Seriously though, how does it work? Is there a way to not have the “you must sign in” warning?

I’m sure Google will find a way to kill that too

Well its nice to be able to have access to the platform from different instance. But its still annoying to have to resign up if the admins piss you off. They need to develop a way to switch instances but keep your profile/history. I had to get off Beehive when they defederated from lemmy.ml and I’d rather keep everything with me.

It felt like early reddit while it lasted. Lots of positivity and you started to recognize the usernames. On reddit I was a lurker, but I posted quite a bit on Squabbles. I’m already nostalgic about it lol

He clearly cares more about his idea of what the site should be than he cares about what the people on the site want.

Don’t forget: try to sign up but that instance is having issues and you don’t even get a notification to let you know whether your application is pending.

The first step is choose a server. On reddit you sign up for reddit, on Twitter you sign up for twitter, but on Lemmy you sign up for an instance that functions as a copy of the site that talks to other copies. And the choice of instance does matter because the admins run that instance. Already, the vast majority of normies are out.

Way too much drama on there. It’s like every week you have to catch up on what happened.

The sole dev of Squabblr (Jayclees) really needs to hire someone to do the community management/PR side of things. He is great at programming but he keeps making snap top-down decisions that go against what the userbase wants. And his use of language (i.e., “free speech platform”) sounds like a fkn dog whistle.

All these big names on Squabblr going to Discuit like the devs can’t do the exact same thing over there. I’m tired of migrating platforms. If Lemmy doesn’t work out, then I’m going to just go touch grass for fun.

After tiktok, all these social media companies want you to endlessly scroll

I went 4chan, Imgur, Reddit, Squabblr, and now Lemmy. Been a hell of a ride

I read this as “As a 14 year old user” and thought that was an impressive Fisher Price reference for a 14 year old lol
