Writing the exact link will make it a link, just like it did here. Then that link gets recognized by the filter and taken out. Gotta go joinfediverse dot wiki or something like "just Google the Fediverse"

Yes, exactly!

I thought we were done beating the dead horse of flying cars.
This story is big enough that NPR cares to talk about it?
Ha! I wasn't trying for that outcome, but it sure worked! Even for me reading my own comment, it runs off the screen
Commenting from Kbin on Firefox, where I have to rotate my phone to landscape orientation to read full comments. If I keep it in portrait, some comments will randomly run off the side of my view, and zooming out doesn't help.
It's not perfect. I'm very much hanging in there until some sort of upgrade comes along. Lemmy.world has been unable to get me signed in, so there's that.
Time to go write posts and upload pictures that have nothing to do with Reddit.
RIP
I thought I'd check it one more time this evening, but no. Nothing there.
I was about to make a post like this. Trying to explain this whole situation to someone this morning, and found myself feeling way more feelings than I expected to feel over losing an app.
But it's more than an app. For the last 7 years, it's where my nerds hang out. It's where I could get actual humans responding to weird questions.
It's also the place where I often got shouted down and told in many ways that I'm stupid.
I expected these two things to balance each other out, but no. I'm sad to lose Reddit, upset that the reason is greed, and a little apprehensive about relying on Kbin for all my forum contend from now on. It's been great here so far, but I'm only just getting started.

I have been trying to work out how to write a post like yours for a while, but I don't have the insight or experience to make it nearly as good. So thank you for putting this out there.
Many of the differences are what makes this place great. The tension that leads to seeking the common ground. The threat of being disconnected that keeps things civil even when there are disagreements. The way memes are enjoyed but as a side. The distinct lack of monetization.
Some of the "faults" that newcomers complain about are important features that align with the core beliefs this place is built on. Some are unfortunate side effects that aren't going away as long as the values stay the same. Some are just issues that someone meant to get around to but for whatever reason they haven't yet.
