  • All occurrences of Reddit place after the first were heavily botted. The first one was the best one IMO.

    I think this speaks to a general difference between Reddit and Lemmy that we’ve all experienced: on Reddit, you can participate with a massive community, but your voice will likely be drowned out by everyone else plus all the bots. On Lemmy, you have to engage with a smaller community, but you can be sure your voice will be heard in that community.

    With Reddit place, you probably couldn’t point to the finished product and say “that pixel right there is one I placed” unless you were exceptionally lucky. With canvas, you absolutely can, but as you rightly pointed out the work itself is less impressive looking.

    I notice they seem to have tried to address the bug with going back from a comment page to the fees page scrolling up to the top. But I think there’s a different bug now where if you go to a comment thread and then back out to the feed when you weren’t on the first page of the feed. Like if I’m on page 2 of my feed and click on a comment thread and then back out to the feed, I end up scrolled down correctly, but I’m no longer on page 2 of the feed. Anybody else notice this?





  • That’s a good point. Personally I like when there’s a diversity of political opinions that are able to have reasonable discourse. My favourite political subreddit for a while has been /r/stupidpol. It has lots of Marxists, but lots of internal variety in terms of viewpoints, and respectful debate has always been allowed there while also maintaining a lighter atmosphere.

    “Inertia is a property of matter” -Bill Nye the Science guy

    What I mean by that is that it takes a force to move a large mass. People behave in much the same way. It takes a push to get people to move in large numbers from one place to another. I personally have been philosophically very pro-fediverse ever since I heard about it, but I was waiting for it to reach a critical mass before really switching over.
