I think it's a tactic they employ to make you wander their store and stay longer so you will accumulate impulse purchases. Just like the grocery, they properly under staff the checkout counters to make you stay longer and buy the displays on the checkout counter.

Just shop online.

Not just nuking the donald community. But banning each and every subbed community member. Else they'll still be there, roaming the instance and spreading malicious ideas.

I'm in support of temporary defederation, if just to hold out until better tools come around to moderate things coming from outside Beehaw.

I've visited Lemmy.world and there are people there mocking other instances for having a tighter registration policy and not having an open registration. They say we are gatekeeping. But even if we try to explain, I think they wouldn't understand what the reasons are.

Frankly, they are chaotic there. I will be eager to watch the developments in the coming weeks.

Some people may never return to Reddit, some will maintain a Reddit presence while simultaneously having a presence in Lemmy and other forums. Then slowly, they will be able to discern the difference in quality, and maybe leave Reddit for good.

So it is very important to have each of our Lemmy instance population have meaningful contributions and keep our boards alive and maintain some semblance of quality content. This will end Reddit. If others have better quality as compared to Reddit, then Reddit will be doomed.

It's okay to not be a successor. In fact, I know one of those you mentioned actively rejects being treated as a Reddit alternative.

The important thing is they exist and have a sizeable footprint where people could choose to spend their online presence and contribute. This makes Reddit less of a monopoly and erodes its hold on users.

I do not want another Reddit. Seeing how bad it became. I want a community with its own flavor that is distinct from Reddit. That way, however, I might feel or whatever my mood is for that time of day. I could choose where and what culture to interact with. These instances and new forum give me the power of choice that Reddit has tried so hard to withhold from us.

Didn't they ban the first r/ineeedit because of exactly this?

A roulette would be nice, the system balances the load of each instance. The downside of this is that it will negate the theme or purpose of the instance since the assigning of the members would likely be randomized instead of joining by choice of instance values and purpose.

The thing is. If you're in a tropical country.

Yes that's it. The sweat, the rashes. The smelly goggles from the dried sweat.
