Yeah in the short month-ish I've been a part of a few different lemmy instances the level of "political empathy" has taken a nose dive in the past few days IMO. I think that sadly with such a fast migration from reddit the opportunity to form a different culture here is simply drowned out.

Can anyone clarify if this strikes down Biden's plan in it's entirety or just the lump s forgiveness? TBH I always considered the rest of the plan that fixes ballooning interest and unaffordable monthly payments the meat of this plan. The 10k is just meh and isn't really fixing anything long term. Would be really unfortunate if the former got screwed by the latter
I think the influx of people self motivated to leave reddit happened, yes. But there's a huge chunk still on reddit using apps that will straight up stop working, what then? Your primary interface with the site being gone is an even stronger motivation than leaving in protest.
Anecdotally I'm still using reddit today (albiet less) but once rif dies... Goodbye reddit I guess
I'll hop in and second this comment. Setting up a server could be a fun learning experience but I don't recommend you do this with the intention of using this as your 'production' lemmy or leaving it open to the internet.
I'd say if someone is planning to do this just create a new lemmy explicitly for this purpose. I don't think it would be healthy for existing communities if too many posts are just copied from reddit with no OP to engage with.
Reddit has more lawyers
