Maybe I'm wrong, but I assumed this is more a concern for mastadon.

Running a social media company is not at all like running a normal tech company. It's one part technology, but it's one part psychology. He doesn't understand the psychology part whatsoever. He doesn't understand stand why people choose to engage or not engage with a community. He doesn't understand how and why Twitter became part an important news and information source and all of decisions he's made so far have reduced the relevance of the product.

Twitter verified status is there to help people trust Twitter, not just the person behind the checkmark. Now nobody trust your product. It also doesn't take a genius to understand that limiting access to your product makes people use it less.

@McQueen also trying to figure this out

Liking it a lot so far. I'll be able to stay here 100% reddit free if my sports communities ever come over.

Just need a kbin app. I've been splitting time between kbin and Lemmy and I was using kbin way more over the last couple weeks because the site is better but now the Lemmy apps are getting really damn good so I'm finding myself using Lemmy more suddenly. The post or filters or something just seems better on kbin. Also the nsfw rarely shows up in my main feed. I prefer to go out of my way to see that stuff.

Probably wanted to make an example out of the boss.

If the docile sheep up North don't go for it, then there's no way the slightly less docile sheep South will go for it.

What kind of facility ask for a diagnosis before care. You tell me if I have a UTI.

Didn't you hear? Anytime there's more than 5 users we're doomed. We should all just be posting to small 3-5 person communities.

draw users in with piles of money and way better exposure, then get everyone on board with your well ran service with good ui and 100% uptime. Play nice with everyone else, meanwhile gaining dominance on the fediverse. Get a very large userbase in comparison to everyone else. Now, once you gain that dominance, you basically control the fediverse. You can steer it anyway you want. You could even defederate with your userbase and enjoy your new found network built on the back of the community.

Not sure. But I am still using Apollo and I don't plan on downloading the official app when it dies so at the very least, I will go from 70/30 fediverse to almost 100 percent fediverse.

I'd rather federate with Google plus. I need to get back in touch with my old circles. ;)

I think the main issue is the growth isn't linear. It's sporadic. Usually a big bump after every Reddit fuck up. Lots of bumps lately. Another one coming on the 30th.

 

Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

Is it possible to collapse a tree of comments?
