That’s why I rely on Lemmy for my information about . . . um . . about . . .
Well. Owls. I guess.
And dull things.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
I wanted to post my photo in a dress on lemmy’s r/femboy alternative. Searched: one of the instance blocked, second one have 8 months gap between posts (basically dead). There whooping 2.5 users on lemmy, who are interested in femboys and I’m one of them.
While most people agree with you on paper - no one wanna switch, cause there no real alternative. Similar with google, youtube, windows, nvidia and all other IT monopolistic crap.
Agree i got banned on reddit and have create new account every once in a while then had to fight shadow ban , I wouldn’t think twice before switching but most communities that I follow specially local once are basically non existent only the super popular or some niches with technically sound user base were able to shift rest all stayed at reddit
It’s just inertia, nothing else.
Make your own community, start posting, promote it, and people will cum.
I meant, I like your joke at the end, but it’s not how it works. There literally no audience as for now, that willing to use lemmy in general. Some even moved back to reddit. Promote to whom exactly?
inertia, nothing else
Sounds like a copium in this context, considering that reddit still very active, while lemmy slowly dying
Dying only because people are giving up.
It’s not easy to set up brave new worlds. It requires time, unfortunately.
However, unless we invest in it, it’s never going to happen.
The tragedy of this is the tragedy of our age and that is if people and companies of people put as much effort into being good as they did into trying to appear good then they would actually be good.
There’s always been a short distance between SEO and manufactured opinion.
I got the new fitbit air, it came with 3 months of “AI coach”. To give it a try, I asked it how it detected my stationary bike ride, with only a sensor on my wrist.
It gave me a confident answer about vibrations, pulse, etc. I checked the linked source - it was a years old reddit conversastion about another fitbit watch, where comments were guessing about the automatic detection of workout types.
I turned off the AI feature.
I’ve been doing my part by telling a believable lie when people ask questions and then if anyone doubts me I insult them.
The day AI search responds to a users reply of doubting the results with something like “You are a fucking idiot” I’ll know my efforts were worth it.
I remember once I signed up to one of those things where you rank / select AI responses to various questions (i forget what it’s called it was basically a scam anyway). The last question was something specific about a world of warcraft item or something. I’ve never played the game so I googled it and clicked on the first Reddit answer.
Someone had asked the exact question being asked to me and the top response was something like "do the damn (aiRankingThing) yourself. And then there were loads of botted responses giving intentionally false answers etc.
Kind of realised then how easy it is to create complete lies on places like Reddit.
Also upvotes / downvotes are very easy and cheap to buy. You can change the sentiment of an entire thread for $10.
And stupid reddit is hell bent on stopping me from using reddit for one upvote i have to my post using alt
The few times I asked something to gemini it gave some bs response like "one Reddit user claimed… "
Hey atleast it’s transparent

I’m sure that sentence will make sense to some people.
All I do on reddit is post my “performance art”, have fun menacing dorks and on extremely rare occasions offer helpful advice
