This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

After the blackout... (sh.itjust.works)

...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

I like Lemmy. I think I'll stay here, and I'll wipe my Reddit account soon. It feels strange, but Reddit also feels super hostile now.

You're not the only person I've seen saying that - it might be because all the nice people have stayed away during the blackout leaving the toxic sludge to rise to the top in their absence...

the sludge has been dominating for a while, reddit hasnt been cool for a while imo, just a lot of habitual hanging out

i was honestly looking for a reason to leave. i dont care about deleting accounts but if i comment ill be here as long as i keep getting replies
