Both are decentralized, although Blue Sky isn't part of the fediverse. To be honest don't know much else about it.

But it still goes against the point of his tweet, proving Elon IS driving people out of Twitter.

How DARE you accuse Elon Musk of actual labor?

I bet it's his army of yes men who weren't fired or quit when he stepped in.

To be fair I think it's only balanced when you scroll down for a few minutes.

In active, I noticed I start seeing ~2 day old posts I recognize from earlier mixed in with some posts I would've expected to see in hot a few hours ago, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but seems sort of out of place and maybe unintended.

And in hot it's a bit worse in my opinion when pretty soon I start feeling like sorting by new with some few hours old posts with relatively high traffic here and there.

Obviously this is all my personal opinion and might even out in a few days with a more active user base.

 

I think the options themselves are perfect, active as a front page and hot for more frequent browsing, but the algorithms are unbalanced after the massive increase in user base.

I think it all boils down to the state of the official reddit app.

I switched to iPhone from Android (regrettably) not long ago, and Apollo honestly wasn't really better than other third party Android apps I had before, I even liked it less.

I used the official reddit app for years until I tried third party apps and found them better, and when I switched to iPhone I tried the official app first and it was barely usable. Especially that god awful video player that never seemed to work properly, and even when it did it just wasn't good.

So as soon as you factor in the fact that the vast majority of Americans own iPhones, it all makes perfect sense.

That time of the month huh?

 

Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)

Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So... is it all based on donations?

Also don't just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.
