Noted, thanks. I was kind of hesitant to do keychron because the whole qmk thing seemed intimidating, but maybe it's not that bad. I have a specific hex value I want for my keys and would like the top FN row to be white, that's basically all I'm doing. I'll probably look into this more if I have too many issues with it and decide to return it

Will do - thanks!

Thanks for the reply, that actually blows since there's a few super populated subs over there that I'm part of. I suppose I'll leave those and try to find a different one in an instance that's federated with lemmy.world

I didn't know that beehaw recently defederated from lemmy.world. Can you ELI5 what this means for us?

I just migrated to lemmy.world , and I had quite a few beehaw community subscriptions. How does it affect my interaction?

Thanks man, I really like this. I'll see if I want to borrow some of your wording :)

edit: your first link in pastebin ("this") is private I think?

I haven't done anything yet since I migrating some of my guides is taking a buttload of time, but I was going to look at Power Delete Suite

I would say this is definitely the exception - I forgot to mention that

I think those kinds of topics - mental health, cancer, etc - are way more important than fighting this fight with reddit. We'll fight in as many areas as we can, just not those subreddits. I think those comments need to stay, they're too important

100% agreed. That last sentence hits hard

I still find myself unable to resist using reddit to find information while we're building up the fediverse. Things that I just NEED to know instantly. I'll have to start re-evaluating each problem and whether I can musk spending extra time by trying to find the answer on shudders actual google

I think that's easier said than done, just think about how many topics there would be to cover. I think it would be difficult to be organized, and then in 5 years, there will be solutions in both the topic's subreddits and the "solved by google threads" subreddit so they wouldn't be in one place

It's hard and it's annoying, but I genuinely think the best option is to get as many users here as possible, and then get the content rolling. The more active users, the more will comment with solutions

But we also have to figure out how we can easily use fediverse as a search engine. Before, we just added "reddit" to google search but that doesn't seem to work like that for here. Some people have posted ways that are similar, but I'm talking an extremely easy way for the average user

Yea I read something about how this absolutely fucks with the google search algorithm (?) and makes it so reddit can't profit off your comment. I think that's actually brilliant (if my comments had 0 value), but I would personally rather redirect users to the fediverse and be informative, than reduce their profits by a smidge

A classic, of course

I completely understand and respect your opinion, but I just disagree on a personal level - and I think there is a very valid compromise to still achieve this, by redirection. It would obviously suck a lot for people who just want to find information, so they can still get it. Just take them away from reddit

Like most of us probably, I exclusively used reddit for finding information about literally anything. Google search algorithm is straight hot garbage it's embarrassing lol

If we want other non-corporate owned thread-like platforms to be successful and for reddit to "not get away with this" I personally think this has to be done. Otherwise it's just still a free database of information that we as the users provided for free, and reddit will continue to profit off of. It's my personal stance on it, but I think it's not right, and I believe the extreme majority of people either won't or won't know how to use reddit as a search engine without giving them profits

My solution is to rewrite all of my comments, but for anything that I provided a solution for (or guide), I will redirect them to the same information, but not on reddit. For example, I wrote a full blown returning player guide (like 18 pages) for the game Vindictus, so I'm moving it to google docs. I will inform the discord, in addition to linking the google doc on the reddit OP, and possibly also reference a Lemmy post, give insightful information, etc

Most of my comments though are just discussions though, not many fixes or solutions. So that's what I'm planning on doing
