So NOW they do a poll. Far out.

So what's the plan if we return to normal, which seems like it's going to happen? Personally I'd probably be in favour to return to reddit
Edit: it's more important to me that we stick together though. Yall are the reason I'm here.

I'm staying, even though my curiosity gets the better of me and I go peek occasionally. It's got a completely different vibe now and it isn't welcoming like this place is. I like it here.

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago

I'm sticking around here until after June 30 then I'll make a decision. Most likely I'll stay here though.

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

the chaotic communication and the lemmy links removal have left a rather bad taste

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Some of the posters are angry, some are confused and the rest are carrying on like everything's back to normal. It should never have been this way.

[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

I will stay, and I'd love if more people came over. It may work differently and be a bit buggy, but I can excuse it because it is still being developed and worked out whilst accommodating an influx of users.

@PeelerSheila @CEOofmyhouse56

I'm not a regular of r/melbourne but used to lurk a bit. I'm a fairly committed Mastodon user, and testing to see how it works with posting from Mastodon to lemmy. Might find it too spammy, or has other issues, but am heartened to see subreddits making a good go of decamping, potentially permanently.

[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I'm kind of interested in mastodon but haven't expanded on that yet. I used to like the "everything all under one roof" kind of approach of Reddit, but I've grown to dislike it immensely. I'm finding that sometimes convenience is actually an inconvenience when it comes to real conversation or fact finding. I guess I'm still working it all out. But I like tinkering around with different modes of communication and learning.

[-] kudra@aus.social 2 points 2 years ago

@PeelerSheila I think that's the beauty of the Fediverse, you can choose which way you prefer to view / interact, with many separate accounts eg treating lemmy/kbin like it's Reddit, and Mastodon like it's Twitter, or having one account to do everything. Or combine some things, but not others. I have several Mastodon accounts but have defaulted to using mainly one, and a Pixelfed account when I want to post public pictures a la Instagram.

I will probably not continue following this community from this account as it's quite high traffic, but I wanted it see if it interacted as expected, and so far it's doing all the things I was hoping it would.

aaand it's gone

[-] useless_modern_god@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

Deleted for “technical difficulties” my guess is because you could see who’s voting what. (Or maybe they actually want that)

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

I followed the instructions to vote under the comment but I received a message to vote under the post.

[-] useless_modern_god@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

I saw someone actually vote for more Florida shitposting haha.

[-] bull@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

I was one of them lol

I was voting for that/marking the sub NSFW so reddit gets no ad money

[-] useless_modern_god@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

I’m undecided still. I’m leaning toward full blackout

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

the only "full" blackout option is until July 1.

[-] useless_modern_god@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I know. That’s ok. I believe it would have more impact on ad dollars. The mods would get replaced anyway with anything other than choice #2

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

yeah i want NSFW

[-] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Thats hilarious

[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Can anyone give me details? What were the options?

[-] bull@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago

It was something like:

  1. Mark the sub as private until 1st of July
  2. Make the sub normal and unrestricted
  3. I forget this option, rolling blackouts maybe
  4. More malicious compliance, making it so you can only post about loud bangs, florida posts, etc and marking the sub as nsfw so reddit gets no ad money from it
[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Oh dear! Thanks for that.

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

blackout, open, blackout a couple days a week, malicious compliance

[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Huh. Thanks for that. Odd options, some of them.
