Wouldn’t “Elon Mode” mean you’re guaranteed to wreck everything?

Not just scummy, but dictatorial in the stupidest possible way. It’s basically like a parent, unable to justify an unreasonable edict, ending any discussion with a “because I said so, that’s why!”

Unfortunately, I can’t avoid it entirely, as there are some communities (like GenP) with information bases that still aren’t replicated here. I’d like to think that some of those communities will migrate over here eventually, but it hasn’t happened yet.

I’m sure Canada is devastated by the news.

That “pattern” has been around for at least fifty years. This is merely a continuation of it.

“No one cares, trust me bro”…until their dealer (corporate Reddit) decides to start charging for their fix, or else nukes their favorite subreddit to make the whole place more investor-friendly. Then, it will be “HOW DARE THEY???”

Just think – he’ll also get the opportunity to become the first president to be criminally convicted imprisoned.

TBH, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of legal torrent sites. I know LibreOffice makes its product available via torrenting, but that’s really about it.

The “tipping point” will happen when a) enough of the popular subreddits get their equivalent here, and b) when people make a point of turning posts into discussions. The experience of making a comment and then…nothing isn’t the sort of think likely to sustain itself.

Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.
