the means to do so, consider donating to your friendly neighborhood host. Hosting an instance isn't free.
It is. And even if you wanted to localize it to specific devices, there's also a standalone version. I'm using it on my laptop with Arch and it's pretty good. Adblocking on the go, or if you don't want (or can't) mess with the router for some reason.
I personally don't want lemmy to end up as a reddit replacement. I'm scared the discussions will get worse like it did in reddit. Nowadays, people in lemmy actually discuss with you and not downvote-bomb or make a snarky comment for karma. I do hope we grow, though.
This is weird af, but I enjoy the AKG K240 Studios. The mids are too in-your-face for many people (and the bass took a vacation) but I love the details. Overall, I'm enjoying the Sundaras the most. My next target is either Focal Clear, Edition XS, or R70x.
Lmao. True. I know some people who think 1080p is still bad, and here I am content with 480 on my phone 😂
(don't kill me, guys)
