None. As long as it's "commercially available", their interest is no longer aligned with yours.

Also, unless you are running your own Lemmy instance, I question your assumptions that using Lemmy is actually an upgrade to privacy and data ownership. I heard this point a lot and I don't see the basis for this. Can you explain?

What the heck is AI Panic?

btw you missed Meta, they are very significant in the field of AI.

Why do you think it's so important for these subreddits to move to Lemmy?

Also, why do you think Lemmy is "better at privacy" than Reddit?

Yep, 100% agree. Reddit's biggest mistake this time is mishandling PR so bad that they basically gave Lemmy, kBin etc a seat at the table for free. And with the poor management at the helm, it's going to be a pattern of bad behaviors and Reddit is bound to mess up again.

It's hard to get an exact number but you can extrapolate based on the growth of Lemmy in the last few weeks. While not record-breaking, it is quite an impressive growth.

Also note that not everyone who left Reddit came to Lemmy. There is also Kbin, Tildes and alternative. Some never really left at all.

I think the real damage done to Reddit (ultimately by themselves) is showing the world that there are real alternatives (even if a bit rough around the edges). They are materializing and growing as threats and if Reddit doesn't step up their game, they could be in some real trouble.

The other possibility is that some other company might step up and build a Reddit clone, much like what Meta's Threads is to Twitter, once they see that there is blood in the water and a potential to displace Reddit as the "frontpage of the Internet". Heck, even Threads is built on the Fediverse, maybe a bigcorp-backed Reddit clone might be as well.

The answer is Voyager.

If you break pizza down to its simplest form - flatbread and toppings - it's been around for a very long time.

Yes, but it's a feature, not a bug.

It's a super low investment and quick way to identify people you should avoid.

I would ask a different question - is Mr. Beast a good role model for the kids or not? Whether he's a "good person" or not is largely irrelevant, the fact is he is doing good.

Personally I'm a big fan of his philathropy, but I don't think he makes for a good role model. He's found a way to influence and doing good for the world, but I don't think it's easily replicable nor should kids try to emulate him - because to be Mr. Beast, you need to be in the influencer / clout-chasing game, which can have roads that lead to success but at the end of the day, it's an endless game of trying to get eyeballs and capture attention.

I would encourage the kids to forge their own path and not necessarily emulate Beast, but try to make the types of impact he makes in the world.

Why are so many people rushing to turn Lemmy into the next Reddit?
