I'm convinced the general reddit population really are just a bunch of adult babies that have become just docile consumers and sycophants. The fact that people complain about how difficult it is to sign up on lemmy/other fediverse instances shows the level of competency these people work at. If you can't put a modicum of effort into the community you're trying to be a part of, it's probably better you're not here anyways. We don't need 200 million people on lemmy for it to be a fun and interesting place to engage with content on. I'd rather have a smaller (than reddit) userbase, with better content and discussion, than the vast wave of karma farmers posted the lowest effort puns to every single article on world news.

Love Northlane btw.

It's a slow burn for me, but I'm on Reddit less and less everyday, and on lemmy/jerboa more. Especially the more comfortable I become with the interface here and learning how I like to use the app, the little tricks to find the content I want etc. Only reason I've even still checked reddit is cause Relay won't shut down till the 30th.

The GitHub repos are more active than ever, and I'm feeling confident lemmy/jerboa will be at parity soon, especially with all the eyes and scrutiny they're getting now with more users. We just gotta be patient and constructive with our criticism and feedback.

I feel like the pause on rate hikes is to just avoid spooking the market aka investors. Anyone who works in the industry can tell you investors stomp their feet and cry whenever they don't get what they want, and what they want is antithetical to the health of the market, so the Fed has to try and increase rates at a pace that doesn't cause a complete spook/revolt from the investors. But the market is so leveraged I fear 5% may still not be adequate, and we'll need to be at these rates and higher for a much longer time than the investor class wants to tolerate. Inflation won't go down until there is some semblance of wealth redistribution from the large capital holders to normal market actors imo.

I think it's more about maintaining superiority as the unilateral world superpower. Can't let anyone else come into a position to threaten western hegemony. The military industrial complex profits are just the icing on the cake.

Can't wait for the neolib astroturfing to make it's way here too

Value/JSONOBJECT error happens to me constantly. usually when navigating to comments, a community,a post by someone from their profile,etc. Probably the biggest blocker to using the app right now.

I'll be logged in, but when attempting to subscribe to a community or adding a comment, I get an error "login first". I just went back to the account drop-down and reselected my account and am now able to make this comment. I'll often come back to the app and see my account and login info is gone, and I have to re-add them and re-login

Honestly we're all adults here and we all know how the Internet works. Best to not feed the trolls and ignore them. The more attention you give the more it gives the appearances that their rhetoric has validity. Just move on and let's all focus on making a better fediverse for all

Ukrainian soldiers are also complaining about lack of ammunition and are fielding. T-55s. While Russia has a much larger geographical and raw resource base to rely on to build new Equipment, Ukraine does not have that luxury (but does have western support). So if Putins statements about increasing production of military equipment 3x-10x are accurate projections, I can see why they still think they can keep going.

The ability to swipe away posts, or collapse out all the 'read' posts was awesome for browsing

Not losing much if you get banned, I decided to name-drop Lemmy as well. I encourage everyone to mention it or whatever their favorite fediverse instance is.

It's time for social media to stop being ran by for profit corporations, it's just inevitable for them to ruin shit for the sake of slightly increasing quarterly profits
