Why would they be depressed and miserable? They’ve had a fantastical thing happen to them, once in a lifetime, even if it’s for a short little while.
Besides, the rats can just do what humans do when faced with mortality - pass down the torch.
Yep, 100% agree. Reddit’s biggest mistake this time is mishandling PR so bad that they basically gave Lemmy, kBin etc a seat at the table for free. And with the poor management at the helm, it’s going to be a pattern of bad behaviors and Reddit is bound to mess up again.
That’s one way AI-generated image leaves artifacts and clues. It could even be traces that cannot be seen by human eyes. There will be other signals and it will probably be arms race where forensics will improve, but AI will get even better, so on and so forth. Time will tell.
AI / Deepfake forensics will become a growing field.
For you and for me maybe. For many others, they are still happily scrolling away on the official app.
It’s hard to get an exact number but you can extrapolate based on the growth of Lemmy in the last few weeks. While not record-breaking, it is quite an impressive growth.
Also note that not everyone who left Reddit came to Lemmy. There is also Kbin, Tildes and alternative. Some never really left at all.
I think the real damage done to Reddit (ultimately by themselves) is showing the world that there are real alternatives (even if a bit rough around the edges). They are materializing and growing as threats and if Reddit doesn’t step up their game, they could be in some real trouble.
The other possibility is that some other company might step up and build a Reddit clone, much like what Meta’s Threads is to Twitter, once they see that there is blood in the water and a potential to displace Reddit as the “frontpage of the Internet”. Heck, even Threads is built on the Fediverse, maybe a bigcorp-backed Reddit clone might be as well.
It’s not just for Samsung phones, it works perfectly on my Pixel and Razer Phone as well. The Adblocking is okay but the design + the dark mode for all websites is the killer feature for me.

Simplified way to look at it:
Instance is like a server, it hosts your account and some communities.
Communities are like “subreddits”. It has to created / operated on one of the instances, but is accessible to all federated instances (which is largely the norm).
An analogy is email. You can choose your email provider (Gmail, Protonmail, Fastmail etc) and you will have an unique email address based on that provider (e.g. someguy@gmail.com is different from someguy@fastmail.com), but you will have the ability to send emails to anyone (unless you are blocked).

IMO Samsung Internet is one of the best Android browsers out there. Give it a try!
The answer is Voyager.
If you break pizza down to its simplest form - flatbread and toppings - it’s been around for a very long time.
Yes, but it’s a feature, not a bug.
It’s a super low investment and quick way to identify people you should avoid.
There is some support for lower income brackets but my personal opinion is there should not be “billionaires” in the first place, and that’s where the system falls short. “Billions” is an obscene amount of wealth to be had by one person.
Edit: Here is a visualization on how much billions of dollars really is. Truly mind-blowing.
Not income at all which and also the reason why it’s taxed very differently (and perhaps unfairly).
Income is your wage or the actual money you make from your business. Most rich people generate wealth via their assets (e.g, the stock / property they own skyrocketed in value), and these are only taxed when sold and at a much lower rate.
Their wealth is almost entirely in assets which gets taxed at a much lower rate compared to income, and only when they sell. And don’t forget about all the write-off, tax tricks their armies of lawyers and accountants can set up for them. So if you work for your wages then the system is definitely stacked against you.
They do not have a billion in “income” otherwise they’d get taxed up their nose like regular people do. Their wealth is in their assets like stocks and properties which gets taxed at a far lower rate.
Dammit they asked for a soy-oatmilk blend neutron star
In terms of data privacy it would become a nightmare.
However I think Zuck would be a massive improvement over spez in terms of strategy, diplomacy, PR rizz and general chill. And this is not a very high bar.
