You’re exaggerating a little bit. Reddit is more alive than alive.

The lists of smartphones on the Postmarket OS and UBPorts websites can be used as a basis. Theoretically, you can use for experiments phones that come with alternative firmware directly from the factory. OnePlus, for example. You could buy a Pinephone and experiment with mobile Linux.
The creators of Lemmy keep telling us about the “federation” of the social network. A federation is something that has a federal center that exercises a governing function.
Just because we all have not been informed of the existence of such a center does not mean that it does not exist.
Correct me if I am wrong.
A “federation” is a form of state structure in which parts of a state are state entities with legally defined political autonomy within a federation.
Federation, in contrast to confederation, provides for a certain coordinating administration. That is, you still have no freedom here, and you don’t even know who pays the electric bill in your new entity.
I won’t even respond to your juggling with my words. I’m lazy. You’ll start taking my phrases out of context again and the discussion will devolve into an empty argument. Surely your parents didn’t let you use the internet (if you were born then) when Google turned off all third party apps from the popular Google Talk back then. You probably don’t remember when Facebook and WhatsApp did the same thing. All social networks and messengers are going through this kind of production optimization and no one is making a big deal out of it. And in conclusion: I used fediverse when it was not yet mainstream. And now I have to admire the yelling of Reddit refugees.
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t care about mass upvotes and mass downvotes. These are the weapons of pimply emo leftists, not adults.
I wonder if Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter know about the fediverse stabbing them?
So they drove a bunch of people into a public beta software. Do developers need free beta testing?
I think I saw this photo on Reddit a year ago.
So what? I can open my sub and put Nancy Pelosi’s ass on it.
It all depends on your sense of humor.
No one forces you to pay, ads are easily blocked.
Your acrimonious talk is happening because you realize that Steve Huffman is acting legitimately, but not the way you want him to.
And that no one is going to ask you in this argument.
Maybe 50% of the subs closed, but 50% stayed.
And you’re left in a half-empty Lemmy and jerking off to the fall of Reddit.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think this is the end of your “journey”?
I prefer Android because we all do not have much choice. Once I preferred Symbian, it was an inconvenient system for advertising salesmen, then there was Windows mobile, I liked it too, but it died quickly. I like the pushbutton phones with proprietary firmware the most, but unfortunately these days it’s hard to live without mobile apps.
I’ve gotten used to Slackware in 25 years.
I bet NSFW fans won’t notice anything.
I’m trying to figure out what kind of blackout you’re talking about. I open up (oh my God, I feel like a heretic) Reddit and guess what? Hardly anything has changed on Reddit. My feed is still there. Yes, a grand total of five ever-fronting subs stopped working, ten more subs took a formal vote, and… it’s still the same. Every social network goes the way of monetizing content. I first joined Reddit in 2015, at the time it was an incomprehensible pseudo-social network with an awkward interface. It took almost 18 years before Reddit became usable. But blackout is still a long way off. While kbin/lemmy is consolidated by the thought of blackout, but people can’t stay in suspense for long.
Uncomfortable. There are two or three users in the instances, and all are silent. “Federalization” is dumb, for the chuckleheads of decentralization. The app and website are crude. Settings are not saved, blocked content hangs in the feed.
If you’re not aware, social media has a user agreement. It is a contract imposed on the user. And Reddit (oddly enough) acts within that agreement. Right now, Lemmy is stapled with the idea of “Reddit is down”(no), and then what happens?
I have no objection.
Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?
