A hell of a job. I took the lazy way out and just deleted all of my contributions, and will be GDPRing whatever’s left or restored in a while. New platform, new content, same mind and fingers.

Reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, multiple clients blooming, nodes welcoming the exodus, the fediverse is thriving. Might be the one thing we can show spez some gratitude for!
I like the way you’re thinking, I certainly lack a bit of perspective after all that pessimistic-driving reddit ruckus. Gotta shed those old habits and reflexes.
Still, the worrying proportion of users ready to renew the “feed the beast” experience raises some concern. Rejoining @timewarp here, we have to inform people and spread the good news.
There’s something I find quite concerning: on a recent poll on r/redditalternatives the “best” alternative by a large amount is squabbles.io, then beehaw, fediverse “regular” instances (kbin, lemmy) only coming in 3rd and 4th position.
If that poll really reflects the opinion of the average reddit Joe (I tend to take external polls with a grain of salt as they can easily be brigaded), not only people are voting en masse for a centralized solution - again, but also they’re favoring the maverick fediverse instance over proper ones.
Even more concerning, this snippet taken from squabbles.io’s privacy policy:

Let’s start with relatively mild moods. Of Monsters and Men have a few songs with nice buildups. Dirty Paws for instance.
Midlake’s Young Bride might also be worth mentioning.
Probably unexpected, but she is definitely crazy (in the best possible way): Aurora - All Is Soft Inside
Also her direct relative (musically), Bel Canto - In Zenith
On to rock now, three songs with incredible buildups I cannot help but recommend:
Thunder Road, covered by Tortoise and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy
Dancing With The Wind - Days Of The New
Pain Of Salvation - Her Voices
