Of course not. India used to be secular. the far right Hindu extremism is taking over. Also it's so good to be able to post this and not be trolled by pro Modi trolls. The amount of concentration of power due to lack of alternatives is so scary.
PS: I'm an Indian who now lives in Australia.
Let’s just bet on a replacement for Reddit. It has run its course.
It depends on a lot of factors, depends on twitter response and what the mods chose to do about it.
Personally, with the twitter shenanigans, I stopped paying for their blue thing and don’t use it unless someone links to it. So my Twitter usage has down to the floor.
I may take the same approach to Reddit. There is still time to change course, but I’ll go where the crowd goes, and keep tabs on alternatives. I will stop paying for premium and don’t open it as much, and hope Lemmy keeps me occupied enough.
XMonad. Been using it for almost a decade, and very powerful. I3 I hear is also good.
FYI I have been using the app Mlem that works with Lemmy on iOS! It’s clean, looks very much like Apollo and very reliable. Highly recommend it.
What’s the Lemmy equivalent? I’m still new and figuring it out here.
so true :) I was explaining my missus about the blackout and she thought that meant I will have more time(Reddit is top of my screen time) that I can use to do other things, little did she know that I’m going to be wasting it on Lemmy lol.
I honestly thought this would reduce my screen time as Reddit is on the top of the list. But here I am at Lemmy lol.
New user,how do I donate / tip to help you peeps cover server costs? It wasn't directly obvious how to do it; apologize if it's a big button right on a page that I missed.
Long time Reddit user; new Lemmy user. 14 years to be precise. I'm already loving how good the community is and how positive the content is without all them bots. I'll do my best to contribute!
Just to clarify, the lack of alternatives creates a vaccine creating an almost defacto win for Modi et all. that's the part of democracy collapsing
