Oh please, buzz off with your faux-clever “all reporting is bad” cynicism. Do you really see no difference between what the NYPost publishes and other news sources? Yes it’s a corporate machine but you have to be willfully ignorant to think that WaPo posting anti-union editorials is in the same boat as NYPost clickbait

Yeah but that can be determined just by account age and number of posts, not by the public reception of those posts.

oh of course this one posted…

I’ll have you know the unposted one was better. a real zinger

I tried to comment but Lemmy kinda sucks and only works maybe 40% of the time.

Yikes. Asking all visitors to enter ID? They just don’t want anyone on those sites. You could just as well use a device-based age verification system and cut out a major point of access. Looking like Arkansas and Mississippi are following the South Korean model.

So far I’ve seen lots of discussion in AskLemmy and plenty of memes in 196 or 195

Nope, I’m seeing discussions unrelated to Reddit every time I’m on here. And there’s often more comments than I care to read! The main hurdle for me is the long load times and the inconsistency of the buttons.

But remember!

There’s never going to be a perfect alternative. No Reddit alternative is going to function the same as a massive 18 year old site from Day 1. It takes some time, some stress tests, some development, and some dedication. Just remember the shit they pulled to bring us here.

Half? Yeah right! Even if they were half the nation - which they aren’t - it’s gonna be like 90% in some areas and 10% in others.

Octopus are so precious.

it’s most dangerous to think you’re immune. it’s subtle enough to sway anyone in ways you don’t realize.

i cant remember the last time i saw anyone do ASL that wasnt in their 30s now
