Leopard CEO: People must marinate their faces to make them easier for us to eat.

If you think about it further, everything is fire.

Yeah, it’s almost as if it’s people who were the problem all along 😀

“Everyone here is so much nicer than on <insert massively popular mainstream platform here>”

Haha, it only hurt because it was true. Hopefully it’s performing much better now.

Huh, we’re a meme already. All publicity is good publicity I guess.

I’m seeing three from Lemmy.ml atm so it does look like federation has failed badly at some point. (Also using Liftoff for its great multi-account support)

Yeah, this seems very unlikely to go anywhere other than in gaining media attention (which is a fair aim to have at this point).

Oof, that’s an aspect I hadn’t even thought of. It may well be a total bin fire.

I wonder if the Reddit board really appreciate how hard it is going to be to find large numbers of new mods. Being thick-skinned enough to cope with being hated by so many people for so many contradictory reasons while also being flexible and responsive and ready to plough through piles of work for free isn’t a combination of qualities many people have…

It’s welcoming but confusing. I think there’s two reasons for the latter:

1- Many of us forget how basic Reddit was when we first started using it, and the features we all know and love got added over time and repeatedly refined based on use.

2- Most of us here are because we have been users of incredibly well designed apps crafted by developers with a passion for great UI. If I try using the (new) Reddit site or their default app, I find myself equally confused.

There are still so many changes happening in Lemmy functionality, and as we’ve seen with Mastodon, we will hopefully soon be overwhelmed with great apps.

In the meantime there’s the great community already here and growing. I saw a comment that you can estimate that Reddit has 90% lurkers, 9% commenters, 0.9% posters, and 0.1% “community builders” I think it’s those latter groups who are leading the exodus, which is great news for us and terrible news for whoever ends up owning Reddit.
