Gotta ask a carrier pigeon on that to confirm.

Nobody who remains there gives a fuck.

Also more extentions. Both do more or less have the essential ones though.

youtube feed is a toddler you’re trying to tame. even the slightest misdirection will end you up with infinite crochet videos for 2 weeks because you watched a video about the last crochet artists in cambodia

Are you shackled there or do you just like dark and humid places?

same lol

I just want to share my sympathies on how hard it must be when she goes and listens to those assholes on YouTube and believes them but won’t accept her family’s help telling her what bullshit all that is.

I hope you get her out of that zone op.

Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing that happened with reddit can happen with instagram/snapchat/Twitter simply because their users don’t give a fuck. The familiarity and existence of large content creators on those platforms create a much greater reluctance for their users to make the switch. Better alternatives for all have existed for years and yet no change took place because quality or ideology just wasn’t the reason people preferred those apps. It was what it is and even for me, similar to many people, making the swith just isn’t sensible as it wouldn’t mean shit without convincing 300+ people im connected to to make the switch with me and then again, they don’t care.

My point rests with your last sentence. I don’t care about funny vids or weird facts, what made reddit precious was the interaction within communities and “being part of it” rather than just a visitor. That for me makes this situation life or death for reddit and from what I’ve seen, the “core” and most invested folk who made reddit what it is think so too. Without these, reddit is just another website with pictures and text.

The inaction of some communities not so deep into the internet lore is absolutely fine however bigger subs or corrupt mods yielding to the bullying from admins/supporting them will result in dissolving of these communities and this is why I absolutely think that anyone and everyone should take some action whether it be migrating to lemmy like us or any other solution they see fit whether it be a discord server or an independent forum.

It is unavoidable that there will be losses but a fresh start is the best we have and to maintain what was created over years with blood sweat and tears, reddit is no longer a viable option. It seems a spring cleaning was in order anyhow…

What infuriates me are subs that act like nothing is happening. I can understand not wanting to get involved with drama but actively supporting the devs by pretending everything is fine is vile to me.
