The difference is the way it is run. You got it. And if one day Midwest.social starts doing things you hate and treating it’s users like crap, then come on over to lemmy.world or lemmy.ca, or one if the other thousands instances.

People hosting the database are not the owners of the platform unlike Reddit. They get to tell us how we can use it just because they host the database.

I was excited to see what it could do on my iPhones but so far I have not liked anything. The notification summaries are useless, for instance.

I do wonder if AI is being used in the background in ways I don’t see, but I doubt it.

So it sounds like they are codependent at this point. The bigger the nasa budget the better for space X.

Can Space X make the payloads?

They both shoot rockets up in the sky. Our government could pay NASA to do it, or pay Space X.

It’s happening. I mentioned in another thread that there’s a good severance community that helps me feel like I don’t need Reddit for a show for the first time.

Well, those things you love about Reddit have only been getting better on Lemmy as time goes on.

I think major Reddit news is absolutely relevant to the Lemmy community. If nothing else, it is a good reminder of what we want from our communities and why we are here and not there. In addition, it may lead to a surge in active users.

The Reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content and report potentially violative content.

I love how they refer to their corporate profit method as the “Reddit Ecosystem”

They make it sound like this is the universally owned and managed ecosystem that we all are responsible for maintaining and we all equally benefit from. The corporate overlords decide what they want the ecosystems to be, the rules, the content, the algorithm… All to benefit their stock prices and bonuses.

But all of a sudden it’s the community’s responsibility for maintaining THEIR rules for THEIR profit? How about fuck you Reddit.

I know this doesn’t affect me as I am plenty happy being on Lemmy, but the audacity still pisses me off.

Another thing is google results. When I want a recommendation for anything I will add “Reddit” to my query. This is because I know it will return great recommendations and conversations that help me decide. Hopefully I will eventually be able to just use Lemmy for this.

Also, more active users means more niche communities. I just realized there’s a Severance community that is medium active. One less thing I need Reddit for.

They roofied my drink.

I was thinking a profit sharing concept for the people running the sub would make sense. I’m sure that’s not what it is though.

Saying it runs poorly is a huge reach. Lemmy runs great and gives me 75% of what I wanted from Reddit.

I’ve never heard if this, but that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

I think it’s just disgusting to see these companies I am dependent on bowing down to Trump’s bullshit.

I’ve already deleted Google maps. Deleting calendar will be tough.
