Actually pretty good value. Might actually pick it up even though I'm not sure if I ever have enough time to play any of these. As a kid I had no money to buy games and as adult I have no time to play games.
Rip RIF, you served us well all these years.
I'm sort of motivated by laziness. When RIF stopped working I thought oh well, guess I just use Lemmy on my phone.
When old.reddit stops working some day I do the same for the desktop. Reddit is literally driving me away. How badly can they fuck up? The modern reddit they are trying to push on us is not the reddit I signed up for 11 years ago.
At fundamental level it's capitalism, but with some social policies that make it more friendly to humans.
The crucial thing that defines capitalism is profit. Basically as long as there are leeches that take advantage of the economic upperhand they have to leech of workers income, it's capitalism. This can be frankly pretty complicated and theoretical when you really go into the definitions of work, value, profit, etc. and what it means in practice.
Marxists sometimes make these ideas simpler than they are, and that's how we end up with solutions that don't work in practice. They tend to only focus on the material conditions, power and exploitation, but we need theories based on increased psychological understanding to find novel solutions imo.
RIF is now working for me for some reason. Did they already cave in? Anyone else?
First thing I experienced was disappointment surprisingly.
Persujen kannattajat eivät välitä natsisympatiasta. Heille se on todennäköisesti vain plussaa. Kokoomus ja Kristilliset sen sijaan päättivät kahmia lokaa niskaansa oikein urakalla. Erityisen kiusallinen tämä on Kokoomuksen liberaalisiivelle, pääministeri mukaanlukien. Ne kolme Kokoomuksen edustajaa jotka jättivät äänestämättä voivat nyt huokaista helpotuksesta kun väistivät tämän luodin.
Would work better if it's both way. Bot bridging all the content from reddit to lemmy and vice versa. It might work for some smaller subreddits at least.
I'll buy the Dock if it's on sale. I might actually buy it anyways but might as well wait one day to see if I can save a few bucks.
I've put off buying it since honestly it feels a bit overpriced since you can get a hub that does pretty much the same job for 20€.

Concept is great, but there's a big usability issue (BE: 0.17.4) that quickly needs fixing. When you browse the main index, new posts just pop up and it messes up whatever you were reading and also closes images.
It's great news when the social media oligopoly shoots themselves in the foot.
So far I've tried:
Out of all the different federated solutions I've tried, I believe this one has the best chance to hit big. Diaspora didn't work because the network effect is too strong with Facebook. Same with Matrix and Mastodon. But reddit is pseudoanonymous platform, you are not here because of some specific people. It's actually somewhat a benefit when there are less people and you have more room for people to see the content you put out. And the quality of the discussion can be better when there are fewer people.
It's still likely that everyone will just go back to reddit but we have a good chance here. The Lemmy UI is actually better and more snappy for someone who has used old reddit all this time.
Suhtaudun siihen ihan positiivisena asiana jos täällä on hieman vähemmän sisältöä. Ei tule tapettua niin paljoa aikaa tähän alustaan, mitä nykyään palaa reddittiin.
It's funny that reddit basically just blocked us from contributing. You can still use RIF to lurk.
Sometimes I forget and try to comment or upvote. After quick disappointment I actually feel relieved that I can't interact with reddit. It's weird.
