Ooh, I really like “AutoVac!”

Exactly, agreed!

Even for a gamer like me, Bazzite ran so horribly on my PC that it wouldn’t even open a Steam window. I could right-click the tray icon and see the context menu, but actually picking any of the options yielded nothing; no window ever popped up. It was so frustrating that I left shortly.

Like, even just SelfVac or whatever would be good…

Ha, let’s hope that doesn’t happen here. This is genuinely exciting.

Frankly, I didn’t even know about this in the first place.

Agreed, selfish liars are always on the worse side of the moral scale, no exceptions.

But the whole federated structure is the avoidance of tyranny by nature. If an instance starts acting crazy, the others can simply unlink from it. “Too many” will never happen anyway because the interface is more difficult to use. We should promote it as much as possible, I believe.

Right, hence us being on here!

It blows my mind when people don’t acknowledge the legitimately cool corners of Reddit, like /r/FreeGameFindings. The content itself is not all bad there if you know where to look.

I feel like apart from niche communities, Lemmy now has critical mass to survive on its own!

Correct, RR has unusual exception because it’s the only blind-friendly Reddit app (which is legitimately amazing at that). And then other apps like the forked Slide (which I use) piggyback off of it, pretending they’re RR so that they can still function, too.

Huh, I… didn’t even think of that. I suppose people could download all the old content before this kicks in, at least, but yeah, that’ll be the loss of new stuff moving forward, unless people can sway them over to nsfwlemmy.

Wow, I haven’t seen that email. What country are you in, if I may ask?

Wow, I only knew of the p. subdomain, haha. This is great, thanks! That’s hilarious that they copied the same subdomain, even… I wonder how to tell if an instance supports it apart from just blindly trying.

I love how the GitHub entry just calls it “a familiar desktop experience” and nothing more. Perfect. 👌🏻

I use it while logged on to keep trying to sway people over to Lemmy, haha. After all, that’s how I found this place…

I know, but more people left Twitter after it became X, for example, so migration is totally possible.

I like your action-oriented thinking! However, I’m not complaining; I’m warning and inquiring. I also didn’t name/target any particular project; I was just thinking about the relative size of the two orgs and I find myself just generally living in the FOSS space and trying to encourage it as much as possible over for-profit in today’s era of hyper-greedy capitalists, more and more.

I posted here first to check why people aren’t moving before bothering to assist with migrations myself, and I’m glad I did because I’ve come to agree that due to Git’s distributed system, it’s generally not worth it and is probably good enough for devs to pack their bags quickly enough should Microsoft pull any further shenanigans. Should that day come, sure, I’d be happy to help!

I didn’t know the repo space was that different. That does play a factor in all this…

True, I always look for cross-platform ones whenever possible…
