Fog, DuckDuckGo is bonkers useless for Reddit search

Microplastics and PFAS

No, seriously, these two will kill Earth, and us

Wow, thanks for teaching me this term! Fuck capitalism!

Yeah, honestly, that’s what the majority of everything does. An insane amount of people freely download malicious apps without any further research or anything, let alone know about open source being a thing.

However, I think certain communities, such as SelfHosted or DataHoarder, would start gradually using Lemmy more due to the nature of their knowledge and awareness about things, which might slowly bring over more people.

I’ve also seen Lemmy mentioned in a lot of threads about the subreddits shutting down in cooperation as a protest against the Reddit API change. Most are casual users and won’t care, and that’s unfortunate, but if more and more start spreading awareness and migrating, maybe there’ll be a better chance of more of those 80%+ coming here…

Yup, corporations hire psychologists, analysts, statisticians, and more in order to create a walled garden and keep users engaged with their service or platform for as long as possible (see the addictive Instagram browsing UX loop, for example).

It’s pretty evil just how far they’re willing to go to drive a profit…

I’m new to the Fediverse, but I’m looking forward to its future!

Oh wow, it’s an honor to meet you - thank you so much for your hard work!

I had already started talking about Lemmy to people as soon as I heard about it myself, and I’ve seen many discussions about it in the most random comment sections on Reddit continuously popping up within the past day or two, so it’s definitely starting to receive more and more attention!

Exactly! It’s a real shame when a subreddit with lots of content, history, and human socialization and activity just gets taken down, and it just becomes… gone.

Also Rest In Peace Aaron Hillel Swartz, you were done wrong, and you improved the world with your existence and intentions!

Artistic ones, like music production, digital art, etc. maybe?

Just had the same issue while typing up a post of my own, glad I’m not the only one haha
