It would be great to have a list of sites so id know whose links I can just immediately ignore.

I am just now realising pokemon sleep is real. I legit tought it was made up as a joke, I can't believe it.

Oh, reading that was fun. If Reddit is trying that things must not be going well for them backstage.

I will half heartedly wash it with sponge and a tiny bit of soap because I feel guilty if I don't.

Well, yeah, why wouldn't they? It's where everyone else is. Poisoning the well is their whole thing.

I have a secondary at lemm.ee, but i don't think i want to keep it after this. I'm definitely looking into dbzer0. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think Gab completely broke off from the fediverse at this point. not just from being blocked, but also not bothering to keep themselves up to date on their end as well. That being said. I wonder if Meta would be even aware of that, or if they would care if they considered inviting Gab.

But I imagine it's now likely that at least one person suggested inviting them and someone with some common sense shut that down pretty fast.

There's long dead people's very private letters and diaries in museum's and public archives. Really available on the internet now. So that's not even a failing of the internet, if you write something people find interesting, they'll find a way to preserve it.

I'm not sure how they think the fesiverse will be the one to solve that.

I think it can be initially, because it sounds confusing, but I personally feel fairly confident after poking around consistently after a couple of days, that was the amount of time it took for me with reddit all those years ago as well, I believe. Once you figure out how to get to other federations and look up things there, things just run nicely, as long as you're into the old reddit/old internet forums look. Honestly, I found figuring out cross federations in mastodon is way harder, and they're doing it.

But I don't think it will be on the long run to most people once they acclimatise. I'm using both Jerboa and the browser and when I search for new communities to join or look up what's going on on All neither feels like a confusing alien experience. The only part of it that feels weird about it is that after so many years, I very rarely had a need or a desire to use reddit's all, so feels a bit odd.

Oh, I hope so as well, that sub is absolutely precious. When people talked about nuking their account(which I get it) it was for post like those that I feared for.

I just checked reddark over 8400 subreddits are down, pretty much all of the big ones are closed down, that's crazy! I only had one reddit brain fart today and caught myself before, so I have no idea how things are there, but I do miss all the nature, castles and sculptures pictures from the stuff I followed.

Same, I just kept instinctively looking for Boost throughout the day to scroll and then catching myself amd going "godamn it, you made accounts in other places a week ago for this! Just go there!"

I got better at it by the end of the day, by tomorrow hopefully I'll hop here or tildes first instead of mindlessly trying to open reddit first.
