Maybe more of a sunk cost fallacy? They've invested hours of labor in maintaining their community, to suddenly give that up and let some bootlicker take over feels like admitting all that work was for nothing.
That kind of dedication would be welcome over here though! I hope they find their way here.
For me it's not about the immediate abilities to use Reddit/Lemmy, is about my projected ability.
Yeah the Reddit app sucks and it's slightly better than the iOS apps for Lemmy... for now.
Reddit has had years to improve their app and has not made much, if any effort to do so.
Meanwhile I've had two updates today to my beta iOS app for Lemmy, fixing bugs before I've even had a chance to find them and enabling new features literally every day.
The future only looks promising for one of these platforms, and that's why I'd rather weather Lemmy's growing pains instead of endure Reddit's stagnant state.
I've never used Instagram before but I would like to start posting photos, however the vibe I'm getting from Pixelfed is this is a medium for photography art. I'm learning to facet gemstones and thought it would be cool to do photos of my gems that I cut to show my talent progress. Would that kind of non-photography art fit in on Pixelfed?
It feels like if Twitter and LinkedIn had a baby, it would be Threads.
How utterly depressing.
Does the Fediverse have a similar feature, where communities/magazines can be private and only allow users to view/subscribe to them with mod approval?
I know this is possible with instances, but that seems impractical since the account would be defederated from the entire Fediverse to maintain privacy.
Thank you for the reassurance, I think I will share my hobby once I start! Maybe someday you'll see a gemstone on your feed and recognize my name. 😄
Sauce? I'm in Texas and I just tried to access it hoping to collect a screenshot of the blocked message to share with you all, but instead I now need eye bleach.
Edit: OP your comment is misinformed. PornHub just blocked Mississippi and Virginia. Texas will be blocked on September 1, and Montana in January, but they are not blocked right now. Hopefully this info saves others from surprise penis.
Thank you! You're soothing my nervousness quite a bit lol, I'll take the plunge and start posting as soon as I have my equipment!
This isn't going to happen in the future.
Bots are already engaging with users and pushing narratives. The percentage of Reddit that is inorganic is probably higher than most people would expect.
Hey, smoked salmon has its place in the culinary world too!
I learned the hard way that baked potatoes can explode if you don't poke holes in them. I must've baked a hundred before I learned this lesson, I guess I was lucky?
Some clever coding genius should host an instance for a bot they make that stays federated with everyone, and the entire point of the bot is to crawl across posts and anyone posting from Threads gets a nice public reply about why Threads is a toxic instance and they should switch to a non-Meta one immediately.
