Lemmy should have its own thing, it doesn't have to be a Reddit clone in all things.

What could a Fediverse alternative look like? One in which every community gets to fill their own canvas, and the resulting canvasses are peacefully co-existing as a patchwork in a shared main larger canvas?
Maybe we could do something that puts instances on teams against or working with eachother. The dynamic could be cool.
Let's maybe work on getting to the point where the servers don't crash regularly before we start implementing stuff like this lol.
Yeah i understand that view, i just think that it would be a good timing for it and bring more publicity to the cause.
Also going a bit offtopic: if it helps, haven't experienced any crashes since using lemmy.world
also tested kbin.social but it was pretty slow and laggy at the moment. But i really like the design on this one a lot
also using squabbles on the side, but that one will not be my new home since it is not on the fediverse. It did feel like another good reddit replacement and was a bit more user friendly since it is less complicated than the fediverse sites.
I said the same thing until today. I'm on reddthat.com and it went down for a while this morning. Was back up relatively quickly though. From what I understand, we weren't the only instance to go down.
Yes, makes sense.
There seem to be rumors that reddit wants to do another r/place on 23rd of June to celebrate its 18th birthday and to distract from the API situation.
I can't imagine that going the way they expect.
If they try that I expect nothing less than the treatment r/Canada got last time, and a giant mural of Aaron Swartz.
yeah i saw that info posted 3 days ago before the Blackout on the redditisfun subreddit. At that time it might have still looked like a good idea. At the current time i don't think it is.
No idea if it would end well in the future though, i could see the protest keep relevance, but it might aswell blow over or lose traction. This is also why I believe that it could be good if the protest had a community event on the side to generate more publicity on the side. It might drag in some international influencer/streamer communities like last time aswell.
that's actually a good idea
It's an open protocol, so I don't see how anyone could stop you from doing it.
IT is not in my field of knowledge. Don't have enough time and competence to handle a project like that
Lol if they did place again now it would be filled with vile things and links to other sites
Exactly. They might try to have a site event of some sort, but it won't be place. They're dumb, but I don't think they're quite that dumb.
