Of course we do. That’s my point. It’s not a Reddit problem, it’s a human problem.

There is no ethical consumption.

“What, me worry?”

They are all available on every instance. It’s not different than having five communities for the same subject on Reddit. It’s worse here right now because so few communities have managed to “clear their orbit” yet, but it will get better.

But, that’s not relevant to communities. You can kill a community by technical means, but technical means cannot create one; it’s necessary but not sufficient, and not even the hard part.

Most people are still on fucking FACEBOOK. They are willing to put up with almost unlimited bullshittery for the sake of their sense of community. Building a better mousetrap won’t work, and building a vaguely equivalent mousetrap won’t even move the needle.

Lemmy is Reddit 10 years ago

I mean it’s not THAT good, but it’s sure better than Reddit today.

“Reddit is awful. How do we move that here?”

Most people don’t change unless they have to, and rarely even then. You’d have to make it so that they can’t visit Reddit anymore.

Even on reddit itself, you can’t get people to move from a sick community with hostile moderation to the preferred community. /r/Canada got taken over by /r/metacanada what feels like decades ago, and they turned it into a post modern bigoted classist hellhole, but it still ranks far above the “real” Canadian sub /r/OnGaurdForThee.

Maybe better not to compete with existing communities. Develop some anchor communities on Lemmy that are doing their own thing on topics that aren’t well served on Reddit.

There’s a counter, but it’s going to take you about 200 hours.

Replying because I need to think about how I’m going to vote for this comment and plan to come back later.

I dunno what cameras you are using but a standard full frame sensor and an F/4 lens sees way better in low light than the human eye. If I take a raw image off my camera, there is so much more dynamic range than I can see or a monitor can even represent, you can double the brightness at least four times (ie 16x brighter) and parts of the image that looked pure black to the eye become perfectly usable images. There is so so so much more dynamic range than the human eye.

Hard to credit without a source, modern cameras have way more dynamic range than the human eye.

Jesus, the “plandemic” explanation for why the Internet is dying. The Internet IS clearly dying, but this is stupid. Even if we got rid of all the bots and AI, the Internet would still be dying, because open protocols are not as exploitable as walled gardens. The value of capital in the world overwhelms the value of human labour and human interest, and all our social structures conform to the needs of capital over time.

No. Seriously.

You might have a problem grasping irony.

Just use another word for something that is in some ways similar to piracy, but isn’t piracy.

omg you’re serious. ha ha, dumbass.

Hate speech. Reported. Not cool.

There is no real dichotomy between the logo we have and the proposed typographical symbol. They have different uses, neither can really replace the other. Keep the established colourful Fediverse logo in visual layouts and when desired use the typographical symbol in text. It is natural that they won’t be exactly the same symbol because they are designed for different needs; one is meant to look pretty and one is meant to read well as text.

No I’m just so very bored and this is the classic bikeshed issue so I figure I won’t cause any problems here.

Booo!!! Satan hater!! Hey everyone, this guy hates Satan!!!
