A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

ngl, all this makes me want to go back to reddit

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's funny for about 10 minutes, then you realize it's all John Oliver posts, and it might as well be a private sun again. It's working. Lots of my subs are also paralyzed by reddit news and spez being an asshole, so there's not top much going on for my subs, save for a select few, like some gardening ones. Haven't found a replacement yet for those :(

Oh man there are tons of gardening communities on Lemmy, I saw them!

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Oooh, any succulent specific ones? I'm king r/Succulents a lot....

[–] reric88 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same, but I refuse to give them my traffic.

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yeah same I went cold turkey off reddit for like 24 hours before I realised not going there was a big improvement. Real shame as once upon a time it was a great place to get unique perspectives on interesting issues. Will be missed.

Well the people providing unique perspectives to issues have probably moved. So we move with them. It's not, like, reddit the platform was the one providing those perspectives.

And specifically this is the way that Reddit will stagnate and die.

By pissing off it's contributors and its whole community and them just cutting their losses and moving on.

I had a similar experience; Moved to Lemmy cold turkey and have only looked back to laugh
