I usually don’t get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I’m on their side.

    I read some comments by them today. They are really trying not to burn bridges with reddit in fear that talks over pricing will cease. I could see how removing comments would make sense to them in that light.

      honestly reddit has been in decline for years, I really hope the fediverse continues to expand that’s the only way to put a stop to enshittification

        I agree. But like Twitter alternatives, two things are required. Products that that have feature parity and quick mass adoption.

        I have seen it happen twice to large sites. MySpace to Facebook. That happened fast. Then I saw digg to Reddit.

        Both those cases Facebook and Reddit respectively had feature parity(ones that mattered) if not more features. But as a heavy digg user, I still struggled with Reddit.

        Mastodon has struggled to get wide adoption and people are still using Twitter so I am not sure it will ever happen.

        I think if Lemmy wants to succeed and take market share from Reddit, the mobile apps need to greatly improve in the next month. I am not shitting on any of the current apps but they aren’t remotely close to having parity with RIF or Apollo. And that makes sense as those apps are really mature.
