You don’t buy a heavily liberal swayed network and flip it heavily conservative. All of your advertisers will have an issue and it takes a long time to bring in new advertisers that like the new direction.

That’s like buying Truth Social and banning Trump.

P.S. I can’t stand Twitter. Never liked it, never will.

That’s not really my place to say something like that. When you spend literal YEARS building something on someone else’s platform, it takes a bit of time to let go.

I personally had a hard time adjusting to the idea of losing Apollo, an app I spent thousands of hours using. I can’t imagine having to let go of a massive community you’ve worked so hard to build.

I think they are trying to come up with an exit strategy to another platform. They like Lemmy World but don’t like the fractured idea of each instance having the same name for a community.

In reality, it’s just an excuse to put off the inevitable. They really don’t want to rebuild, so it’s all or nothing and a tough thing to let go.

Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed Reddit prior to the API-apocalypse. I appreciated all of you guys and gals over there keeping things structured and orderly. I came from Slashdot to Digg to Reddit and now Lemmy. Really enjoying it here but there’s always that thought in the back of my mind of hoping it doesn’t grow to the scope of Reddit.

Right now, we seem to have a lot of technical folks who contribute. Far less fighting and drama. It’s been nice. lol

Do you use uBlock? I noticed this at least a week ago when trying to use the website to login on my computer and it was uBlock that caused the login issue.

A few larger moderators I know personally are saying they aren’t enjoying the new Reddit experience and at least one says they plan to leave within a few months.

What really isn’t being talked about is the fractured trust. None of them feel they are maintaining their own community anymore. They feel like they are maintaining a subreddit for Reddit’s profit ambitions. That’s a huge distinction.

The other side is just being forced to moderate via the website or their trash app. They hate the experience now. If you were a mobile-only moderator, you hate it now, almost guaranteed.

Then the bot detection network and everything else shutting down is making the free service they provide feel more and more like a job vs “for the good feeling of building a community.”

Reddit won’t die overnight but it will continue to decay with users slowly making their exit to other platforms.

So now people understand housing inflation has repercussions to literally everyone. Landlords that don’t necessarily care about their unrealized profit in their holdings still have to pay an ever-increasing amount of property tax, homeowners insurance and more. Repairs are also double.

All of this flows to the renter.

You also can’t control the natural rent increases without controlling the reasons WHY it occurred in the first place. If these issues aren’t taken care of, an intervention is just a temporary bandaid.

Topics like this remind me of the pre-Google era. If Google can’t see the damage they’ve done, they deserve to vanish like the ones they’ve vanished in the early years.

If I pay to see a movie in an IMAX theater, this is the film being loaded? Is this normal for IMAX?

I’ve been using this font in my stuff for years.

I just miss the rich text editing that Lemmy offers. I don’t care to learn the code or type it out. Eventually I’d like Voyager to get an app in the App Store as an option to build in these extra features.

One of my favorite things is all the biking paths made available. Such picturesque views.

Oh yeah! News sites come out and say a reward system is found in the app code and a day later, they come out and say they are taking away features without really giving a replacement.

Another fantastic decision among all other fantastic decisions… if your goal is to destroy the brand.

I think we’ve established that Elon, in fact, cannot run Twitter better if he owned it.

Yep. Then you find Voyager, vger.app where you install that website as an app, now you get a similar Apollo experience from the “old Reddit days.” That’s what I’ve used since day 3.

Climate, weather, housing, culture, religion, amenities and much more are all completely different from northern to southern Utah. It’s similar to Southern/Northern California, separated by vast space, it’s the same type thing in Utah, just in a smaller state.

On most social media, you’ll find groups and communities that are Utah and then Southern Utah because the main Utah groups are overtaken by Northern Utah content.

And by the way, Reddit has city-based subreddits for Utah. Over time, Lemmy / Fediverse will get more and more granular with stuff like this.

I’m of the opinion I don’t want critical mass. The experience right now with the most technical savvy people in most communities has been my favorite part.

Let’s leave the combative, competitive and bot-riddled users over there. lol

This has been awesome. I’m finding out about communities I’ve never known about but starting with Lemmy to follow. Thanks Reddit for making all of the worst decisions all at once.

I REALLY like it here the most. After a couple weeks, I’m barely missing it over there (I really miss Apollo, not Reddit, thank you to Voyager for providing a similar experience).

Lemmy has completely solved my need for news content when bored. I no longer use Reddit.

Imagine an environment where users are getting paid for gold award content and the moderators are still unpaid for all the work they do behind the scenes.

With bot detection going away, I can see programmers making several bots to manipulate this to make money, and lots of it, through many accounts.

Meanwhile, yikes, they are totally forgetting the real users. I’m a few months, there will be at least a 50% chance that comment or post you are replying to is a bot.

Install Voyager app. Go to settings > Migrate Reddit and follow the instructions there. It’ll have you go to your Reddit account, copy a multireddit link which will then allow you to search if there’s communities here in the same name.
