Fuck Spez

iirc, he was modded by the actual sub creator as a joke. What's damning is just how long that sub was allowed to survive, and that it took news coverage to shut it down.
Not snappy enough for a meme though, and welcomes the argument he somehow didn't know.

The problem is that Reddit is the Titanic and Piefed is a tiny life raft.

Hey! Wait! They've got a new complaint.
-
OOTL - What did Reddit do now?
-
Had to look upnthe nirvana fallacy and it sounds about right.
-
PieFed and Lemmy are very comparable to reddit in its current state.
-
This meme should be about social media in general .

Then you best hold on tight and never let go.

Website works fine for me. What dumb shit are redditors saying?
Redditors will come up with 1000 excuses to avoid being healthier.
I don't go on reddit anymore but during the 3rd party app shift a lot of people complained about not knowing exactly where to sign up because they didnt understand piefed.social, would be able to see and respond to the same content as lemmy.world. Then people would scare them because they would say things like well this instance is all blank. ML is only Marxist Leninists and whatever else. Yet if users just signed up on .ml, .world, . whereever, they would have learned everything they wanted to in a short amount of time and subs would be more active with users so the whole "well they don't have niche things" complaint would have fizzled out rather quickly. And likely would have got a steady stream of users over time.
That's not what everyone wants granted, but in my experience setting up an account, using it and then finding an instance or 2 to settle in was simple. (Then you flip between them in your chosen app, which would have more funding and support do to more user base)
Yeah, a lot of people are "scared off" by all that talk about instances. If people knew that it didn't matter in terms of functionality and everyday use it would be a lot easier, perhaps.
Maybe it's a matter of us trying to distinguish between "infrastructure" and the use of that same said "infrastructure "?
Although, saying what instance one signs to doesn't matter would be lying. But saying it won't make much difference in terms of where one can go is true. Well, unless it is a problematic instance and the others defederate from it. See? This is why it ends up being complicated to explain when people don't know how it is supposed to function.
I think the important thing would be to educate people on federation and the nature of open protocols. And why it is a better shift from the current paradigm. A lot less corrupted with less perverse incentives. A return to the original promise of the internet, to be more fair.
I've been here for a while, and now I'm on piefed.social after the shutdown of lemm.ee. I can say the entirety of this space we're on is growing. Slowly, but it is.
Even on mobile, just turning the websites into webapps is a smooth experience... (currently using Firefox)
