Hm, I like this idea -- the content is what values Reddit.

I definitely agree with you and didn't mean to imply that the reddit community should just roll over. I was simply inquiring why so many think it'll be different now when there is history of Reddit not giving a duck, removing mods, and reopening.

Hopefully it will be different this time, but with Spez's focus on IPO and AI, I really don't see much going well for anyone right now. Tomorrow is just a day away, so we'll see where this roller coaster ends up!

This scenario has happened before, has it not? Why would anyone expect that Reddit will respond differently this time and walk back their plans?

  • searching for and sorting communities by some metric (like most subscribers)
  • ability to acknowledge pinned posts and fold them up or remove them from view (tired of scrolling past them)
  • a Share feature of a sort? I'd like to be able to "Share with..." and open a post (say, from a web browser) in Mlem.
  • more descriptive error messages when trying to log in (did the login fail because u/p is wrong or the server is fubar?)
  • filtering (blocking) communities should allow me to show either posts with those word(s) or posts without those word(s). As of now I think it's just posts with the defined words. Regex would be super!

This is my biggest complaint with Lemmy — I’m exhausted having to join the same communities over and over again. I wouldn’t doubt this could be a huge barrier to incoming refugees. Multi-Lemmy can’t come fast enough!

I miss /r/AppHookup. Everything else already arrived!

lol, yeah! I hated posting an even slightly unpopular opinion on reddit. Just downvotes and insults returned.

I feel like this article has as much fear-mongering as the adverts it's railing against! I agree with the article in that there are two big issues with using a VPN: 1) Cruddy VPN services that aren't worth the money, and 2) Users connected to a VPN don't change their behavior and give themselves away.

For #1, use a service that's been well vetted (handles DNS, IPv6 properly, doesn't keep logs, anonymous payments, killswitch, etc). ProtonVPN, Mullvad, iVPN are good choices imo. For #2, ah, see https://mullvad.net/en/help/first-steps-towards-online-privacy/

Oh, I gotcha! I thought you had some immediate knowledge I didn't -- the reddit thing has me a bit jumpy I guess. lol. Lemmy.ml seems pretty chill, that's what I joined here, so I hope it stays sane!

Are you referring to physical issues with Lemmy.ml, like staying reliable, or some future philosophical changes?
