Yeah it sure does. Probably just because trans people specifically have been having a shit time lately with all the assholes.

So it’s nice to call them out specifically in a positive way. That’s my assumption at least.

Hold on. CASH PRIZES? why wasn’t I told!

It amazing me that this stuff is happening. For as long as I can remember, child labor has always been one of the things that ”THEY” do and it’s “just so horrible” aka “it’s my boogeyman to hate china.”

Now suddenly here it is right in front of us and the same people suddenly don’t give a shit.

I know there’s no logic to be found with many of those people, but it still just boggles my mind.

Teams actively makes my job harder. The one thing it’s supposed to do for me is help me communicate with my team.

the whole “conversations” instead of threads sucks. The fact that it brings a convo to the bottom if someone reply’s to it causes people to constantly miss messages in other convos.

I have to actively wiggle my mouse and click on stuff to get it to update and show me new messages. And even that doesn’t always do it. So I can’t just leave my laptop open and monitor it, I have to actively go click around every 10 mins to see if there’s a message.

it fails to send me notifications for meetings, and sometimes sends them to me like a hr after the meeting happened.

sometimes I’ll see a message on my phone (I have teams there only because the notifications are more reliable) and then I’ll go to the computer to respond and it’s just gone. Never showed up. I KNOW THE MESSAGE IS THERE TEAMS YOU SENT IT TO MY PHONE WHY ISNT IT ON THE FUCKING PC

The list goes on.

It’s obviously not Reddit numbers, but been a lot of posts about how much lemmy/etc have grown in the last week, largely due to the Reddit fallout.

Clearly it’s not going to replace Reddit overnight, but it’s made large strides very suddenly, and can def close that gap over time. Especially for people like me who enjoyed Reddit, but were just browsers, not really power users

My exact feels. I had never heard of the fediverse or whatever, and still don’t even know if I spelled it right lol.

But I just picked the first server that had a good amount of people on it, off a recommended list, and it’s been fine.

To sign up I had to answer 3 super simple subjective questions. Took 2 mins. Had to wait to get approved, but in the meantime I could still browse so it really didn’t matter.

To me, the hard part was learning lemmy/kbin/beehaw etc existed.

Gosh. Wouldn't it just be horrible if it was easier for people to participate in a democracy? Thank goodness for them stronk republicans! /s

Im pretty close to this as well. I think if they did a 180, and like, showed an ACTUAL attempt to right the ship, I would consider going back via Apollo.

But that said, I've been using Lemmy this week, and out of curiosity I've been comparing it with my reddit feed at the end of the day, and yeah. I really haven't missed out on anything important.

I mostly used Reddit as a way to waste time, or get info on the latest big things, like all the Trump stuff for example, and Lemmy is doing just fine getting me that kind of info.

What a nice guy, going so out of his way to help a new community grow!

This 100%. There is no shortage of physical houses. There is a shortage of AFFORDABLE houses.

I just went through the buying process. I don't make any crazy money, but a totally fine amount, more then a lot of people (65k/year)

That meant even with a sizable down payment that I was rather lucky to have, my MAX was 200k. That meant I could afford like.... 1/10 of the places for sale where I live.
