A lot more tiktok for me. Say what you will of the platform, it’s at the beginning of the enshittification spectrum and has a ton of original and interesting content.
I do use Lemmy every day too tho.

Imo quality engagement comes from quality moderating. Facebook has a lot of moderators but they don’t give a shit about community and their focus is purely monetization. Reddit used to care about community but we know how that went. Lemmy has a chance to get it right. But even if an instance fucks it up the platform is open and gives us options for other communities within the platform.
When I’ve checked the front page it’s like 15 year humor has taken over. R/unexpected top post was some dumb “NSFW” gif with a breakup and a girl saying how she loved a dude and him saying she didn’t give him pussy, "🤦so cringe. All my subs were borked, not worth the effort to rebuild, I’d rather build new in lemmy.
Yeah so this article just parroting Russia’s propaganda. 👎
Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.
One thing I think about though is all the extra maintenance that goes into having a gas engine. It would be nice to commit and have the easier future maintenance.
He’s saying the same talking points at every interview and handling this situation like Chris Licht did before he got fired at CNN, had some ideas for change that people weren’t necessarily against but shove it down their throats with out any finesse or flexibility or fairness and everyone is unhappy and it exposed the true motive. Licht \ CNN was being forced to the right by the owner and billionaire investors, and Reddit is just plain forcing out 3rd party apps (that helped build reddit in the first place, and have been open to paying a reasonable amount for api access) to try and boost revenue. My favorite take on all this is from Arstechnica:
But Reddit’s biggest asset is its community. Charging for its API may be a necessary evil to survive an uncertain future, but Reddit’s attitude against its own community isn’t. Reddit is burning bridges on its quest for cash without showing an ounce of sympathy.
