YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

Why YSK: The term "Genuine Leather" is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

This really is a perfect replacement for reddit, we even have the same reposted fun facts

You can leave reddit, but you can't leave the redditor on the inside.

Which is perfect. Love the redditor, hate the Reddit. Isn’t that what the church of “insert clever name here”

I mean, reposting things that were on Reddit before would be a good way to get more content on here

jesus christ

Reddit does it with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr...

Some of the bigger communities is literally just screenshots of what people say other places.

It would be pretty funny to see an instance that just pulls posts from subs and posts them to Lemmy. Not direct links to reddit, just copy the link/pic/video

fair point.. yeah now that you mention it, a lot of the shit I used to see on reddit was from "curated tumbler", " white people twitter" etc..

I'm glad I left reddit, the api cluster fuck and associated protests (which I joined w/ my rinky dink tiny sub) came at the perfect time to give me the shove out the door I needed. I was spending 3, 4, 5 hours of my day reading the most inane bullshit.

I'm at extremely high risk of it happening again with lemmy, but I like to think it'll never take on the endlessly churning sewer-exit pipe amount of "content" that reddit had with its however many millions of users.
