$19 billion seems high.

And what does that make Android’s whole point? 😉

This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

Could they have handled this whole situation any worse?

Depois de um período de ajuste, será muito parecido.

Not federated. No point. Just giving power to someone else.

I can’t say I’m shocked, but I am disappointed. But at the same time - Lemmy/Kbin is the answer. This is the way.

Reddit is deaddit. Long live the glorious Lemmy-Kbin Continuum.

I think this is very disappointing, and exceptionally selfish, to split up some of the largest Lemmy communities while a mass Reddit exodus is ongoing. We should be sticking together and trying to grow the Fediverse as a whole, rather than trying to wall off any one single community at this point. That said, I hope this is the end of this approach, and that smaller instances, particularly ones that support a particular community won’t be pushed aside as well (hello from Lemmy Portugal).

I’m all-in on Lemmy and hope you all will stick around too. I blew away my Reddit account and all my post history today.

I hope that’s true. But on the other hand, these zombified “endless summer” guys are exactly who we don’t want to make the jump to lemmy, right?

Dave Chappell cocaine meme: Y’all got any more of them… shitposts?

Thanks for joining!

Looking at this thread in r/technology, it sure looks like most of the newer Redditors were just pissed by the blackout and don’t care about Reddit’s changes. That suggests to me that Reddit is beyond saving.

Fuck Reddit. But honestly I’m less and less invested with each passing day. I re-opened Apollo today and it’s already starting to feel old, foreign. I guess that means Lemmy is home now.

This is amazing news. I’m thinking we’ve reached critical mass where it’s going to be self sustaining and worth using.

Class act is a great way to put it. I agree, he’s a credit to indie developers everywhere. And actually his “take the high road” approach is such a contrast with Spez’s unprofessional behaviour, that it just serves to make the latter look even worse.

Thanks, I guess I forgot to link the source!

Agree completely, and fuck spez

Me too, but I think the Reddit and Lemmy APIs are sufficiently different that he would effectively have to rebuild most of the app. I have high hopes for https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem, I’m in the TestFlight, but it’s too incomplete to actually use currently. Still, I’ll miss Apollo itself far more than Reddit.
