This is really great to hear! If I can keep using Sync honestly a big part of what I’ll miss about Reddit will disappear

90s Microsoft loved using standards to get a leg up only to try and add stuff on top to ultimately make the people just using the non-MS improved standard into 2nd class citizens.

It was called Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

I have no reason to think that Meta aren’t trying to do exactly this

I can see what you’re saying and I do agree on some level. However one of the things I liked most about Reddit was how pseudo-anonymous it was.

There was too many people to know who everyone was, so I feel like it mitigated that unwelcoming cliquey-ness that you tend to get in the kind of smaller communities you tend to see on discord. It felt as if everyone equal, whether they had just joined a community or been furniture for a decade.

Entirely willing to suggest this might just be my own perspective and not a very common one

I feel like most successful social networks tend to have grown a bit like that tbh.

You get the super techy early adopters, then you get the tech enthusiasts, then you get the regular tech literate and finally the network effect is strong enough to get everyone else remotely interested to sign up.

I’d say that also probably correlates to an inverted progression of people willing to put up with bugs, missing functionality and perhaps a bit more of a wild west as people figure out how they’re going to interact with the network and the people on it.

The demographics of Reddit from 15 years ago were nothing like on Reddit 5 years ago and those are nothing like that which make up Reddit today.

Well I’d be lying if I said this didn’t worry me about the future of Moog.

I wouldn’t say any of the InMusic brands have fared particularly well post acquisition

That was Focusrite (who also own Novation). I think the jury is still out on that one, wasn’t it only a year or so ago?

I did think about akai, but honestly even that is starting to feel a bit past it’s heyday

Went to see what was going on over there, there’s a load of people in the daily thread completely missing the point of the protest.

Hopefully just a loud minority

Jerboa on Android supports this in the slide out menu on the left

Connect is pretty good, I’ve been using that while jerboa and lemmy.world have version issues to resolve.

I’ll probably be switching to sync for lemmy as soon as that becomes available though
