This is the one I'm excited about. I switched from Sync to Boost and never went back as a redditor.

It's a bit like having a conversation with a toddler, to be honest. They'll link together concepts that have no business being together and speak as if they're the rational ones. It won't stay that way though—chat bots are evolving at a frightening speed because the capitalists have learned if you can pretend to be a person on the internet, you can buy votes.

You might like StoryGraph better for that. I switched from Goodreads because I got sick of all the social aspects of the site. I just want to keep track of what I've read and update it so I get a Spotify Wrapped like experience for books—StoryGraph offers that.

This guy was shopping around discount tickets in a way that makes it seem like his company was in financial trouble. Willing to take a $100K haircut on the ticket price just to get bodies on the sub?

Give Revolt a try if you want something that feels like Discord without all the bloat.

Check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. There's a version on Steam to support the developers, but you can download the executable for free from their website just like DCSS.

They tried to walk it back by only cutting deals with app developers that blind people rely on, like RedReader with its screen reading functionality. But that just highlights how selective reddit is being at working with third party developers. So fuck spez and reddit. I hope the blind community gets everything they meed from their Lemmy instances.

I switched away from Sync to Boost some years ago, but would happily switch back for a Fediverse app. Jerboa is okay, but it doesn't have the slick look I've come to expect from reddit apps like Sync and Boost.

He's a doomsday prepper with a massive bunk. He's actively driving society to the brink thinking bunker living is going to save him and his millions. All it takes is one trigger-happy shotgun wielder to realize your millions mean nothing. But always remember—he's hoping, expecting society as we know it to end in his life time.

My question is how long are they going to let him flounder as CEO? He thinks Musk is doing a great job at Twitter when in reality, there are so few advertisers on the platform that once you block the handful of Amazon bot accounts you have a basically ad-free feed. Before Musk took over, you'd see advertising from trusted brands. Now? It's a video of some useless junk and a link to Amazon to buy it—or weirdly custom t-shirts. That's not good business. Twitter is gasping and dying and the CEO of reddit sees it and goes, "damn, maybe we should be doing that?"

Yes the devs need to work on the multireddit feature that reddit themselves abandoned.

The spez articles are gross, especially the interview on The Verge. He's clearly salty at Christian Selig for building an app that iOS users prefer over the default reddit app. He rails against developers making millions on reddit's content. But its not reddit making the content. Reddit is a content aggregator. Stop aggregating your content there. Stop consuming it there. Reddit dies without its power users.
