It’s a bit annoying that the Reddit mods are reopening the community after moving a bunch of people elsewhere. Now we have a Raddle, Lemmy, Discord, and Reddit 196 each with different moderators.

Considering the Reddit has almost 50 times the number of subscribers as the Lemmy, I would assume that will be the most popular one, though we will probably have a higher percent of active users.

I would hope that eventually the different mods of the different 196s could do some form of cross-site collaboration to have unity between the 196s but I don’t know what that could entail. Maybe the next 196 r/place could shout out the Lemmy community for example.

Also it is really funny to put a Lemmy advertisement on Reddit’s thing

This was such a bizarre move. You’d think if they bothered to make an ama, they’d use it to announce a compromise or something, otherwise why bother? What was accomplished by the ama on Reddit’s part?

I’ve noticed that Lemmy has a hard time federating to non-Lemmy instances. Looking up a user/community on Calckey/Mastodon shows a lot of posts and random things missing.

my instance doesn’t have or federate downvotes, so I don’t have to worry

“If you’re a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents. So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders,” he said.

“And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.”

Pro-business people always have the craziest ideas of democracy. Does he really believe that shareholders making decisions is, in any way, democratic??
