Well said. It’s easy to say “let that shithole burn” for me, as a person who just used it for entertainment and mild education. But there are integral support communities that I hate seeing suffer.

Honestly during the day I personally find light mode easier to read. I understand this seems uncommon but the contrast “feels” better. I use the “True Tone” on iPhone though which makes the whites not so stark and blinding.

A leap forward from the Switch, yes. I think they were saying the “Switch 2” will not be a leap forward in the general sense of what’s available.

Dang, that kinda sucks. If he was able to still have a going away message it could link to donations to help cover the refunds.

Unless something is brand new (which should get its own like-color wash to knock out any loose dyes), wash on cold water and you’ll be fine tbh. If your whites start to get a little dingy then you could do a separate whites bleach wash every once in a while. But honestly I don’t have enough clothes to be separating them, it would result in very small laundry loads which feel like a waste of time and resources (water, energy, etc).

I don’t think it’s all that egregious on joke communities, it was mostly really frustrating when comments—especially top level ones!!—were jokes/memes on serious discussion topics or something that just needed an answer.

I don’t think any apps are going to be able to afford to pay. They purposefully priced it too high to be viable. At the start there was a few who seemed to tentatively say they’d look in to it, but every app I’ve seen now has done the math a realized there’s just no way.

You do you. Whatever works best for your life imo. I will no longer browse Reddit, I will never download their app. If a question I google seems to ONLY have a solution on Reddit, I will only view it on browser (old.Reddit, ad blocker, logged out).

I much prefer kbin to lemmy so I really appreciate you putting in the effort! I put myself on the alpha list and I look forward to it. :)

Really not a big deal, but the fight to say something witty/funny and unhelpful on more serious/non joke threads. Like not relevant or useful. I hated having to scroll multiple comment threads to find the answer/explanation for something. Related, but also the circle jerk or the same “in jokes” that get repeated over and over verbatim.

Yeah I’m on kbin and I’ve been getting Lemmy stuff for a few days now.

Yeah, it was hard enough for me to walk away from my small hobby subs as a user, I can’t imagine the difficulty as a moderator. They’re usually some of the most invested in the subject to want to become a moderator in the first place, and then they’ve devoted all the time and energy to it for the love of the community. I don’t envy them either.
