I still have like 1 or 2 communities I don’t have replacements for (yet), so I plan to treat them as forums essentially. Just the specific subs I care about.

Basically I’m thinking I’ll quit using the front page.

Drive slow car fast better than fast car slow.

This worked lol.

Had a mid relatively recently, so Thursday was my first game session in a couple of months.

Played Chinatown and won handily. Love that game. Very straight forward rules, lots of good interaction and decisions, and a great narrative over the course of the game. Glad to get back to the table.

Went to go get some errands done, and come back to find I have more Lemmy upvotes than I had karma in the last 10 years lol.

6 players is usually the threshold where I split into two games, so 5 is usually the mex I look for a game to support. Others have listed some great games in this slot.

One more obscure one Ill add is Veiled Fate. Great twist on thehidden role game, and supports up to 8 players.

I think the mod tools are what will blow reddit up ultimately. It’s why I’m here.

The third party apps are a hard self own, but I don’t use reddit because of third party apps. I use third party apps because the reddit official app is… Special. If they’d forced me to sue their app I would be annoyed, but still interested in reddit.

If you destroy the key tools that enable volunteer moderators to manage communities, the community will die. Example: two of my favorite subs were legaladvice, and bestoflegaladvice. Both required extensive moderating to function (and even then, it was prone to shit shows particularly at LA). No mod tools would make it unmoderatable… Which turns you into Voat pretty fast.

So, I don’t think reddit dies July 1. I think reddit spends the next year turning into Twitter, and lemmy has to run as fast as it can to scale.

Hopefully, this is my last post on lemmy talking about reddit, but I doubt I’m that lucky.

Me neither! TIL.

I’ll do both for a bit and see what happens.

I’m done posting on reddit, and I’m only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I’ll probably still go there to look at content.

That said, I’m trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

I used some of both. Just depenended on which was right for the particular joint.

Nice part is both have engineered ratings.
