It’s not really surprising people are having problems with people on lemmy. For the first time in at least a decade we are in the Wild Wild West of a part of the internet. Things haven’t normalized themselves yet so shit is weird and sometimes unpleasant.
It’s okay. I was optimistic at first, but I don’t think this platform is cohesive enough yet to be worth using consistently, especially with instances defederating from each other off and on. It means you have to have multiple accounts to access certain communities, and then kbin is a whole other thing I guess? Because I can’t log into kbin from wefwef so I can’t even access the stuff posted there.
Honestly the reason I’m even still continuing to even open lemmy other than to check its growth is because of how nice wefwef is.
Also, like other people have said, the jerking each other off about leaving Reddit has gotten unappealing. There’s only so much self congratulation I can take.
I think it’ll be a while before we have another one website to rule them all. I’ve actually not minded splitting my time up again between a few websites.
I hope I get to see the Kraken make it to the Stanley cup as quickly as the Knights made it. This year was awesome for us, so hopefully we only go up from here.
I’ll probably still append Google search with reddit until I can do so with Lemmy, Squabbles, or Tildes.
I’ve also been checking reddit to wait for the next round of Tildes invites and using it for one very specific education related subreddit that I don’t think would ever migrate somewhere else because it’s too niche, but other than that I’ll be avoiding the rest of Reddit.
I was reading a thread on here or Tildes yesterday and someone mentioned that what they think is happening is that the end goal is likely to have no actual mods an just have AI blanket moderators for the whole site removing the issue entirely. In all reality they’re probably right, and Reddit has probably been working on AI Mods for sometime now, so they will only have to do this until they can roll out the ai software. Which will probably be sooner rather than later.
Ah shit, you’re right.
Does anyone know what’s going on with Lemmy.ml? I can’t access it and keep getting 502 errors when I try to check it on browser. Hopefully they’re just working on their server because that was the instance where I had subscribed to stuff. It won’t be a big deal if they’re just gone, just an inconvenience.
If they are gone, already, it is somewhat worrying for the viability of Lemmy generally, because I don’t want to lose my subscriptions and comments every time a server shuts down. I’ve made an account on beehaw and lemmy.world as well under the same username, and I probably will make ones under other popular instances just in case.
Reddit alternative, it’s probably the most reddit-esque of the Rexxit alternatives.
I removed RIF from my home screen and put tildes and Lemmy on there instead.
When I got off of Facebook I ended up telling people that if they wanted to get ahold of me they could reach me either by texting me or messaging me on signal. If someone wants to talk to me, they will. I haven’t heard from some people I used to talk to over messenger, and that sucks but it also shows that they weren’t super interested in staying in touch with me, and those aren’t the people I want to talk to.
