Do you?

This is a good thought but a bad post for YSK

Didn’t they just fix all of this mess a few weeks ago? Or did that just introduce even more inconsistencies?

Improving my work emails is 99% of what I use ChatGPT for.

The issue becomes the sale/profit of selling access, such as with GPT-4 right now. Indexing/archiving and selling are two very different beasts.

ProtonVPN and AirVPN off the top of my head.

It used to be worse!

I’m more concerned with the fact that they’re removing features without reducing price or making up for it elsewhere. I have no desire to support that business when there are perfectly fine alternatives.

What I’ve seen others recommend, and I think would have helped, is the ability to ‘port’ to another instance. So it can just be “Go create an account at lemmy.ml. Don’t worry about the instance, we can always port later if you want”.

I know now it doesn’t really matter (and have accounts with all the big instances) but I agonized over what instance to join at the beginning because I didn’t KNOW it didn’t really matter.

The ‘port’ ability also seems like something that is just a good idea in general, so I believe that to be the best option (that I’ve seen).

undefined> I disagree that it was harder to sign up for.

You are correct, and I misspoke. By ‘harder to sign up for’ I was referring to not just the actual sign up process, but the steps involved before the actual sign-up process (deciding on an instance, which itself requires learning what ‘instance’ means, as well as at least some research into what federation is, and what the differences are between instances).

I blocked reddit the day they announced the API changes, so no problem there!

Fair enough.

What do you propose? Lemmy is significanly more difficult to understand, sign up for, and use, with far less content than Reddit. And the majority opinion seems to be ‘fuck those kids that don’t understand how to use lemmy, we don’t need them’.

Lemmy is something like .02% the size of reddit

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

Voat was about 50% fatpeoplehate, 35% T_D, and 15% ‘free speech’ enthusiasts. The 15% were quickly pushed out by the overwhelming amount of content generated by fatpeoplehate, but eventually they got tired of posting the same things over and over and only T_D was left.

The delivery person thought the very AUDACITY to ask them why they’re there was racist. It happens all the time.

“Hi, can I help you”

“What, you don’t think I belong here? It’s because I’m black, isn’t it you RACIST!”

It’s super pretty and easy to use compared to kbin/lemmy and I think that alone is going to get it a lot of traffic. Which is great, anything to make it easier for users to leave reddit.

Unfortunately it’s pretty much only cat posts and calls to make sure nobody that’s not part of the reddit hivemind is allowed to exist there.
