I think we all know that these blackouts aren’t going to be the death of Reddit. The admins always had the power to in-blackout subreddits if they are deemed important enough. The best thing that came of this whole ordeal is the absolutely MASSIVE spike in Lemmy users (see https://the-federation.info/platform/73).
As long as enough people stay here, we can continue to grow based on momentum, and we won’t even need to think about Reddit moving forward. At least, that’s the way I see it.
Yeah it’s definitely Safari for me, most of the time. I do switch to Brave whenever I want to watch YouTube though, since it actually blocks ads there.
Hello world! I’m one of the many reddit refugees who found out about lemmy after the blackouts. The ray of light in the whole twitter debacle was finding out about mastodon, and the greater fediverse, so when I saw reddit going the same direction, I was already primed to look for a federated platform to jump ship to.
Lately I couldn’t help shake the feeling that the current state of the internet was just wrong, and I longed for the early days when it felt like a giant collection of unique and interesting communities, all linking to each other. I truly feel like this is the next step in the evolution of the world wide web, and that massive corporate-controlled social media websites were just a brief distraction from actual progress.
It’s good to be home.
As someone who was homeschooled, please believe me when I say you should not homeschool your kids.
ようこそ日本へ！ I’m not in Japan myself, but it’s cool to see lemmy hosted in more places. Let’s make it worldwide, baby!

Me when I see a featherless biped.
I’m not joking when I say that the compiz cube was the reason I got into Linux back in the day. In hindsight, it was just a neat graphical gimmick, but it was enough to spark my lifelong love for free software.
My brain is hurting at the thought of making something new that is already old.
But yes that’s all you need. Welcome!
While I agree that it would be nice to only have one app installed in order to chat with everyone, the fact that it’s not open source makes me question the privacy involved. I’ve already sold my soul to these individual chat apps. I’d rather not compound that problem.
