It’s fun to see them getting it from all angles, but the users really should just get out of there since it’s obvious nothing is going to significantly change. The loudest and most effective protest of all is to just leave- but people don’t like the effort it takes to change something in your routine like which site you doomscroll through.

The first couple days after I deleted RiF, I would just pick up my phone and stare at it blankly for a few seconds.

[-] Buelldozer@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 year ago

I had to retrain my brain to open Connect instead of searching for RiF.

[-] EternalWarBear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm bouncing around between apps. Connect was good and using Thunder right now. Joey for Reddit was my go to; I just put the Lemmy apps where it was.

I'm really enjoying "Liftoff". It's super clean.

[-] seananigans@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the suggestion, I have been using wefwef, now renamed voyager, and while I am appreciating it I cannot move past that it’s a web app.

[-] anlumo@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

For me, a few communities are just still there and aren’t looking like they’re going to move somewhere else. For the rest I’m already here.

I know it's unpopular, but I would like news related to Reddit to be kept on Reddit specific communities

I know it’s unpopular, but I’d like unpopular opinions to be kept on unpopular opinion specific communities 😁

Keep my bubble clean! /s

you'd like all other communities to be echo chambers?

[-] HolidayGreed@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

No, I was employing sarcasm to make the same point that you are.

[-] TheHighRoad@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

Eh, it's tech news.

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

Is it though? I don't mind these posts being here but, just because something takes place on the internet doesn't feel like it should qualify as "tech news" these days. Everything is on the internet and usually the tech underlying the goings-on isn't really germane.

At least they spark a discussion of using new tech when posted to a tech news site but it does feel a bit off topic sometimes.

[-] TheHighRoad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't mind keeping up with the goings on over there, but I can understand your point. I'm good as long as it doesn't feel like the main talking point on Lemmy like it did there for a minute a few weeks back.

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I'd argue Reddit (and Twitter) aren't tech firms, they're social media / advertising (depending on how liberal you want to be with that term) firms.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 year ago

Same, I'd also like every article abput Facebook/Meta to be kept on a specific community, every Twitter article to be kept on that specific community. Every incident with a tech company should be kept within that community. Might as well just shut down this community and have specific communites for every different technology: Phones, Tablets, Computers, Chat AI, Art AI, Cars, Trucks, Planes, Android, iOS, Windows OS, Quantum Computing, Virtual Reality, Augumented Reality, and so on. Each topic should just have their own community instead of simply having a general Technology community

[-] Dankry@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You should start your own tech oriented community then. That way you’ll be able to implement all the arbitrary rules over what constitutes “tech news” that you like.

[-] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This! Mods, please listen!

[-] Docus@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

You want communities for related news to meta, twitter, tesla as well? Where do you draw the line?
