Yeah no one should be hurt, wet or out of pocket. The empty cup is an easy and anonymous (so no confrontation) way of letting the person know they’re being inconsiderate.
I don’t agree with their decision but I understand their reasons. Probably the new instance is more suitable for the community, however they were growing in one of the biggest Lemmy instances. I think the best they could’ve done was to ask the community. Despite of that, I expect the android community to continue growing as it was before moving.
I can understand that instead of the others commenting, but I don’t really agree with the idea of them arbitrarily deciding they can do whatever they want with the community and punish the users who weren’t aware of that and don’t want to move and or check to another place.
Seems a bit barbaric and awkwardtheturtle esk imo to just do a bunch of stuff without asking the community if they’d like to switch, they just decided “no we’re going to close and you’re gonna like it” essentially lol
Baha i have the particular experience of an AMD card that is a weird age, apparently. I still have an old R9 390 which defaults to using the older-compatibility “radeon” drivers instead of the “amdgpu” drivers. Turns out this card doesn’t work terribly well with those old drivers, and can’t even play videos.
Took me a while to figure out what was wrong, testing out a fresh linux mint install to try and dip my toes in ;p
That said, i still would prefer this over the proprietary drivers and difficulty with that~
so true it’s awful you can’t tell posts from ads from what your subscribed too. all for what. I started using reddit with Apollo and it has to be the best app that I’ve chose/chosen to use(probably very close to a human guide lines compliment app too so many options and tweaks). to lose it over money grab ego bolstering is just the nail in the coffin for reddit to me. to think it used to be this place to be exposed to new ideas and topics anf by the way if you have any technical, personal, or financial question you can find some good literal information with a little effort for that too. just a shame our societies fr profit mentality.
“I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”
first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.
Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.
I get the feeling that you don’t understand that you don’t need to sign up at the other instance to subscribe to the community. You can just click the link and subscribe from your current account, and everything will be as it was.
There’s a reason why I don’t use kbin. Well, two. 1. Kbin federation sucks and is weird as fuck and keeps turning off and on, and 2. Where API, I script the shit out of everything, API pls. Apiiiiiii
I know :) I’m partially kidding. I tried kbin. The UI was too weird for me. That’s actually the main reason I didn’t use it. It felt less customizable. I had a hard time not seeing just the defaults. In fact I’m not sure in all this time I’ve subbed to anything from my kbin acc.
You don’t have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
Your first point…I’m sorry, it just looks like a classic “strawman”. All I will say is that there are many reasons to leave reddit, but this particular argument fails on a simple premise: # most of the time, users upset with specific mods likely did not leave reddit, but rather just created new subreddits in direct competition. But there is no singular reason to leave reddit; even so, the most popular reason currently is something entirely different.
Second, the community explicitly was not closed; it was relocated. As others have pointed out already, this does not remove or restrict your access in any meaningful way.
Last but not least, there reasons are very clearly and directly communicated. I see no fault with their reasoning, or the action they took.
