Looking forward to trying it! I’m going in with an open mind and definitely not expecting the experience to be as flawless as the original since even Lemmy itself is still in development.

I’m from Israel.

I’ve made a mistake by trying to restore a old Facebook account that I wanted to “delete”, I even attempted it on two occasions, of course they demand an ID picture but their website is horrible with the phone camera so the pics always came out blurry so they always refused them.

Never again.

I can imagine they attempted to save face after all the 3rd party app mess, of course it’s an ill-advised decision and backfired on them as it should.

I wouldn’t mind if they started a subscription model that makes them enough to keep the thing running and be completely independent from Google.

Whats bothering me the most about it is that Reddit is still a valuable source of information for so many things, can’t get around a boss fight in a certain older videogame? Yep, there are about 10 threads about it on reddit from years ago.

The amount information on there is big enough that often times many of the top useful search results are in reddit, I hope Lemmy can fill the gap, at least partially but I’m aware that it could years and that’s only if the fediverse picks up well enough.

Thanks for the transparency.

At least they didn’t have to suffer for any stretch of time, I hope.

Ikr? I was under the impression that Mayayo wasn’t interested but he probably saw the potential even more so when other former reddit 3rd party apps are switching, potentially bringing a lot of users.

What is it with tech companies being too shitty lately?
