      I won’t. They’d have to fire Steve with no golden parachute, then maybe.

          Nicer in many ways but also less active. I find myself posting a shit ton more just to make the activity I want to see. I made probably less than 50 posts on Reddit in my 11ish years before I left. Now I make that many every 48 hours

            Same.

            I’m not a huge fan of lemmy, but I do like it better than what Reddit has become. If I had to pick today’s lemmy or Reddit from 5-ish years ago, I’d go with Reddit every time. But that’s not the options in front of me, so I stick with lemmy.

            I also post a lot, probably too much, because I want to see more content, especially higher effort content. I posted pretty rarely on Reddit, so this is certainly more exhausting to use. However, there’s enough people to make it worthwhile, so I’m still giving it the old college try.

              Yea, I just wish more niche communities would come to Lemmy, but most of the interesting ones are actively not tech savvy en mass, and so are lucky to figure out reddit I guess. Or Discord maybe, which sucks as a reddit replacement.

                Yeah, Discord is the worst for something where history is useful. It’s pretty decent for chat though, but that’s about it. But even then, I’d rather use Matrix.

              Lemmy might be less active but doesn’t make you feel like every contribution is rewarding someone who actively insulted and disrespected you and ruined something you used to enjoy. Big plus.

            I actually prefer Lemmy because it’s less active. I browse Lemmy’s version of r/All and I have more than enough content to keep me entertained for hours. Plus, when I find a popular thread, I can actually contribute to it and my comments aren’t buried under 10K other comments within a few hours. I feel like I can actually communicate with the community here, instead of shouting into the void like on Reddit.

          Agreed, Lemmy feels like “the old net” in the most refreshing way possible. I haven’t touched Reddit in over half a year and I feel better off for it. Feels like I can actually be myself here instead of trying to walk on eggshells to be part of the hivemind.

            Opposite for me, this place is way more left-leaning and if I comment like I used to on Reddit, the comments easily end up in the negatives

            The best part is the mods who don’t remove posts where people celebrate someone being killed, or suggest someone be killed because they disagree with them. The unfiltered bigotry is really the second best part of the fediverse /s

        I don’t really care how much Steve gets out of it, I just want a not-terrible platform. So I’m cool with a golden parachute if that’s what it takes to get rid of him and get someone better for the platform.

        That’s not happening though, so I’ll just avoid the platform.

        I don’t mind him having golden parachute- it is heavier and most likely won’t open.

        The AI companies will do that shit on Lemmy also. At least there isn’t a far-right Nazi getting money on our user generated content tho, unlike reddit.

          The profiteering and shitting on the community is what got me to remove my content and account. As an owner of the platform, they cant have it both ways.

        The fediverse is an excellent place to find training data for AIs. I would just set up a bot that follows a bunch of people and let them send their data to me, then I don’t even need to bother with scraping.

        They’re going to do that regardless, they’ll just scrape instead of using the API.

        I want an open API so I can use third party apps. I’m totally fine with them requiring an API token or something with a sensible rate limit to limit abuse by parties like openai (they’ll have to go through a sales contract).

      Not even the API. Just a usable page that doesn’t feel so broken and bloated.

            That ship has sailed, I thoroughly nuked an account that almost could have drunk in the us and I’d be fucked if I make another after the assholes restored my comments as by [deleted] or some shit and now they’re training fucking electronic snoids to parrot my wisdom and humor to obsolete me. It’s the principle I object to, I piss in this pot here knowing full well there’s runoff across the fediverse and I’d never be able to sponge back all the piss, but those assholes lie and steal.
