I dislike and distrust short form video based social media. But that seems to be the common response.
IDK if I even consider that an “old person” trait though because there are lots of Zoomers that seem to hate it to. Though I wonder if that’s because generational cultures are melding together more because of the internet.
I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche “Communities” (as Lemmy generically calls them).
I need my <specific video game> subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I’ll probably fully abandon Reddit.
Looks like its just the Zucc’s edition of Musk’s Twitter.
I feel like avoiding a corporate trap for instant growth for the sake of protecting more sustainable long term growth is still in essence a focus on growth.
I agree with the decision to try and dodge this poison pill, but I disagree on the ideology that we shouldn’t try and get as many people on board the fediverse as possible. I want federated social media to have revolutionary power, and you can’t have power without leverage.
My problem is a smaller Lemmy/Mastodon/fediverse means no niche communities. For example, I want to chat about all the individual specific video games I’ve played and I can’t reasonably do that if there aren’t sufficient people on Lemmy to do that with.
As for integration vs no integration with corporation’s bittersweet pill I don’t know my stance in that case. I seem to be getting conflicting information on how healthy this would be for the fediverse. Whatever gets me my niche topic chats, in a solid and usable UI, while avoiding corporate data harvesting, advertising, and political manipulation is what I want.
I’m 100% broke but I want it pretty bad. That’s my thoughts.

I’ve seen like, maybe a singular youtube video essay on it (And I think it was by by a very small channel).
EDIT: Also WASTED: A Post Apocalyptic Pub Crawler.
Portal can be decent fun, but the problem is that the devs did a poor job integrating it into the rest of progression so very few people play it unless its 1000% damage HC servers.
The regular modes are generally a lot more rewarding IMO and at this point the content for it is reasonably fleshed out. The biggest issue is that now the new content that is coming is very much a drip feed.
I’m glad you guys acted swiftly. Security is important.
