I kind of alternate between VSCode (well VSCodium) with the Vim extension and Vim with CtrlP, GitGutter and Fugitive.

Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout “will pass” in c/technology

The question is whether a significant number of mods will stay away from the platform, enough to affect the quality of the experience for the run of the mill reddit visitor. If r/popular starts to fill up with trash or fash then the platform will start to look less appealing to advertisers.

But that might not happen. Mods might return in the most part and Reddit life will go on. In that respect the blackout itself is just noise. The real decision lies with the mods. Their work makes the value proposition to advertisers.

How have you found Lemmy as an LGBTQ+ person? in c/lgbtq_plus@lemmy.blahaj.zone

That's my favourite thing about the fediverse too.

That does sound a bit more positive than my experience.

How have you found Lemmy as an LGBTQ+ person? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I abandoned Reddit over the weekend in advance of the blackout. As a trans woman, I tended to keep myself to myself in some very subject specific subreddits and avoided anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment for the most part (although certainly not homophobic language). Not ideal but it was manageable.

I was wondering how everybody in the same boat as me has found Lemmy? I had relatively high hopes given my positive experiences with the Fedivers in the past on Mastodon instances. Most there had pretty progressive stances even if they were not specifically LGBTQ+ focused.

Anyway, I lasted two days on lemmy.world. I wanted to be positive and explore and engage widely but there was zero action taken on slurs and transphobic concern trolling comments. Then the parental concern posts from other instances started popping into the All / Active feed, and I figured there was little chance of seeing any instance defederations happening. I could only see one defederation listed total.

I suppose I could have stuck it out for longer. The trouble is I have seen all of this before many times over. So here I am on lemmy.blahaj.zone instead. 💚
