Their logic is from a POV of they dont get the benefit since they aren’t expecting parents or didn’t get that benefit if/when they wer, so why should anyone else. When really the proper evolved response is to be happy that new trends are being set and we’re improving the cruel system that keeps new parents from critically important family time.

Someone ELI5 why Lemmy is or isn’t ready for a Reddit Exodus.

Personally, I want it to be. Reddit censorship/shadowbans/deletes is outta control. Imo the problem lemmy has is on Desktop, since on Android there are some great apps like Boost that give it a Reddit-like end user experience, wheras Desktop experience in a browser is No equivalent of RES, or classic reddit. Opening images is very janky. I like RESs 'view images buttons, that untwirls all view image buttons. Using lemmy on desktop is a Chore. I can handle it. But I imagine its very much a bad taste and an impediment to a greater influx of average users.

Its about time we left reddit behind and make Desktop lemmy more welcoming. The times we’re in requires a trustable platform. Reddit ain’t it.

Idc about ads as much as their duplicitous censoring, shadow banning and shadow deleting posts. You need to recheck your posts in a private tab periodically to see which ones have been censored to the outside world, as they try to dupe the users to believe its still up on their end. Scumbags. Its not a new thing either, but considering how heavy handed they’ve been, I suspect spez will be all too happy to devolve the platform further under this new ‘climate’ we’re all in. Never trust Reddit. I have faith in Lemmy to succeed it. Decentralized platforms are the only way forward for unimpeded free speech.

I dont do tools, or work on cars or anything, but I literally just bought a $20 rachet set with like 50+ pieces, and the one time I use it on my car to remove the battery, I lose the 10mm… I didn’t realize this was so common. I must have spent like an hour in the parking lot looking for it and felt a fool for losing it. This isn’t so much humorous as it is vindication! I am not a fool! Or atleast, we all are.
