Don't threaten me with a good time

I think it's just the natural progression of things. It will die down probably by mid July after the changes have been made. I'm sure this also happened on reddit after the migration from Digg.
Yeah, if anything I'm enjoying watching the way this dumpster fire plays out. I'll probably hang on for as long as I can and keep using my Relay Pro app until reddit fizzles away on June 30th, then overwrite all my comments or erase my accounts.
What's happening is for the best. It's better to just accept that reddit is no longer, and that we can foster real communities within Lemmy that can no longer be taken away from us by CEO's with micropeens. Power can now be distributed collectively into the fediverse without the need for advertising or data collection. The future of the internet is in the federated internet 😊
Assuming that it will be ported to PC then I'm sure they've resolved those issues.
I was elated when reddit announced they blocked 3rd party apps, gently but affirmingly guiding me to the ads. It always makes my day better to browse through some targeted ads with my content on the side, like a balanced breakfast meal. The dopamine rush I get from buying plastic objects off of Amazon is just too damn good. Thank god for these changes. Bless you, spez.
That's very tempting, but there's no telling if reddit will raise API pricing going forward, or add more restrictions to 3rd party apps. Their community has gone to shit anyway. Better to just pull the plug entirely and start anew.
Those that stay probably weren't aware of what they were missing out on.
Hoping that those that leave find themselves a cozy place here on Lemmy.
After June 30th Lemmy is still my new home. I won't browse reddit without Relay Pro.
I think this is my first post?
But yeah same here, most of my issues come from stability as of right now, otherwise Lemmy is fantastic.
If you keep on closing the YouTube app, and clicking on the URL, eventually after 2 or 3 tries the YouTube app won't have an ad it will go straight to the video. Saves a lot of time especially if there's 2 ads.
