Keep fighting the good fight boys. It’s only a matter of time until either of these websites surpass all the others. Is there a way I can donate?

It may be because I am high, but this got me.
Yes I think the point is the entirely missed by others.
Why does this post feel so strongly like capitalist propaganda.
What you said makes zero sense. Neoliberalism is distinctly NOT a left wing ideology. To even try and associate them makes you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Excellent news good job.
Fantastic, keep up the good work everyone!
Only Reddit neoliberal crybabies whine about “tankies”. From what I can see it’s mostly baseless accusations/smear campaign because as I said, they are crybabies who cannot deal with the real world. It’s an open source project. His views are not relevant to the discussion and not particularly that uncommon outside of isolated Westerner bubbles. Spez the Reddit CEO was the moderator of a paedophile subreddit (jailbait) but nobody is up in arms about that or concerned about going back if the API changes are rolled back. Those people are as lost as old people who love FoxNews, Facebook or any other commercially charged propaganda vehicle.
These leftists you hate so much have done something good. They’ve seized the means of communication for you. It’s open source and decentralised, it’s up to you (the community) what to do with it. If you are hardstuck on this then I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the dev ain’t one.
My man, that’s exactly why you should do it. To inflict as much pain as possible on Reddit, especially if it disrupts them and others from problem solving. I too have used Reddit a great deal to solve issues. I recognise what you’re saying, but somethings gotta give my friend. Reddit is a evil coporation that’s feeding it’s users to the wolves. Completely sabotaging their website and transfering here is in my opinion, the way forward. It’s 10 steps backwards, in orders to make 100 steps forward.
I’m absolutely there with you my friend. This place has a far higher potential than Reddit ever had by virtue of it’s open source code and decentralised nature. You, I and others here, are riding the waves of history.
Listen, I explained Lemmy to my 66 year old boomer Dad and even he understood. You join one of the Lemmy instances and choose it as your home the same way you choose gmail as your email provider. Then you sub whatever community anywhere. It’s not a big deal.
The way I see it, just like with many many many other open sourced projects such as Launchbox, or KeePass, or ShareX, or Libre Office, nothing starts out perfect. But you need to recognise there are hard working people trying to make this dream a reality. It’s being worked on. What you are looking at is essentially a website in it’s infancy still, and it’s being built by the sheer will of the community. If people have patience, and understanding, things can work out just fine. This place is a paradise compared to Reddit. The Reddit corporation does not give a fuck. It wants your data, and to squeeze you for cash.
Lemmy isn’t perfect, yet, but the best thing we can do is work together and make it the way we want it, and we can, nothing can stop us. It’s open source, anyone can contibute. Donate. Post. Help the devs fix the bugs.
Yeah, I miss r/Psoriasis, because I have auto-immune, and I miss r/AskDentist and r/AskMechanic and all the learning based subs basically.
This comment needs to be a lot higher.
The question is if it’ll take off, more or less.
It already has.
I doctored my bookmarks to exclude Reddit. On my phone I replaced it was Jerboa, which I was very impressed with as an alpha app. It’s already better than Reddit’s official app. I’m very guilty of doing the same like you. Launch up reddit then correct myself. I’m comitted to the move away.
Should have brought a gun.
