i really want to, I really like the distributed concept, but posting/commenting times out a lot - easily 80% of the time. maybe I’ll give it a few weeks and come back to it.

as far as reddit goes? if it cant access it without infinity then I will never access it. deleted all of my accounts except one, and it’s only usable until infinity shuts down.

why?

I’d think that despite a fair number of folks leaving permanently and new content being created in non-publicly accessible subs, reddit will probably limp along for a few more months - the company leadership has steadfastly refused to listen to their userbase and instead has repeatedly doubled down on their untenable position.

unsurprising

C&H

never heard of lemmy prior to this week - I had heard of mastodon but never really got into either twitter or it. have been looking at some of the other fedi apps, some of them show promise

unexpectedly?

funding is better than monetizing a platform

gatekeeping, censorship, shadowbans from commenting in a different community, echo chambers.

willful misunderstanding. absolutely no one should trust anything spez says

compared to exiting college and realizing that the real world has different rules?

the median price for a house in my area is $900k. median. if I wanted to buy a house that wasnt in a crime ridden hell hole, I’d have to move somewhere that has no jobs.

my project at this point in time is building an RV and living it in until I can afford to buy land and run water/sewer/electricity to it. the upside is that a house on wheels can drive where it’s warm.

opinions are like assholes - everyone has one

basically all subreddits willingly and actively marginalize any dissenting opinion - reddit as a whole/as a company is guilty of this as well. TD was upfront about their ideology, namely public worship of their Presidential nominee, and then acting President. a large part of why that subreddit was banned was the massive amount of non-left leaning “spam” that routinely made it to the front page on literally a daily basis. ultimate trolls in action, I suppose - but a lot of the memes were funny and I enjoyed it.

yeah, not disagreeing or trying to stand up for reddit and their admittedly poor decisions.

“hate” means a lot of different things to different people, largely depending on their ideology. reddit as a whole was always very left-leaning and anything that was the opposite of that got the banhammer - even many moderate sites offended spez and they got disappeared, CIA style. from what I remember, TD was mostly a lot of memes - and there have been many, many other subreddits that are far more offensive than TD was. they often lasted for years, despite repeated calls to have them banned.
