I tried to upload the gif of the outdoorsman smiling and nodding but it broke. Loved this reply lmao
He can’t respond because he’s too busy painting over all the light fixtures and power outlets
I’m referring to this link that showed the active monthly users for lemmy as a whole across all instances trending downward
Yeah I think it’s pretty clear at this point that 99% of reddit users don’t care about this, which is why reddit continues to thrive while lemmy is facing lower and lower user numbers
I’ve made posts both on this account and a different account from a different instance in the more niche communities that I’d like to see move here and got zero up votes, downvotes, or replies. I’ve even messaged the mods of those communities to discuss ways to get more traffic and got no response.
I’m willing to keep trying, but the majority of users aren’t and that’s something that Lemmy is going to have to overcome
I’ve had to go ham on blocking entire communities on here with Sync’s filter feature. Reddit at least has so many niche, active communities that you can actively avoid the /r/Europes and the /r/conservatives. With Lemmy, if I scroll through my subscribed communities, I get the same posts for days on end - if I scroll through everything, I get a bunch of Linux and FOSS circle jerks as well as “Tankies”, “Anti-Tankies”, commies, fuckcar communities that aren’t even realistic with the timescale they want things changes, and even more recently some posts from conservative communities.
Like, don’t get me wrong - I refuse to go back to reddit, but I’ve definitely had the desire to just quit using Lemmy because it feels like there isn’t much here for me.
Yeah I’m a programmer at a community college and this is like us. Although we don’t have any apps, we have different web apps that we use. My current job is trying to use the APIs for each of them to try and build cards in one central web app that bring in the functionality from the other web apps to minimize the amount of time you spend going from web app to web app
We must’ve had different experiences with it. I also wouldn’t say it’s better than almost anything you can make at home with an automatic coffee maker - just a lot of it. I’d take it over any of the more common supermarket brands of coffee grounds (Folgers, Starbucks, Great Value, Dunkin, Peet’s, and Maxwell House in particular)
You can usually get it for a dollar with the app and it’s better than a lot of the stuff that can be made at home with an automatic coffee maker. I used to get it a lot until I could afford to support smaller coffee places
Literally nobody in this thread is blaming Muslims. Please stop with the knee jerk reactions.
I’ve literally never met anybody that used Wordpad, whereas I know a lot of tech normies that’ll use MS Paint for quick memes and things
Completely agreed. I don’t think anybody is out here saying “teach people to defend themselves but don’t even bother trying to teach people not to assault others”
Also if your only solution is “everybody SHOULD do X”, you’ve already failed. Reality is that we are so far away from everybody doing the “right” thing that refusing to take any basic precautions is just setting somebody up to get hurt.
It’s like telling people they don’t need to bring bear spray on hikes in a bear infested wood because the bears shouldn’t try to hurt you.
Yeah… too bad you can’t teach other people’s sons not to be rapists - they’re the ones you’ve gotta worry about
To clarify, I 100% think this bill is bad for adults, privacy, and the internet.
However…
“The end result of this law would likely be that a huge number of young people—particularly the most vulnerable—would lose access to social media platforms, which can play a critical role for young people in accessing resources and support in a wide variety of circumstances”
Social Media has a documented, well-studied, negative effect on young people’s mental health. We really could and should be doing more as a society to prevent young people from using it / pressuring social media platforms to fix the inherently negative issues with social media. This bill isn’t the answer, but acting like kids and teens should have free reign of web apps that are known to be bad for them isn’t the answer either.
How exactly does one build a “better one” that doesn’t automatically get included in the coverage of bills like this?
We have different reasons for getting the hell away from reddit. I came to lemmy because reddit killed sync. I paid like $3 for Sync in 2014 and used it every day until Reddit killed it without seeing a single ad. So, not only do I disagree with Sync for Lemmy missing the point of getting away with reddit, but I also disagree with the notion that sink for Lemmy is in any way bad for having an ad - supported tier when you can pay a negligible amount of money ( $20 in 2023 ) and never see an ad again for the entire lifetime of the app.
Legit. I paid $3 for Sync back in 2014 and used it daily for nine years.
They’re already pushing for more and more current gen games to be released on the iPhone 15. It’s pretty much there.
