Maybe we should have this conversation in person so it can be a fist fight. in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

This is just rude office etiquette. By not indicating what the conversation is about in the invitation, you’re not respecting or valuing my time.

as a rule, if you feel the need to assume what someone else is saying? don’t! in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

What…. This is on par with any kind of internet discourse. It’s pretty much why I hardly ever post prior to Lemmy. It doesn’t matter how well articulated the post, SOMEONE will find the need to correct or clarify unnecessarily.

"Buttermilk" in quotes or imitation buttermilk/buttermilk substitute is what it should be called. Not that it's going to confuse any Vegans, but others may be confused with what's considered vegan/vegetarian/allowed etc.

They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub in c/reddit@lemmy.world

Wow, why am I surprised... They said they were going to keep accessibility for the blind, but it sucks so bad, it's useless.

So how long until the Fediverse is monetized? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Brave of you thinking that I don't have multiple Fediverse accounts. Buying those instances would be worthless, since users would just migrate to a different instance, even easier than moving from Reddit.

This is a great question. To add to this, what happens if/when/eventually there's enough users to warrant big players (celebs/fortune 500) wanting to dip their toes into Lemmyverse? I don't see this happening soon, but with enough growth, SOMEONE is going to want to reach this audience right? It'll start slow but if the trend continues, it's inevitable. Which is ok I think. The way I imagine it, celebs might have their own preferred curated/verified Lemmy instance. Maybe they'll use affiliate links for merch and promos?

TIL that 70% of US traffic on reddit is from users on a mobile device. in c/til@lemmy.ca

Back when I used reddit... weird saying I know, I consumed Reddit on my phone, my ipad, and desktop in various combinations, pretty much constantly. Phone/ipad during work, and additional desktop use after. Desktop using Reddit Enhancement Suite (unusable without really), and Apollo for mobile. Spez made going cold turkey on Reddit stupid easy for this heavy user of over 10 years.

It's like going to your favorite donut shop every day for a decade, where your on good terms with the employees, but the boss is shit but you hardly ever see him so it's ok. Then one day, instead of the usual server, Spez shows up, and hands you your favorite donut with a scoop of shit on top, and says that's how they serve them now. Yeah, I'll go somewhere else, thanks.

Opt In Soft Defederation? in c/main@sh.itjust.works

This seems like the user should just create a new sign in for the site if they REALLY want said content, instead of leaving it up for the devs to do the work. Like we do now.
