4th gen I7 was like what? 9 years ago… How dare they!

I look forward to my beef stroganoff notifications daily.

To add on to that. Their enhance playlists or similar songs found at the bottom of your playlist page can be really relevant and I’ve learned about a ton of new artists that way.

I like ipas. Citra is my hop. I’m sorry my preferences of drink is annoying to you.

They are out there… I was doing some exploring of instances the other day. If you look at what instances are blocking it’s pretty easy to see what is out in the fediverse.

I’m a android reddit is fun user for at least ten years and old.reddit… I am surprised how much I like the Lemmy mobile interface just in browser. Desktop is ok but I have some complaints (centered, not utilizing the width, too much padding on elements). Tried the beehaw themes available, none that worked entirely. The default is totally usable, I’m just being picky. I tried playing around with custom styling but with the modularity of the css it wasn’t easy to do just poking around for 15 minutes.

A DMCA method, Privacy Policy and even a TOS is what is needed to make me feel more comfortable here. Right now, you have no idea what the plan is for your data (and its rentention), data collection, etc. I might dig into the lemmy code and see if I can sus it out myself if I have time.

For sure, reddit became less transparent with the data retention the further their success increased. In the past they claimed that ip addresses on your account would be removed after 100 days except for the signup IP. I did the GDPR requests for all my old accounts. I have one remaining that I deleted all the content off of until I was permenantly done (which looks soon now).

I just really dislike being targeted for ads and tracked for companies purposes to “advertise” to you. I run a dns sink hole, VPN, ublock on all my devices and I know it’s still impossible to be truly anonymous online without being a weirdo and unable to live modern life.

I’m the sameway. I use firefox exclusively and have for years, love it, began using their password manager for a few years now and I’m thinking about an alternative to that I manage. I’ve already been a part of huge databreaches. I would sure hate for my passwords to be out there. I mean, it’s dangerous AF.

Right? It does feel nice at the moment at least.

To me, day 1 here, it feels like a niche subreddit about something you enjoy but that’s the whole platform. The federation and the ability to have multiple of the same communities moderated differently is intriguing idea to me. I think reddit’s troubles began ultimately with it’s popularity. More content, less quality, more of an inclination of reddit for monetization. This is going to be an interesting month that will test the capabilities of this idea we are participating in. I feel like it is entirely possible but I hope that not too much strain is placed on each instance operator and their mod team. I want to be somewhere to anonymously socialize without being the commodity. I do have some concerns about Lemmy, primarily, it’s lack of a privacy policy and a tos. Really my concern is, if I delete my account for example does it and my content also get deleted? What’s the data retention policy? We are seeing this federation could easily be made into a archive like what pushshift for reddit l became which was a major frightening idea that everything you ever posted or commented was archived without your consent or knowledge. This truly is the wild west right now. It’s exciting and I’m glad to be here. Just want some understanding of what we are signing up for. Lemmy’s dev did say there is no logging of your IP address anywhere except web server logs which is to be expected.

Reading this whole comment thread felt therapeutic somehow. You all get it.

Same. The upcoming API change was really just the final straw that I felt personally that the reddit that I’ve used well over a decade was no longer where I wanted to be. I didn’t want to become targeted and used for someones profit (with the upcoming reddit IPO). Really I’ve felt that way since the redesign and the official app came out. Just finally was bothered enough to make the switch.

What don’t you understand about “Consume” OP? lol. Wholly agree with you.

I sense something, a presence I have not felt since…
