Agreed. It feels like a bunch of people broadcasting to the void with megaphones. Threaded forums are 100x better

Yeah, it’s been in the news 😩 We broke the global average temperature record something like 3 times last week. The graph that accompanies the articles is actually quite scary

Non-competes have always seemed dubious at best. And even where they do exist, they have expiration dates.

100% impossible to not read it in the voice actor’s voice

I can’t believe I used to think he was a smart, interesting person. What an absolute buffoon.

Likely an overreaction to the current protests / social unrest / whatever you want to call it

The problem is it isn’t just data backups, it’s that one’s email is the backing account for many other accounts online either as a TFA or as the username for some site.

It’s tough. You’re having a rational response to a difficult future. But there are things you can do to at least help your peace of mind. Take news breaks. Meditate. Reflect on the things you are grateful for.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time… a long time

It’s easy to tell from fediverse observer stats that most of the new users aren’t not organic: new accounts is almost a couple orders of magnitude higher than daily active users

What I wonder is: what’s the motivation for these bot network attackers? Is it some script kiddie doing it for lulz? A reddit “nationalist”? Russia and China getting an early start on propaganda tools for the newer platforms?

That’s a great idea

Same here. I had used reddit since 2010 and must have had close to a dozen accounts. I didn’t like too much info piling up under any one account. And I used a local city subreddit a lot.

Use a pseudonym that you don’t use anywhere else and don’t dox yourself in your posts or comments

What a myopic ding dong

They can’t keep their story straight. First the protest is “noise” that will “blow over”. Now they’re forcing subs to re-open.

Look, even if the protest “fails”, they stick to the API pricing, and forcefully re-open subs, some things will be obvious and for everyone to see that weren’t before:

• spez is lying and isn’t trustworthy
• reddit cares more about IPO positioning and money than the health of the community
• people are willing to explore alternatives like this fediverse

Let’s lead by example

Could one move instances while retaining their own post / comment history? That’s the part that I’m unclear on (new reddit refugee here)
