Not even a little bit

At my job we describe this as “centering divs”

This is pretty significant!

In a word, “Good.”

This is exactly the point, as we all know. Answers to every random question out there should NOT be a centralized single point of failure that can be captured and monetized. It should be distributed, archived, and made freely available like libraries.

Federated, I’d you will. 😏

Give it time 😃

It will. I’ve been on Reddit 16+ years and I have no itch to return or reopen the app. Meanwhile I’m getting nothing done for work because I have Mastodon, kbin, and lemmy open. The sticky/addictive power is here already.

re Squabbles: yes, hard agree.

re Tildes: yes, also hard agree. The invitation-only method of growing the community also is draconian and it’s going to hit all the scaling problems a traditional site does.

These and others are why you’re finding me with you here in the fediverse. I am with you mi beratna.

I want to add, that my wife has been a “scab” throughout all this and has been active on reddit, trying to show me memes and such.

The content she’s been showing me has been stale, old stuff I saw back in 2020. Same recycled jokes, same memes. Reddit is in a mode of hard cope right now and I doubt it gets better if we don’t return.

Squabbles seems to have not hit user critical mass. Tildes looks like it’s doing well.

The Lemmy + Kbin fediverse seems to be taking off like a rocket and has the best overall chance IMO of becoming the home for the best parts of Reddit’s community.

Obviously I can’t speak for most, but the most power we could get for my work w.r.t. slack and gpt is a knowledge engine consuming from our wiki and “public”/shared information channels.

It would be nice to have an AI coworker who knows the answers to obscure questions.

Yes, the web.

I hope the #RedditMigration sours adoption

I think you meant spurs lol

Anyway yeah I’m liking Lemmy and the fediverse so far. I actually prefer the UI/UX of https://kbin.social more for desktop, but Jerboa is great for mobile. If they stay actively in development it’s going to be hard to beat IMO

I’ve followed from Fark to StumbleUpon to Digg to Reddit, and now many years later, to Lemmy. I think the communities being spread across instances is extremely powerful for overall global community resiliency (if the separation is respected and we don’t end up with a bunch of duplicated “subs” everywhere).

I’m sure you’ve heard plenty of people say this today, but the one thing I feel the most is excitement. The chaos reminds me of the early-ish days (~1996?) of the internet when everything was discoverable and not already aggregated to be served up to you inbetween advertisements.
