This is the primary reason why I quit Facebook and Reddit permanently.

I would have probably never discovered the fediverse if reddit hadn't fucked up so badly with killing all 3rd party apps. So thanks for doing that reddit.

I realized after posting this I'm responding to a week old thread but there are so few of us that comment so I think it's ok.

i think that commented a while after a post was created is par for the course for lemmy; but only on the politically themed posts since lemmy was intended to be political, at its core.

Because people let them. Capitalism.

As an off ramp:

Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.. Also Linux. The internet works because of it, in spite of window and apple.

Meshtastic. Build, learn, go! Go now!
