  • I thought I was gonna be able to quit Reddit full time. Didn’t look for a few days, then did. Still check since some niche communities aren’t over here (or active) yet so I have to go there. But I only still check every few days (I was a several time a day redditor so usage is down) and I’ll check Lemmy at least once or twice a day now.





  • I literally had someone request to “follow me” who then immediately text me and ask — what is this thing that it just put me on.

    They are definitely inflating numbers and making it hard to drop user count because deleting threads deletes your Instagram too.

    You’ll only ever hear about total users now never “active” would be my guess which after a few days or weeks will be significantly less than the “10 million” that supposedly “signed up”








  • Competition drives innovation. If something from a walled garden fediverse comes to the broader world as a result, awesome. I mean, if we could federate with Reddit for example, and I could access their subs content but not be subjected to their 1st party app and ads and karma and that’s the stuff on top of their instance, I don’t care what they do on their server.

    If anything it may introduce people as a gateway into the fediverse to begin with so when something happens on a corporate instance that pisses them off, they might feel compelled to look into the broader world around them. Not all, but some.

    I guess the only big concern most people have here is the Microsoft EEE.
