I am a very patient Apollo refugee. It may take many weeks for some servers to adapt to the ever-growing influx and for new apps to squash bugs and build out functionality. My body is ready. This is now home.

Upvotes are still getting rejected. Replies hang so I cancel out and it turns out they did post.

That said, browsing is pretty snappy and smooth. I know the kinks will get worked out eventually. Thanks for the update.

Edit: This now appears resolved minutes later. All smooth on my end.

Zero surprise. Most people are living life on autopilot. They will continue to ignore major issues—like politics, climate change, and corporations mistreating people—to our collective long-term detriment. Anecdotally, I have friends who don’t give two fucks about such important things. Instead, they focus almost purely on MMA, reality TV, and stand-up comedy.

I mean, we all have hobbies but damn, pay attention and take a stand on serious issues that affect us all.

HA. HAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

That is all. That’s the comment.

If a corporation aims to purchase an instance, all the other instances would let them know they will vote to defederate it as soon as the purchase is finalized. That ought to make them change course.

I have been following the World News live threads religiously since mid-February 2022 and I’m really looking forward to something similar here in the Fediverse.

I don’t have a ton of modding experience but I did mod at r/Moscow for about a week in August 2022. A pro-Ukrainian Polish lad who used to live in Moscow forgot he was a mod there years ago. As it turned out, he was now the most senior mod so he banned all other mods and replaced them with pro-Ukrainian people, turning it into an anti-Putin sub. A subreddit coup, if you will. He said he aimed to use the sub as a way to lift the voices of all the Eastern Europe nations victimized by Russia over the years.

I flaired up to let the Muscovites know an American army vet was now a Moscow mod, permitting a flood of pro-UKR memes while removing pro-RU-invasion posts and comments. Russian jimmies were thoroughly rustled.

Reddit admins eventually received enough orc complaints to give the sub back to them. All good things must come to an end.

Anyway, despite my dearth of modding experience I’d like to help out as a mod. Cheers from Alaska.

Fucking yikes. Now this is yet another reason to protest en masse. God speed, French folk.

What species are these? They’re super adorable.

Probably for the best.

I may use Reddit through the browser on occasion while googling (but without logging in). My Reddit activity has dropped 99%. The 1% is lurking the World News thread to follow Ukraine war updates while logged out.

I’ve since successfully upvoted some comments and made replies without it hanging with the spinning circle. Not sure what the issue was but it all seems to be running smoothly now. Thanks.

Hello fellow Apollo refugee. Here’s to many happy years in our new home.

I’m almost 40 and still feel this way. My kids are 15 and 7.

Zero judgment. Hopefully it will help others then. Lol.

Thank you! I will miss Apollo but this new place seems cozy and full of potential. Reddit is in the rear view mirror. This is home now.

Lemmy gang gang.

Congrats in advance on the baby. They’re a lot of work but usually worth it in the long run.

This reminds me of what happened to YouTuber Kallmekris. Perhaps show your daughter this video Kris made about her experience with stalkers and peeping toms and major mental health struggles despite outwardly being a happy and popular YouTuber.

It do be like that.

The party of idiocracy and authoritarian traitors.

Welcome aboard! There’s now over 400,000 of us! (Source).

That’s intense.

Likewise!

Thought I had YouTube or some other streaming app open in the background when I viewed the image.

Good bot.

FORK. I made the same one I used with Reddit. Gol darn it.

I’ll make a new one, probably. I’m already a mod on this account so I’ll just dual wield.

Edit: Thanks, @CommunityLinkFixer.

That’s awesome. Good on him.

Thank you for all you do for the interwebs, fellow dad.

I’ve been testing both of those for the last ~48 hours. Hopefully a lot of people see your comment and test them out. I like them both but I prefer Memmy so far. Cheers.

ETA: I’ve also been testing Wefwef. It’s also enjoyable.

Some people go to law school or medical school in their 40’s. Some folks complete degrees in their 50’s or later. You’re never too old to pursue an education.

Yeah, I might just do that.

Glory to the Heroes!

Bookmarked. Thank you!

“Jimmy ate a big bowl of baked beans and then had vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.”

Aww. Adorable doggo.

As for your chocolate lab, I’m sorry for your loss.

Maybe. But then the instance they purchase is sealed off from the rest of the federation and a large portion of the users jump ship.

It’s on the front of my ‘all’ feed. Get to it!

I will miss Apollo. Though I do have to say, I’m really enjoying the Memmy app for Lemmy. It’s Apollo-esque.

Sure, that’s fair; there’s certainly a balance to be had.

Yep. Fwiw, I gave your post an upvote. Take care.

Free thinkers do tend to bash bigoted authoritarian-following thinkers. If mods removed all partisan comments in a political subreddit or instance community, there'd be a sharp drop in thread activity. I think it's fine having a mix of objective anaylsis and partisan opinion. I felt that way even back in my Republican days.

Edit: minor corrections.
