Good, we need an alternative to Reddit that isn't manipulated

That's good. A lot of communities have been slowly dying 🫤 I've been using Mastodon more and more but it's not the same.

It's winter break for me so that's why I'm going to use it a bit more.

Worrying that this is the CHUD invasion from parler or one of those pretend places to data mine hate and sell powdered eggs, lead pills and gold to mostly helpless idiots. Some comment sections have gotten noticeable shittier and less civil lately. We don't need growth for the sake of it.

I can't stand reddit's god-awful user interface.

Both old and new reddit suck balls. I can't believe someone got paid for that.

You know what's actually cool?

While many suppose that majority just moved back, they didn't! Less than half of users actually left Lemmy after an exodus, and now about what, 95% of users?..are actually from there.

dev'd an online course web app and website for a community college. users/activity was very cyclic. could see the hits going up every Sunday night as students tried to catch up before Monday class. usage normally dropped around weekends/holidays. maybe similar surges depending on time of day.

One issue with Reddit was the extreme even obsesive moderation level. It was totally frustrating to post stuff in some subs, lot of new people just avoid it even experienced users like me.

I was having difficulty with servers being down and nothing loading when I first deleted Reddit. Things finally seem stable so I've been a lot more active.

The Lemming went unto spez and said, "let my people go!"
