Well, you pay with your data so there’s that…

People expect to switch platforms and immediately have the same experience there is mind-blowing.

We all spent 10ish years (!) tailoring our experience on Reddit. It’s no surprise that you can’t replicate all of that within 2 weeks.

No bullshit official app, no account, no notifications. Easy.

I think everybody checked the own posts for the karma they got for it. So I think it plays a huge role. Of course some people go too far and make it the only thing that matters about it. I won’t miss those people.

Paying a monthly fee and not even being able to see all content? No thank you.

The amount of content is already fine. You are actually able to have meaningful discussions instead of being comment No 1000 that nobody reads.

So they did something right for the wrong reasons and with the wrong measures?

Which, in this particular case, wouldn’t be a bad thing. Just integrate the community aspects into Google Maps, make them optional.

If you are a member of such a small community, be sure to create it here. Users will usually take a look at Lemmy and first search for their favorite topics. If they don’t find anything, they will go back to Reddit…

Not even fair. The Zuck is a robot he doesn’t even feel any pain.

It is a policy decision. And sadly, it is a pretty popular one. Rescuing these people would mean that the rescuing country needs to grant them asylum. Doing so would incentivize more refugees to choose this dangerous path as it would be a passage to Europe.

This is one of the reasons why the far right political parties in Italy are so successful. They promise Italians that they would stop this type of immigration. And the rest of the EU accepts this quietly because it solves their own issues with immigration.
