I'm on .world and i can downvote on the voyager testflight app

Communities can be rebuilt, as we've seen. There really is no excuse at this point for those mods to not leave and start rebuilding somewhere like Lemmy.

Reddit will never reverse course. Maybe their goal used to be aligned with ours, but now they're just a massive corporation chasing an ever growing profit.

I'm non tech.

I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit's shit.

Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter

so to me they're both decentralized versions of popular social media

i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day

So what you're saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it's ok?

Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it's not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it's worth maintaining that.

Personally I don't like it because 1, it's redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.

Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it's brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.

Without it, it's simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.

Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.

Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid

Yes. I have a husband and a 16 year old autistic son (unfortunately he is very low functioning and does not really help with any chores because of that, despite his age).

My husband works 5 to 6 days a week, usually 12 hour shifts, sometimes if there's a 6th day it's 8 hours. I work 8-5, 5 days a week, but also have about a 45 minute commute one way.

Husband also has a large family and we have a pool, so right now at least one weekend day is usually spent hosting them for swimming.

My best strategy right now is that if I walk by something that needs doing and will take a few minutes or less to complete (think throwing away some trash, tidying the coffee table, grabbing all the dishes in the room and moving them to the sink), then I do it right then. It's not perfect and it doesn't take care of everything, but I'm hoping if I do it more, I'll be able to sort of stack things and do two things at once that need doing and then cleaning will become part of my routine.

But honestly I'm mostly here to get tips because my ADHD brain needs help.

Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time, I can rewatch it at any moment

Overall it's not really fucked up, it's not THAT crazy of a story, there are just some fucked up parts.

agreed. i subscribed to apollo for 99c a month, i'd be more than happy to keep doing that if it helps memmy flourish

fuck reddit, there need to be viable alternatives and memmy is creating a wonderful experience

Also Meta wants to join the fediverse with Threads.

A lot of it is just people talking about their social media ex, but it IS part of a larger discussion about taking the internet back from corporations.

Mods don't have a duty to do shit, Reddit doesn't pay them anything, doesn't even offer premium at a discount or anything.

Maybe if Reddit was more concerned with not creating a toxic hellspace, they wouldn't need to rely on volunteers to keep their billion dollar corporation running smoothly. Everything about this pisses me off so fucking bad.

Where do they get off saying mods have a DUTY to them, when they LITERALLY are volunteers and reddit gives them nothing.

And maybe if Reddit wasn't killing third party mod tools......like the moderation still isn't gonna be the same no matter how many people you appoint bc you killed the tools that made it possible.
