You call it antagonizing, i call it curation 😎

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

alternatively: it's negging? :p

People who complain about gatekeeping forget that there are very legitimate reasons gates are put up in the first place.

[-] [email protected] 62 points 3 months ago

I don't know why we would ever want to bring redditors here. I think redditors should leave when they have had enough of reddits bullshit, and if they like the 'verse, settle in. Redditors who are convinced to come will tryta recreate reddit vibe that i deliberately left. Too many breathless debatelord milksops, they can stay in their reddit slophole

[-] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

yes, that's why I left Reddit, why would I want this place to become like Reddit again?

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Guys cmon, look at this whole thread and have some self-awareness.

We've all got aspects of reddits worse qualities in our niche topics of interest, and the tribalism here isn't that much of an upgrade from the reddit hive mind.

We have no right or authority to gatekeep people joining, all we can do is give them the option and shove them from instance to instance until they finally settle on an echo chamber suittable to our/their weird tastes.

That exist in any social media, the issue with Reddit is the bots and the corporations changing narratives and antagonizing human interactions.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yep. I'm fine with standard soc-med drama but i draw the line at literal anti-social behavior such as bots and corps.
Fuck. That.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I hated the AI ragebait that infested some subreddits. Most of the front page posts on AITA were AI posts after a certain point. You could tell for a few weeks since they all used an en dash — in the post. It’s not something most regular people would use, as a regular dash - is what most people do online.

I don’t miss the bots, the corps, the ragebait, and the bad actors. I’m thankful to have Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Sure, but we want more users as well. Redditors are likely to be fans of this format.

Pulling that ladder up aye.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They're not just suckering for ego. Don't get me wrong, they're not skipping that...

...That just sounds like their Alliance unite all the virtual balls under one rule so that everybody can be interfered with or ignored equally.

Tell me you know who that is.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago

I'm not sure I can bring myself to create an account on that site. I can't listen to people whine about how difficult it is to pick a server. "ergmagerd, the choices I have to make are so difficult :cry: :cry: :cry: why do I have to choose between a generalist, furry, lgbtq and tech server :tears: :tears: :tears:" and the "it looks like shit" people who forget how old.reddit.com looks like.

Nah I'm good.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago

old.reddit.com is still the only usable way to use Reddit. Whenever I find something in a web search that leads to Reddit, the majority of the content on the page is hidden unless I change the URL to old.reddit.com.

The fact that they've conditioned the majority of users to prefer the new site means it's not the place for me anymore.

There's a browser addon for that, btw! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

doesn't RES do that anyway?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Maybe there's an option somewhere, but at least back when I installed Old Reddit Redirect, it either didn't exist, didn't work or I didn't find it.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It's the only way to browse some subs without logging in nowadays.

I was one of the people that didn't understand the decentralization until Reddit went pure enshittification and I had to get used to it. I know it's not so bad but it's just a UX thing.

I'm here now, so it turns out to be nothing but it can be confusing to users if it isn't clear what's going on.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ninja edit: sorry, meme community oops

redact

To be quite contrarian here:

When people whine about how something so simple is difficult, the appropriate response is to listen.

Mandatory instance selection as an active choice during the registration process is unacceptable friction unless we specifically intend to retard user growth.

But once we rope some new Fedifriends in and they start commenting and appreciating the site… hit them with the technical!! May need foster-parent instances to take burden of initial signup.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I made one because I was annoyed at people being wrong about the fediverse.

Is that your ingrained response to anything that fits? Because I've got some objects for you to look at...

you know, (con)sensually.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

I missed the origin of this meme, what a vid though! I really need to attend more city council meetings, and I definitely need to open any addresses to them with "'sup bootlickers?"

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Don't forget the beardo wizard in the corner pulling a Heimskyr, ranting about Linux, while accompanied by a menacing looking hand drawn penguin holding a knife.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Ackchually it's Heimskr and GNU/Linux

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

May Lord Torvalds forgive me for this transgression.

I missed your power-user ass before refederation.

Just thought you should know.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Thanks, I guess? Not sure if ironic or not 😅

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nope, sincere af.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

c/Politics being a bunch of very obvious reddit migrants who stand out like a sore thumb in every other community, including c/WorldNews

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I don't know how they can remain so disillusioned with reality. Like every other post is obviously irrelevant ragebait but they keep it up

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Please keep agitating. No one should feel comfortable.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Chief I don't know if you want the crowd that's still over there. I'm a recent migrant and it was getting bad. the average redditor just has a really shitty idea of how the internet should be

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Some people here really treat Reddit like their abusive ex lmao

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

All these people need to go the fuck outside irs so pathetic lol

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

REDDITOOOOORS~! COME OUT AND PLAY-AAAAY!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Well, they fucking are

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Don’t worry they’re all getting banned for thought crimes

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Me trying to be nice

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago
