Multiple communities for the same topic, but on different Lemmy instances. This is both good and bad (which c/ do I subscribe to?) but I argue its a pro more than a con.
Real communism has never happened, except in Monsters Inc where the workers seized the means of production to create a better company from the worker to the workers.
A family of 5th generation inbreds exchanging chuckles over the odor of their piss. The conversation is narrow. The jokes are private. Real novelty is strictly forbidden.
Nah, he’s just upset that he didn’t get the answers he wanted to his post yesterday, that got deleted by a mod, then to his post complaining about that, which got deleted by a mod, so now he’s on a butthurt world tour apparently.
At some point I stopped using Reddit on the web/desktop and just started to use it on my phone/tablet. I tried different apps, but settled with RIF. Every few years I’d try different apps, but always found my way back to RIF.
Reddit did a bunch of stupid things over the years, but I could happily ignore them and continue to use RIF.
When RIF went away I had to find a new app. The official app wasn’t going to work for me. Old Reddit on the phone wasn’t going to work for me.
Luckily there are plenty of Lemmy apps. I’ve settled on Voyager (wefwef) but Boost seems fine too.
Sure, the content has changed a bit, but it’s close enough.
For me a good app is key. Lemmy has good apps. I use Lemmy.
So many apps redesign themselves and assume I’ll get used to it. In actuality they cause me to wonder, “Do I still need you?” and start looking for alternatives.
That isn’t to say that apps can’t ever redesign themselves, but so many redesigns seem to follow the latest trend and don’t demonstrate a clear understanding of their users.
The community is more mature, less stupid pun chains (pretty sure those are mostly bots at this point), and less presence of interest groups (nefarious or not).
