Went on the apple sub yesterday and majority of people on there didn’t give a shit about the API changes and were calling the Apollo developer a whiny multi millionaire or something. Feels like the general tone has shifted a lot.

Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I also wonder if the Reddit admins might have started some kind of marketing campaign to build the consensus in their favor of their own platform. There have been several instances of third parties using social media to do that kind of things, the hivemind makes it easy enough that the word of mouth is going to spread when it's high enough on the main subs.
That might be granting them more PR credit than they've shown in the last few weeks, though.
As long as we remember to be patient and gentle it should be ok
Lmao
Just random thoughts: What would be your thoughts on a day-of moratorium on registrations? Give everyone a day or two to think on it then open it back up?
I'm ready for them when they get here!
I moved here a month ago knowing that this is just the latest in aggregation/news/forum site upheavals. I learned to not wait back when Digg was crashing out and everyone was moving to this small site called "Reddit" at the time.
I came from other sites to Digg and someday I'll likely migrate away from lemmy, but this is a good home for now and I'm very thankful for the federation hosters to keep us up and running.
