I’m going to be honest, the whole blackout seemed pretty ineffective.
Also lmao at people complaining about the UI of Lemmy - did they fully expect a finished polished website to just be ready for us to migrate to?

Yeah, I'm disappointed by the community not wanting to go indefinite ngl
A 2 day blackout was never going to do anything. I'm a little disappointed that we (r/gunners) aren't extending it indefinitely. But it seemed like there wasn't quite enough popular support for it.
And yeah, that's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Turns out it costs time and money to build a site like reddit. Although honestly, most of the features that I personally miss are from apps like Reddit is fun or RES. Not so much from the main Reddit interface.
It's interesting how c/gunners has turned out to be one of the more active communities I'm a part of in Lemmy, looks like there's been enough of us who jumped ship (or at least tested the waters)
I kind of wish we had made it a 4 day blackout, just so it would encompass the beginning of the transfer window. We'd beat out every other Lemmy community no problem with the Rice memes alone
It should've been indefinite. It's also laughable that people think the Lemmy instance is a power grab, it's merely an alternative. As if people don't like to have an alternative.
Yeah RES is why I stay on old reddit and if it goes I'll seriously consider things simply because it allows me to tag users and keep track of people it's not worth engaging with, or if they're alts, or even just remembering who they are!
Yep. Setting a hard cutoff point of 48h limited the impact quite a bit. I’ve seen other subs go on “read-only” mode indefinitely and I wonder if r/Gunners would even entertain the thought, and should there be a vote for it I honestly doubt it’ll pass…
And yeah, Lemmy itself is just another platform like Reddit was before the little annoyances were added; most of what I liked wasn’t from Reddit but Apollo. Reckon Lemmy would do better once Mlem on iOS is out of beta or there’s a proper App around.
I ended up getting a tildes.net invite too. The UI is a lot more polished over there. But the devs are being really cautious with managing user load, so it’s not public/open yet.
The amount of spez bootlickers on Reddit actually supporting what the company is doing is grotesque. Have fun seeing "promoted" posts all over your feed.
I like Lemmy
There's definitely an 'old reddit' charm about it but like anything the users are the draw.
I am getting use to seeing the regular usernames that comment. It feels like we're a bit of a tighter knite community.
I like coming to this daily discussion a lot more than the Reddit one.
So how much of this Havertz thing is just smoke?
Starting to think there's something there but I doubt it will be quick. We don't really need him and Chelsea are going to try and hold ou for another buyer/more money so could see this one going to the wire.
Which as he's not going to be starting isn't necessarily a bad thing, either way you think we're going for Rice/Caicedo first as they will be starting.
I mean having him won't be a bad thing, but for that price I'm surprised we are actually in for him. If we do get him, I'm curious how Mikel is going to cook him.
The interesting thing about the quotes I've seen is '£60m "all in"'. Which suggests this is press fuckery to add more to the valu than they normally would when reporting a transfer (basically th opposite of how Haaland was done)
So assuming you remove bonuses for winning and who knows what else it could be considerably lower.
I'd take him at Jesus costs as he's not on his last year of contract.
@I_am_the_grass @EFG Could one of you sticky this post and unsticky the last daily discussion thread, please?
Edit: Don't know how to mention people in posts on Jebora lol
