Sad that they never learn their lesson and we're all stuck in this cycle of:

Rich person buys power > Makes life a living hell for the people > The people revolt and burn everything down > Rich person (hopefully) gets dragged through the streets and has a public medieval-like execution as an example > Peace with rules in place to prevent that from happening again > People generations later get lax > Another rich prick comes along and exploits the weakness of the system and meekness of the people.

And round and round we go. As they say, "Strong men create times of peace, weak men create times of conflict".

That's great to know, and will try to compare. Can't say I had yet trouble with Jerboa, but then again only today did I start to nuke my reddit history - initiating the full switch to Lemmy. Any info is always welcome, stay well! 😁

Thank you so much for your perspective. I'll be sure to check them out as soon as I can, and as I increasingly integrate myself in this platform. Cheers! 😄

Thank you for clarifying! Now I understand a bit more how it works. 😁

Hi! Great to be here, thanks! First Lemmy post ever, too.

I'm sure I'm not the first one in this Reddit exodus to mention this, but can we assume maybe there's an interest in refining the Lemmy experience to be a bit more streamlined and user friendly? As in, simpler to navigate and less dependent in tech-saviness.

For example, I had some confusion just to create my Lemmy account, or even download and sign-in to the Jerboa app. There's many Lemmy related pages and apps, which can be quite confusing and discouraging for most users showing interest in moving over. And I do consider myself tech-savvy, so I'm sure most people I know would just give up on it.

I know this is a somewhat sudden and unexpected move, and the last thing I want is to create unnecessary pressure on Lemmy, as these things take time, naturally.

Anyways I wish you well, and lots of success. I'll try my best and make this platform my main reddit-like one.
