deleted by creator

Already deleted all my reddit accounts and uninstalled Joey (TPA). I’ll be honest and say that I won’t completely stop going to reddit, but it will be pretty rare and just as a spectator. I won’t be participating anymore. There’s just too much information there right now and there are some subs i follow that probably won’t migrate here.

I agree. I’m on Arch and EOS and whenever I need a guide outside the wiki, 9.5/10 times it has instructions for apt. Makes me want to go back to Mint/Debian sometimes. Lol

We should move. Even if we did a longer blackout, the admins can just replace the mods of the bigger subs and ignore the smaller ones. Even if the blackout is effective, they will pull something like this again.

I’ve lost trust in them. I’m not going back except maybe for information if I really need to.

I saw that. That’s honestly stupid, imo. I mean, they can still track you and force feed you ads. Sure you can have an adblocker but that’s the same for mobile.

Idk why they’d do that, tbh.

Idk. I enjoyed it when it’s done well. I subbed to subs like r/redditsings because of it.

Oof… then it might not be the browser. Maybe an extension?

I’m really interested in running my personal instance. Can you point me to a tutorial on how to go about that?

This is why I’m hoping people stay even after the blackout. Lemmy has potential but a big part of it is the community. I already like it here and I’ve seen it grow despite being here for only a week. It’s honestly amazing to watch.

Hope it works!

I mean, reddit’s CEO used to mod that sub. Reddit and redditors were still fine after it blew up. Why are there different standards? The sub may have been banned already, but I doubt spez has changed much. Reddit admins have gotten away with a lot like editing comments, refusing to ban certain subs until there was media coverage, etc. Personally, I haven’t encountered any censorship due to political affiliations (yet). And if it happes, I’ll change instances.

They don’t control the fediverse just as much as they can’t control which instance I join/create.

Have you tried a chromium browser? I haven’t tried browsing lemmy on FF yet, but I never had that issue on chromium (Brave).

Yes. Definitely. I don’t mind the sub but don’t surprise with that crap on r/all.

Honestly, Jerboa in alpha is already better than the official reddit app for me. It’s no TPA reddit app, but the number of contributors (in github) has risen by a lot so I’m expecting/hoping development will pick up and it’ll get better fast.

I appreciate the community the most in here. They’ve been very welcoming and minimal, if any, toxicity.

Like someone has said, we’re in a privacy-oriented sub so it’s natural (expected even) to expect the hate. Edge/MS really is bad in terms of privacy. So I get the hate.

With that said, privacy concerns aside, I have to agree that its reputation is worse than it really is. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it, but my standard was IE so it wasn’t really saying much lol. It’s getting bad with unnecessary features, though.

As for being better than FF… well, of course in terms of privacy FF is still better imho. However, I rely on chromium-based browsers for work. Some internal sites I use for work simply don’t play well with FF. I do have Brave, but I sometimes use Edge as well.

Is there a good chromium browser anyone can recommend? Is Brave the best privacy-wise? Vivaldi?

I’m hyped. I like the direction they went with visually (G1 fan here lol).

I tried reinstalling the update and it became laggy for me. I just force stopped it then cleared cache. It’s working smooth now.

That’s… pretty accurate, ngl. Lol. I’ve played POE, GD, LE, D2R and that’s 0retty much how it is. The campaign is basically a huge tutorial.

Still, it’s fun for me to try new builds. And the feeling when you get a good legendary/unique that’s perfect for you character is pretty nice. But yes, it can get tiring. I’m taking a break from arpg’s rn.

I won’t be able to check this out. Would it be too much to ask someone to share if there’s any updates/info about Ghost Recon games? Thank you!

I agree. It’s nice to get feedback but in the end your experience with something will probably be the major reason for your decision.

With regards to the political stuff… idk. I understand where people are coming from, I really do, but my stay here hasn’t been tainted by political stuff from either side. I’ll try to judge them by their actions. They’ve been very objective as far as I can see so I have nothing against them.

Lemmy works for me primarily because of Jerboa.
