That’s how it’s always worked??? The fediverse button goes to the canonical source

Maybe it didn't exist on posts but only comments? I see it on your comment but not the OP/thread.

Years and years of reddit getting more and more problematic and lower quality:

Reddit is dangerous. The admins are out of control. Humanity needs a viable alternative.

Because people expect to pay the same price they’ve been paying for twenty / thirty years with no drop in quality?

No. It appears that you didn't watch the video. It's being done purposely by the manufacturers.

Exact kind of troll, low-quality comment that poisons most of this website. As is the reply by FuglyDuck.

I have the exact same frustration. Reddit has been a complete mess for years. Unfortunately, Lemmy is only slightly better, and still seems to be astroturfed and filled with overconfident, unintelligent people who spread misinformation. I shared the link above on one of the /c/reddit lemmy communities and it was heavily astroturfed and then deleted by a mod for a ridiculous reason.

I posted in various other communities about a completely different topic and the only intelligent response I received was a PM.

I've blocked close to a hundred "fluff" (low-quality) communities on Lemmy, so my feed is highly curated. But the fluff/low-quality communities vastly outnumber the high-quality ones. One of the problems may simply be that intelligent people are rare, and are not spending their time on sites like Lemmy.

People keep making threads about this, and speculating that Lemmy might be astroturfed by people who don't want to see it succeed. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a viable solution. You would need extremely competent and active moderators, or we have to wait until AI becomes advanced enough to neutrally and accurately moderate.

This is one reason I opted to move my Reddit communities to a forum instead of Lemmy. The problem with that is small forums don't show up on search engines. Some forum software teams are joining the fediverse though, so that should help. But not all forums have intelligent people either, so it's definitely a struggle to find these days.

When I researched and tested some, I found the Presonus Eris E3.5 to be the best bang for the buck. The other close one was Mackie CR3, but the Presonus is better.

How about a basic Squarespace business website?

I looked at a bunch of options before and Wordpress seemed like one of the most promising: https://lemmy.world/post/12989654

I found Tuta to be lacking.

Search isn't working in firefox "your browser doesn't support data storage". As the search index needs to be stored in your browser, it does not work in private mode/incognito mode.

Free accounts get deleted if you do not log in for six months.

A good point, but this kind of atrocious moderation has existed for many years. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Reddit

The main thing that changed recently is that the admins are now as capricious as mods. The admins don't live up to a higher standard, they do whatever they want.

I've had worse experiences on lemmy.world subs so far. I switched to using the lemmy.ml equivalent due to it.

EDIT: A good example is the reply I got here: https://lemmy.world/comment/10323234. This !reddit@lemmy.world is full of pro-reddit trolls & shills, and the mods don't fight it. !reddit@lemmy.ml seems better so far.

I can't even access it on Edge.

We have to live in this world with all the brainrotted zombies so it is actually our problem too.

I agree and I think there's a solution, but no one seems to care https://lemmy.world/post/14389655.

This is horrible news. Reddit is a horrible website and only getting worse. OpenAI promoting them and using their garbage content to train their AI systems is alarming. This is so dystopian.

And of course it always leads back to money:

Sam Altman is a shareholder in Reddit

I made accounts on Mastodon and Blue Sky but most people still use Twitter, so if there's info you're looking for, or if you want to share things, you're forced to use what most people are using.

More info & discussion https://lemmy.world/post/15491742.

Do you have a citation for that? That sounds like disinformation. Compostable bags are made from plants not plastic. https://www.makeitmatter.com/faq

There are already compostable alternatives to plastic bags being sold in stores like Target. I heard one of the issues is that people/companies refuse to pay more for them.

More antibiotics is not the solution. We need to be moving away from antibiotics, and drastically decreasing their use/overuse.

• While antibiotic resistance gets all the attention, the damage being done to our host-native microbiomes is arguably as big a threat as climate change, as the damage compounds over generations, and once it's gone you can't get it back.

The destination part is the issue. That github link works very poorly. The rareeddit example is much better.

I did that and made my comments available on github

How? I've been looking for a way to host my data elsewhere.

I found this website https://www.rareddit.com, but I'm not sure how to do that, and I contacted the author and didn't get a response.
