For my vim journey it was the draw of being able to quickly navigate and manipulate text without ever needing my hands to move away from the home row on the keyboard, and being willing to put in the time and effort to push past the learning curve.

Star Control 2 is the one I still come back to every now and then.

Given the "anyone can join in" nature of the fediverse, something like this was inevitable. I expected it to be at least be another couple of years, though.

There is potential good for this- a lot more developer resources going into this technology. And being open source software, there's a lot of ways we can potentially mitigate any damage if we have to. But... there's definitely a lot of ways this can go poorly as well.

Technically? Sure. But it would likely require rewriting a bunch of systems which would be pretty expensive and I don't know why Reddit would want to do that right now.

I think the community is much more important than just having more content. I would worry that by flooding Lemmy with Reddit's content without the community to support that content could drown everyone out.

Yeah this is why I haven't set that option that hides visited links...

Yeah. Reddit was never going to magically die overnight. If it dies, it's going to be a long and slow process. But that process starts with with some number of us jumping ship and focusing on bringing alternatives like Lemmy to life.

Probably good for the earlier puzzles. Some of the later ones can get mind bending.

The topic specific dedicated communities is what's going to make this difficult for me. So, like, all of the DM focused DND subreddits. Fan communities for books that I enjoy, for games that I'm currently playing.

For general internet scrolling, so far I think Lemmy looks like it'll do the trick.
