For real though, since I joined Lemmy (last Friday, 4 days into blackout) I probably spend as much daily time here as I spent there before blackout 😅 but I’m enjoying it !
It’s nice to see posts made by real people; this way (using Lemmy), you realize just how much bots’ crap is Reddit made of.
Agree. The lack of bots, sponsored posts and AutoMod comments are a breath of fresh air
oh man I do not miss scrolling past the thousand word automod essay on every freaking post. I kinda miss sorting by controversial though.
That reminds me of r/shitposting, there used to be a time where you could ruin an entire post and have like more than 50 replies of the autobot alone
Best way to fight an addiction is to get addicted to something else
Same here, it took me a while to figure out how Lemmy works, but I think I’m getting it. Honestly I can’t believe I haven’t found out about this before now. Go fediverse!
My addiction is worse now.
Lemmy is the first platform I’ve come across that I’m actually excited to use in many years. Being federated and not motivated by profits (with all the tracking and selling of personal information that it entails) makes me feel like I’m not the product.
Your information is freely available through the API of these platforms so I could track you myself now 😌😌
LoL. I wasn’t really distracted by random subs on reddit. But on Lemmy. People are into flashlights???!!
I know! Thank God I’m not the only one. I’ve been seeing that community constantly while trying to figure out how to use Lemmy.
Hey, at least it’s not
crackredditMe: I have to spend less time on social media.
Also me: Federation is right thing. Do not leave!The first few days were kind of tough; but once I started finding communities I liked, my feed got pretty nice.
Excuse me, does anyone know how to delete someone else’s post? I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Just kidding, I love it here.
Yes, I know how. Just press the button work the forbidden on it, go to the previous page and reload. Gone!
We’ve got to spend the time to help the place grow! (and other excuses)
It’s even worse now tbh lol!
Indeed! This is where reddit goes to die, to paraphrase a great contemporary philosopher (/s/s/s, über/s, in case it’s needed)
I don’t even know what you said, much less where the sarcasm was.
I do not miss the agent-arranged, canned-response, obvious movie/book/TV show AMA’s…
Victoria days were the best…
Maybe we can build something similar
I’m on kbin and yeah, this is my new home
Got to love the Fediverse, eh!
Mhm
