Finally, the fun kind of schizoposting!

The Sync drama truly is a Reddit moment.

It was bound to happen eventually; these migrations happen in waves, after all. Not to mention, a solid chunk of former Reddit users just stopped using social media entirely.

So have other forums. Maybe it’s just these newfangled social media websites that have longevity issues?

I’ve got a couple accounts on various instances as backup, since we can’t exactly transfer accounts across instances just yet.

I, for one, am glad to be on a server that isn’t run by tankies, nazis or some other crazy fuckos.

That’s how they collect the surplus they have right now. Without it, they could be in much direr straits if funding were to be suddenly cut off.

That should tell you something about how little effort people have put into understanding the Fediverse.

Because it’s a complex feature that may involve recurring costs for developers, and they may need more time to ‘get it right’.

Honestly, now that you say it…that does sound like quite the case study.

Feels nice, being a pioneer.

Is Tildes really ‘competing’? The invite-based signup obviously invites the most dedicated and ‘quality’ individuals, but I don’t see how that’s gonna help with critical mass.

As for Squabbles, I’m suspicious of yet another centralized platform. Honestly, I’m just sorta ‘done’ trusting wannabe billionaires.

What a fucking piece of shit. How do people like this even exist?

I mean, Reddit killed off ‘polished UX’ and that’s what drove me here. All the great 3PAs are on the Fediverse, after all!

It’s been ‘positively received’ because it’s still invite-only, giving it an air of exclusivity. Plus, it has Twitter’s founder on the board and people really miss what it used to be for…some reason.

Facebook’s probably listing anything that is and might be possible to collect, as a way to cover their legal bases already.

Well, it makes sense; most of the new Lemmy crowd hopped on after the Reddit 3PA disaster.

Memmy, easily the best app available right now.

Wouldn’t be surprised if major Lemmy instances started showing ads to sustain their own servers. It sucks, but hosting costs money and donations aren’t all that reliable.
