Scotland still has lead pipes too. Hardly a water quality utopia compared to the EU or US.

This is the same fearful and paranoid mentality which caused Putin to invade Ukraine. If everyone continues with this catastrophic thinking, we will have world war in no time.

Living in fear of a Russian invasion of Europe is completely delusional.

Stop browsing from lemmy.world. You can get all of the same content from any instance. The instance I'm on has never gone down. It's always fast and responsive.

Standard Lemmy is actually faster than Old Reddit. See my comparison here.

The default Lemmy interface already combines everything good about old.reddit's design with additional quality of life features, faster performance, and Fediverse-oriented functionality.

No, I do not want to use an old.reddit clone. Lemmy is already better and can be further improved by the community itself. We should be encouraging newcomers to embrace innovation, not encouraging them to go back to Reddit.

"The clicks" don't matter when these individuals own the media outlets and the social media platforms.

Thanks for the updates! Seeing the details of how you work through these early issues is valuable to those of us thinking of starting an instance.

Much love to SDF for still being itself after all these years. Hope to see another 36!

I have over 100 RSS feeds I've organized into different categories. It lets me get the latest updates from many websites all in one place. Even though some feeds now only supply a headline or partial article, it's still a much faster and comfortable experience than relying on Twitter or Reddit to do the same thing.

You've just discovered the main problem with centralized platforms like Reddit, Discord, Twitter. The only thing stopping the mods from making a complete archive of the old platform is the Big Tech owners of Reddit. These corporate interests own all your posts, memes, and DMs, forever.

With federated platforms, the community leadership can easily backup, archive, or transfer everything whenever they like. That's the power of ownership.

I always loved the movie's art design and sense of place, but the plot felt a little threadbare. Sounds like the manga might be worth a look just to get a fuller picture of the world.

The pitch for Starfield seems to be Mass Effect inside an NMS-sized world. If they can pull it off, count me in. Assuming my system specs are up to the challenge.
