Good article. Just going to say it again here. Forget about killing Reddit. Just stop using it, and tell people about the alternatives. Enjoy this peaceful time in the fediverse while it lasts.
Yeah, that's a good point. Right now, Reddit, like Google, has to deal with a lot of issues due to the size of the userbase, like spammers putting a lot of effort into specifically targeting them. If the Fediverse gets big enough, that's gonna be a problem too, but at the moment, one nice thing is that there isn't a bunch of bots spamming it because it's more worthwhile to try to go after Reddit or whatever.
Might as well build some good memories now.
Another thing is - anyone who was there when Digg was still great knows — digg didn’t die overnight and there was no big movement. People started using Digg and Reddit simultaneously, and gradually moved away from Digg. There were platform changes etc, but Digg was already dying at that point. It happened organically.
Nothing you said refutes anything I said. My point was that reddit has value even if all the humans leave. Digg was sold, implying value, yes?
There will never be some end of the road, flipping the giant breaker on reddit's servers movie scene death. It will live on in some form no matter the outcome of the current drama.
Of course digg.com is a wildly different place today, the entire world is a different place today...
I don't know how to save the posts that really resonate and reground me outside of commenting on it. This is one of those posts. Thank you.
Agreed, we need a save feature!
There is one! At least on the mobile site, tapping the three dots on the right shows more options, one of them is to save.
Lenny seems a bit more feature complete than kbin at this time. We are still catching up :)
kbin has more features than lemmy, but of the features they both have, lemmy does them better
My mistake, I didn't even realise I was on a Kbin thread! It's fantastic that we're able to choose how we want to interact with the Fediverse like this
