Yes it is! Exciting to discover it.
I was never really interested in twitter or similar services, so I pass on Mastodon.
I disagree a bit with the “scorch the land” approach.
It may be worthwhile in the 2 blackout days, where the mods that have the few non-locked down subs will struggle to keep up.
But in general I dont think that is a viable approach because reddit is literally FUELED by rage. Rage and hate gets so much interactivity on the platform - meaning traffic as well. And traffic is exactly what we dont want to give them.
So just being obnoxious in the comments is a bad idea imo. Maybe just spamming a sub with porn is the better solution because it mostly makes mods busy (and the sub moderation worse therefore) and doesnt attract the sensationalists that are just waiting to jump into a verbal ringfight.
I already deleted my stuff on reddit. Account gets deleted on the 30th. In hindsight, the scrambled words as content replacement would’ve been genious. Didnt think of that.
Honestly I didnt expect much else. The AMA announcement alone was downvoted to hell.
Why he even did it, knowing already that he wont change his mind, is a question for smarter minds than me. There was nothing to gain as far as I can see.
Doubling down on defaming the apollo creator was just the cherry on top.
What a piece of human garbage. I really wish them (reddit) to fail hard at this point.
Yeah its all a bit confusing.
Say, you find an entry in https://beehaw.org/c/creative that you like and you’d like to subscribe to the whole community.
IF someone in your home instance (lemmy.ml) has already added …creative, you can just search for it in “communities” and you can then open and subscribe on the righthand side.
IF however you are the first in your home instance to access it, then you have to add it manually.
I do the following (someone more experience may enlighten us if there’s a better way):
-
Use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find the community or just copy the link of the main community (in this case https://beehaw.org/c/creative)
-
Be logged in in your homeinstance, click on the magnifying glass top right to search and then paste the link and search. The community will show up as a link and you can go there and subscribe.
Edited for some clarity.
Heck, I might even quit the lurkin’ life if the trend stays that positive hehe.
It all reminds me a bit of the good old times of early reddit. People who are ready for conversation, relatively few trolling (and worse) and just a community or rather communities in the truest sense of the word.
But also I dont know how it is from a mods perspective.
I am enjoying it so far. I usually tend to lurk but the community is, as many have said, very welcoming and it creates an atmosphere where it encourages you to contribute (not just with up/downvotes but also comments).
