I don’t think this is the death of Reddit, but I do think it’s the dumbing down of Reddit. A lot of the power users that spend all day interacting and posting are going to be the ones leaving. Reddit will turn from a social community back into a simple link aggregator with people posting articles and having the same discussions over and over again in the comments.
This is a huge frustration, at least format it intuitively for phones since you’re actively encouraging their use.
Like that Hyundai concept? That thing was rad. I’d drive the hell out of an EV that looks like an AE86.
My instance gets an occasional hiccup but usually reloading the page gets me through. Even if Lemmy doesn’t end up with a Reddit-sized userbase I’m excited to see what it becomes. All-in-all feeling pretty positive about it.
r/edc and r/pens would be cool too.
Already made !paintball@midwest.social , here’s hoping some players start floating in.
I brought !paintball@midwest.social over, although I’m not expecting a large turnout. While they are participating in the blackout, I don’t know that many will seek an alternative and will probably just want to play more…
