Yes we are saying the same thing, mass adoption that was for this moment in time at that price point.

Lower the price point and it will be more common, essentially when it’s no different than the price of a laptop.

I don’t see mass adoption at this price point. What’s the point?

I really don’t see the productivity sell. I do see it as functional entertainment to get more use out of an 800 square foot apartment in NYC. If my partner and I disagree on something entertainment wise I can throw them on. That’s about it…

Depends on the subreddit and how the mods reacted.

For mainstream users nothing changed. There’s two subreddits I stay active on. But I’m trying to make a point to make keep creating content on activity protocol.

Reddit protests so I migrated to try kbin, lemmy, mastodon. Learned about fediverse, activitypub - than down rabbit hole to open source communities, then open source software…moved to linux and it’s a whole new world!

Will be interested to learn about the new generation of Cuban immigrations vs those of the past - most already in the US grew up with memories pre Castro, young ones now might be quite removed?

Amazing…thank you for sharing!

“I want to go home and rethink my life choices”

Extremely helpful! Thank you for the explanation!

Can someone please explain? Out of the loop and don’t want to open Reddit

Thank you, this makes perfect sense.

I needed an objective answer to “down brigading”. I have enough common sense to know the community topic is inherently contrarian, and predisposed to downvotes if it was sorting by all and new. The scenario of people disagreeing and downvoting, was also my natural conclusion. I’ve been working on other development/ server projects to contribute to the fediverse that are technical and it’s a learning curve.

This question was minor, but I had a panic button moment of “ what on earth did I miss now!? Did I miss something on the documentation for the moderation log!?”

Every interaction I’ve had on Lemmy has been extremely positive. But I’d be an idiot to not automatically think it’s the content of the community, duh.

It was fine you took the community topic into context, but you didn’t need to be rude, the cursing I don’t think helps in the support part in the name of the community we are talking in right now. For what it’s worth, being rude and adding unsolicited commentary is outdated.

Thank you for the actual helpful part of “there is nothing to worry about on the backend, carry on.”

Edit: I was too “apologetic girl “ in my first reply, New Year’s resolution to not always add “lol” and unnecessary “sorrys”

what if he already is a force ghost 0_0

FB was only for college kids, now it’s for your grandparents.

Absolutely tick those boxes. And it makes perfect sense.

That’s a great idea to link to Lemmy.world, I could make like a little intro welcome card with the tips we picked up to get used to this world

AOC does turn 35 on 10/13/24, one month before the presidential election

I missed a niche community of mine. It’s a ghost town, but I talk to myself and I see the lurkers lol one can hope. Post and the will come.

Isn’t she eligible to run herself now? Things can absolutely get worse but can we try to have some imagination? Sigh

Ahh the future satisfaction I’ve given myself to me by being able to say 10 years from now “there were no posts! …no one knew what an instance was…” and hopefully it was still be good and that day im acting holier than thou

I think there are multiple illusions into using one community. I don’t think people do. The average user love instagram when it was for sharing photos, facebook before it was for grandparents, vine (now tik tok) when it was for funny clips, youtube for silly content, reddit for thread format speaking, snapchat for stupid private chats. If we are talking about centralized communication I’m not so sure that is the case either. The reason all of those platforms I just mentioned got ruined for the most part is being of the growth of influencing and monetization. Once capitalism came in it completely changed the original intent of why the user liked those platforms, I doubt most of them even remember why they liked it when they joined it changed so fast. What people want, without actually realizing it, are the same services without the garbage product they’ve excepted and its turned into.
