    I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.

    First post here!

    As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.

    When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.

    What’s to stop a single Lemmy instance from going “this is taking too much time and money to run, I’m shutting this server down”? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it’s all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.

    What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?

    Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.

    This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg’s terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.

    After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.

    I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.

    Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you’re banned. You can’t have a discussion there anymore

    To all my Apollo refugees that are struggling with the interface. wefwef.app is basically a clone of Apollo for this site. The name is shity but it works great!

      By “this site” you mean Lemmy, I take it? Kbin apps are all still in early testing stages, as far as I’m aware.

        Yeah, judging by the fact that I’m not seeing an @ on their profile, they’re a lemmy.world user, like me.

    Honestly seeing all the corpos ruining the platforms that are what they are because millions of people contributed to them. Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. give so much power to their owners yet they don’t realize it past their next dollar. I think internet should have always been a fediverse instead of what it has become.
