  • It’s great, isn’t it? I was having a conversation with someone on here the other day and didn’t realise they were on Mastodon. I’d shared the original post there and replies turned up in Lemmy and vice-versa. It’s very cool.

    The only thing I wish could be improved is the having to manually go back to your home instance and search for a community on another server. It feels even worse than the same process on Mastodon, which already feels clunky.

    Got a long weekend since the US based company I work for has given us all Juneteenth off. This means I will be heading for the pub as soon as is socially acceptable!

    If it does rain, by the way, it’s my fault. New patio set arrived last night.

    And tomorrow, yep, more Tears of the Kingdom will definitely be happening!

    It was always going to happen. Big companies like this make unpopular decisions for business reasons. In some cases there’s an outcry, and for social media sites that outcry is amplified by the simple nature of the site, but it always dies down.

    Most people simply don’t give a shit about this stuff and Reddit will make more money from the 90+% of people who remain then those who left anyway.

    My only hope is that shearing off of some customers is enough to make this a sustainable community here in the same way that happened for Mastodon.
