Same thought. Try kagi search. Search is better, I believe they use their own indexing, and you’re their customer, not the product, so there’s incentive to providing good service to customer instead of being treated like cattle and it shows!
I have died of dysentery.
Well if it isn’t Abe Simpson.
Mine is 19. Nearly lost him a few weeks ago to kidney disease. He’s on special diet now and doing better. I can’t help feeling like we would have caught it earlier with regular checkups. He’s old, deaf, and has an insatiable appetite, I just hope the quality of life he has in his final years are worth it to him.
I feel like they’re being disingenuous. Lots of what-aboutisms and moving goal posts and ignoring the issues that got us to needing right to repair laws in the first place, namely Apple and John Deere and all the copy cats, but also with the goal of reducing e-waste.
Why the switch? What are you looking about nixOS? (just curious, i haven’t heard much of nixOS)
Do you do the same with your DE? lol
Same. Was even using it on some servers years ago. I don’t anymore, but on CentOS on servers, then Alma Linux after the centos8 debacle, but now after recent red hat debacle it seems I’ll be replacing server OSs with debian. Arch all the way tho on workstations and laptops.
For sure! I only meant that it felt a little gatekeepy, was not intending to imply that you were. I share your worries.
This is a good question! I don’t know enough to answer correctly, but answering wrong will likely have someone correcting me ;)
I believe each instance will have local posts/comments, e.g. a local version of /l/gaming but there are 3 methods of viewing posts: local instance (all communities/posts for users on that instance), all (all communities on all instances), or communities (all instances, but specific community). I suspect filtering will improve to bring better ways of filtering and sorting, but it’s going to be dependent on the lemmy app, mobile app, and potentially custom mods on an instance.
I feel like I was noticing this on the main site as well. I’d be surprised if they hadn’t been changing the algorithms to spoon feed us specific content, but there’s also a very high likelihood that the overall feel of the content has changed after swaths of people migrated out, and then I’m sure I have a bias against Reddit now as well :P
I share your sentiment up until the last bit which feels like gate keeping. There are enough healthy discussions coming from a lot of people outside of that demographic to make me want them to follow us here. Plus it’s bad for reddit if they do. I worry about the negative effects, where quick and easy comments that are easier to digest get upvoted over well researched and thoughtful comments. But I’m hopeful that we can learn from the past and develop tools to better incentivize people to write thoughtful comments. I think the fediverse has the potential to help us avoid dumbification of content, but it also brings greater risk of creating echo chambers.
🤣
