A/S/L?

Hello fellow !iowa@midwest.social – I am currently enjoying a pop for which the west coast just doesn’t understand.

I actually feel more relieved. It has become toxic and dominated by bots. As soon as a real person posts anything, it’s immediately down voted

I’m enjoying Lemmy much more. Reminds me of the internet of old.

Thank you…great background I wasnt aware of.

I understand the multiple instances, but 100% agree name collisions across instances will be the biggest source of confusion. Will be curious how Lemmy tech stack and communities in general work to make this easy-ish for users.

Interesting…they probably have financial models showing how much more they’ll make and assume very few folks will actually quit using Reddit. Time will tell, but know I am already enjoying Lemmy more than Reddit at this point.

Probably an unpopular opinion…but I do get Reddit’s perspective that these apps are profiting without sharing back to Reddit who bears the costs and built the community. I wonder what conversations were had to find an equitable point for both sides and what that looked like.

I use Hermit to install the mobile page as an app…works pretty well.
