Well, there’s always whitespace!

What if I aim low? Like, “please include the letter c in your next commit”? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!

And, they’ll all still be wrong!

I have a few ideas on how to clog my bowels. I really can’t wait to contribute!!!

Ok, now let’s ask the 99.9% of Redditors that aren’t here. You take the left 25,000,000, I’ll take the right, meet back in 5. Go!

edit: Oh man, I’m out of breath. We might need help. How about every single lemmy user helps us! That’s only about 1,300 people we each have to ask! Well, 1,299 for me. At 4 seconds each, that’s should only be about 1.5 hours. See you all soon!

Taking away popular apps to a social network that doesn’t have any yet? What?

We would have to see the user stats related to reddit app usage, to talk in an informed way about this, along with the assumption that reddit doesn’t improve their app, which will probably be forced onto spez.

edit: Here’s a quick litmus test. How many times have you gone to reddit today?

I don’t know, I was there in the beginning. I think it died because it had no real content, compared to reddit. And, all anyone talked about was reddit, or reposted stuff from reddit, just like we’re seeing here. I think this might stick a bit better because reddit is way bigger than it was back then, so even if the same super small % of users came over, it would still be quite a bit more content.

For comparison of how negligible all the Lemmy fediverse is, there are ~40k active users this month. Reddit has over 50 million active users. So, that’s around 0.1% of reddit users. Literally 99.9% of reddit are not here.

I think it’s probably doomed. It’ll never overtake reddit. But, it’ll be a nice, quiet, alternative.

And, of course it’s a Florida man.

Now playing, Cardiology Top Hits:

• “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion
• “Heart of Glass” by Blondie
• “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus
• “Heart Attack” by Demi Lovato
• “Un-break My Heart” by Toni Braxton
• “Heartless” by Kanye West
• “Dead and Gone” - T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake

I think jokes and empathy can be somewhat orthogonal. In fact, I think any stable society/org requires a court jester. But dang, the amount of dehumanization, lack of empathy, and sometimes joy, I see is really scary. There are some angry, empty, people on the internet, that I hope to never meet in real life.

Lots of reddit will find themselves unwelcome in Lemmy and by various instance admins.

Do you have some examples?

near as much about republicans

That’s a pretty poor metric/goal, but you’re obviously right. But, dehumanizing large swaths of strangers is bad. That template, used by anyone, is bad. Full stop.

Part of the issue is that the “nazi” line is being placed haphazardly. For example, this comment will be enough for some people to put me on the “nazi” side, without knowing anything about me.

To be fair, I see this said about republicans, and even center/independents, all the time. Dehumanizing is never good.

If I win, I’m going to double my keys and give them to the next person.

So -8% at start, +8% at end. Surprisingly close still.

It would be super nice if all Reddit posts stayed on Reddit.

That’s completely unrealistic.

Did you do performance comparisons between Wayland and X11, or is your metric subjective?
