Costa Rica is a beautiful and wonderful place. People are so warm and amazing to be around. Where did you meet this noble beast?

this is a great memetic analysis

The other thing is why this timeline? I think it’s because of the downgrade of the valuation on the IPO.
It seems like there are investors and other forces plus the absolutely awful communication and leadership from Huffman.
They are in this spot where people who don’t seem to understand Reddit are making decisions about it.
Even if this doesn’t “kill” reddit, the decision making has been very obviously hostile toward its users and future.

We will see! It is very possible that the high heat and the tropical storms in the pacific will trigger the monsoon flow. Everybody wash your cars ;)

100%, 12 year daily reddit user - feels like I’m out of a bad relationship. I moved all my third party apps off three weeks ago and have replaced all my time with Lemmy and the Fediverse.
I didn’t realize how poorly the experience had degraded - scrolling content mindlessly, most interactions were dull and sometimes weirdly antagonistic.
Conversely, my experience on Lemmy has been interesting content with more depth, connecting with people in a warm and welcoming way. I don’t expect this to become reddit - I wouldn’t really want it to.
I am excited for a future here as the third party apps are removed last this week and we can start a new adventure together.
BEANS! BEANS!
the iOS app experience is clean, it’s still less functional than desktop but I feel like that’s expected.
Thank you for everything that you do!

Beehaw is a community that wants to create a specific type of experience for its users, it wants to create a safer space and has stricter rules.
I think it’s personally a non-issue that people get riled up about. They’ve temporarily defederated from lemmy.world because of the large spikes in new users and wanting to have the moderation tools necessary to handle that while keeping their community the way they want it.
There is a subset of new Lemmy users who think this experience needs to be Reddit 2.0, that it needs to be perfect and totally smooth for new users, or else it will fail?
Personally, I don’t agree. I don’t want Lemmy to be Reddit at all. In the last month, I’ve found that I didn’t realize just how bad my Reddit experience had become. I’m okay with the experience being a little rough around the edges here and adjusting together. It has become obvious based on how good my interactions were here. How solid and interesting the content was. I’m not fiending for my specific subreddits, I’m good to move on and find new areas to focus on the internet.
I have a separate account for Beehaw, all the iOS apps already have way way better functionality than the Reddit official app, I can seamlessly switch between accounts. It’s been absolutely amazing to see how much this site and experience has evolved in one month. I’m super excited for the future here.
Could not agree more with you. This has been a very positive experience and has really add transitioning away from Reddit a smooth experience
bro, did Jurassic Park teach us nothing? when you gotta go, you gotta go!

do you have any more info on how to get started with this? I have no desire to go back but would love to know how to loosely lurk like that
If you haven’t tried Mlem the beta ios app yet, you should. It’s still definitely a new concept and totally does feel like the early days but I have enjoyed the app a lot.
Couldn’t agree more, we need to continue to attract the kind of people who would really be able to help grow this kind of community, so if you have friends you think would like this, try talking to them.
Drop a couple bucks into support the admins and servers - think about streaming services you pay for and use less. $5-10/month to donate to a service you are using daily is pretty cheap considering.
