This is all everyone is going to talk about for a while huh? As if most of the active posts being about Reddit wasn’t bad enough.
If we want Lemmy to succeed we have to do more than whine about this kind of thing 24/7.

Damn, just straight up stealing other people’s content. Very cool

Looks like for now they’re just going to use their own forums for updates and such. Would be cool if they landed on Lemmy eventually like the Star Trek subreddit did.
I agree, but the whole “instances” and federation stuff can be overwhelming for the average user. As long as enough power users and content creators make the move, then Lemmy has a good shot long-term.
Doesn’t bother me. I’m not a FOSS-only person, although I like using FOSS stuff when I can. As others have said, in a worst-case scenario, you still have your text files. Even if you really went nuts with plugins and have all sorts of custom stuff that won’t easily transfer to another service, it’s still all yours and you can probably recreate most of it somewhere else.
I think the real test will be when these API rules go into effect at the end of the month. Will all these people who showed solidarity the last two days leave the site then, or will they just quietly download the official app and continue on?
My first thought is that’s crazy and way overboard. My second thought is what have y’all been doing to the bathrooms??
God I hope this game is good 🤞
Dang it, Ubisoft is gonna reel me back in with this one.
I hope that’s how it goes. I’m just wary or Meta with their love of data harvesting having an interesting in ActivityPub. That said, I’ll wait and see how it goes before making a judgment.
I think it’s a smart move by them, too. There’s a real desire for “Twitter without Musk’s stupidity,” and they have the capability to do it.
I’d wager most will go back. But Lemmy might retain a pretty substantial amount of its new users. I for one want to stay here, but we’ll see how many content-creating users return to Reddit after the blackout.
Horizon Zero Dawn. The first time I played it I could not get into the tutorial, just felt so bland. Then years later I tried it again, pushed through the tutorial, and it’s now my all time favorite video game series.
