According to the comments, some people did!

There really is no comparison, Tildes has a few hundred to thousand active people (looks like about 20 posts a day… across the entire site), and is run by a single guy with very particular ideas about what people are allowed to say and do on his site.

Lemmy meanwhile has roughly 50k users and I would guess hundreds to thousands of posts per day, even if not millions like Reddit that allows more niches to develop.

I dunno… every mainstream normie I’ve ever told about Lemmy gets enormously turned off by the tankie content here. Yeah you can block it, but why should they when Reddit caters to a more centrist audience, they seem to think. We are a Nazi bar here and that’s going to be a problem for a long while.

It didn’t help that I did not realize that a Google search pulls up Lemmy.ml as the top instance, and that it shows only Local content by default to a guest user. Thus it substantially helps to point to a specific Lemmy instance rather than tell people to check out just “Lemmy”, although lemm.ee was one of the top recommendations there so now that’s going to be confusing when people read old posts and comments.

Not really: the Export+Import feature should make migration a breeze this time, and you’ll still see all your old posts and stuff (you won’t be able to edit them anymore though).

Switching from centralized Reddit to decentralized Threadiverse will never need to happen again - I even switched away from Lemmy to PieFed (when the Import feature hadn’t been implemented yet) and it was still much easier.:-)

Mods especially had a harder time with the official app, so a lot of us left in solidarity with them & the app devs. :-)

sopuli and sh.itjust.works as others mentioned are good. I wanted to add a shout-out for discuss.online for anyone in the USA with fantastic uptime stats.

Also I’m a huge fan of PieFed, well worth checking out.:-)

Y-y-yeah that’s exactly what I meant, how did you know?! 🤔 😅

Yes. And in no way would it be haunted. Nope… nope… oh fuck it’s haunted isn’t it?

Don’t forget dreaming of the honies 🍯🐝🐦

Nuh-uh, no way! I… think? 🤔

Obviously this is clickbait, but a fun read nonetheless. The comments too:-). No it’s not “the same exact plane”, it’s rather the same type (model?) of plane.

It needs one more home layer so that it can reach home-ception!

The hubris of that statement could only come from a physicist! We would indeed have a foundation upon which to understand everything many things, if only we could keep up with issues like scale, events happening far away, and historical choices as you pointed it.

Especially you know that’s stupid:-P

AI as in “Artificial Intelligence” has existed for decades and is quite useful - and specialized uses of LLMs can extend that. Although AI the buzzword for “generative intelligence” is new, and often wrong, being built to give the form of an answer rather than the reality of one.

Except AI is random so we can’t assume that it will offer the same answer on each side? AI causes the normal rules of math (and facts) to break🤪🤯.

I would argue that the choice of L- or D-molecules is not a physics question so much as a chemistry/biology one.

There used to be a flurry of them a few months ago, and I didn’t block anything but I haven’t seen any since. I suspect they were simply testing to see if it worked, which it did but it’s annoying so they stopped? :-P

I don’t see how that would accomplish anything though? On PieFed it would work, or an app like Sync or Connect that I thought people don’t use much anymore, but in base Lemmy all it would do is mute the communities from that instance… which since Mastodon doesn’t have communities should still allow the users to ping you endlessly, generating notifications each time?

It looks to me like you did it right.
