I agree. I am a very shy person, so, it is not easy for me to comment, even if it is anonymous. I always think that nobody is waiting to hear from me in the enormous stream of other comments that are there as well. At the same time, if by some accident someone actually reads your comment, I feel that if you have a different way of wording or a different opinion, your head will get chopped off.
Because there are far less comments here, I feel like I can actually contribute something to the discussion. And people seem to be just nicer and more willing to understand each other instead of just repeating the same stuff over and over again. I like it better here!
I might be a spiteful fucker, but I am going to wait for the API changes. Then use a VM based AutoGUI bot to randomly scramble stuff up, putting nice load on the site, all the while acting like a "real" person. Good luck restoring/countering that bitchboy spez!
I really wish Christen would reconsider or we could crowd-source"buying" Apollo. Nothing against Mlem (which is already very good considering how fast all this has been playing out)
Try Wefwef. I was hesitant about it because it’s a web app and because of the name, but it really runs well and is by far the closest to Apollo I’ve seen yet, both Mlem and Memmy are okay, but using Wefwef I keep forgetting I’m not using Apollo. And it is more full featured than either of the other two are yet.
I’m wondering if Reddit will just be a place for AI/bots to create/replicate content, and the people (read: “normies”/people who don’t care what social media website they use as long as they can consume content) there will be interacting with said bots. All that just to drive traffic and appease shareholders.
Not sure if I’m just paranoid or if this is the case. I know that there are cases like this, but I wonder how deep it goes, or if it has been like that for a long time.
Wellp, long gone are the days of me typing a question and ending it with “Reddit”, now it’s 100% Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon.
I've been alternating between Kbin/Lemmy and Squabble after generally being a lurker on Reddit, and the communities for both seem a lot friendlier and willing to engage in actual discussion. So much so that I've actually started posting/commenting.
It also helps that the top comments aren't all the same overused bad joke.
What the problem is going to be is attracting the average user. I'm an average, 35-45, mom, tech user. I am struggling on kbin so far. But I'll get there.
