Until there is a viable Twitter competitor, this will continue and people will keep using it.
There needs to be one that scales. Mastodon had its chance and it's clear people don't want it. Maybe the answer is Bluesky, but that's not going to happen unless they open up their doors.
I can't believe I'm rooting for Meta, but their Threads app might work out and it will be better once it syncs with ActivityPub.
That's the beauty of the fediverse. Don't like the server? Go somewhere else.
Everytime someone says this and manufacturers end up making a smaller phone... no one buys them.
Keeping the Planetside subreddit closed indefinitely is a bad move. This "protest" will pass like all the others and there is a decade's worth of content and history there that people should see.
Personally, I think these protests are hurting users more than they are hurting Reddit. But I'm fine with it transitioning over the Lemmy or where ever else, but discoverability is the issue there.
As an Android user, I have to say it feels nice to have iOS users begging for one of our apps for once...
I don't think people will be dragged kicking and screaming. They've seen the turmoil with Reddit over the past few weeks and are looking for alternatives. This could be good education for them, especially as Lemmy is a bit more confusing compared to Reddit.
Does 2FA work? It's a real janky implementation that doesn't even require the confirmation of a 2FA code before it's enabled. But I tried logging into my account using incognito mode and it wouldn't let me with 2FA enabled and I had the right code. I think this needs to be looked at before people start getting locked out of their accounts.
