  • Twitter isn’t dying. The users and content is still there. The people going to Mastodon are the niche group of techies. Mastodon isn’t for your casual or average twitter user.

    I think news and ads ruined social media today. I do miss the days of MySpace and people used to log on , hangout and message each other. You used to to connect with your friends online. Today, social media isn’t really used like that anymore.

  • They really did. I could have swore I saw r/blind officially migrate to Lemmy or Kbin a week or two weeks ago as well.

  • For Facebook being Facebook, I can’t help but think how will they screw up “Threads.” Instagram has become a junk platform and WhatsApp has declined as well. Meta or Facebook will try to monetize Threads or ActivityPub with their own take. I can’t believe anything decent let alone good will come from this.

  • It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.

  • Facebook and Instagram already do this. It was only a matter of time for Twitter.

  • In one of his interviews he said he wasn’t very interested at the moment. But he did say he will watch Lemmy and the fediverse to see the growth of it and decide later on if it’s worth it to build an app for Lemmy. He isn’t sure if Lemmy will actually grow after July 1st but time will tell.

    Fidelity deepens valuation cut for Reddit and Discord

  • I just installed Mlem and Memmy. Both have a very nice UI and are smooth. I am leaning towards Mlem though. I like swiping right to view my communities.

    Edit: I was an Apollo user and reddit does not feel the same without Apollo.

    Minecraft's devs exit its 7 million-strong subreddit after Reddit's ham-fisted crackdown on protest

  • He's the first 3PA dev of a big reddit client to do this. Curious to to see now if other devs will follow or if they will watch the sync dev and see how it goes.

  • I found the PC Gamer article a bit confusing so I read other articles and understood it better. I get it now. It's not Discord setting these sub tiers etc. They are allowing more servers. Doesn't sound so bad. I guess depending how much a person uses a server they are a member of, they can help support the server and receive premium benefits and Discord who gets a cut of the purchases. All optional. Not too bad as it is up to the individual servers.

    Edit: this can be a good thing and help support discord financially. So far we are lucky discord has not sold to a tech corp or gone public.

  • I have no problem paying for a service or an app if it is good and fits my needs. It's the microtrans and battle passes that people generally have issues with. Paying for every little thing like a meme.

  • Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.

  • So far so good for me. When you use it more and explore it, you start to learn what is what. I do miss the community that had been built on reddit. But that what years in the making. It's good to have moved to another platform (given recent reddit events) and start to build a new community here.

    Edit: The subs I am subscribed to on reddit that went dark indefinity have moved here. So I am subscribing to them here.
