I'd like to say glad to bere here, but tbh it makes me sad to leave behind my Reddit account of almost a decade.

Lemmy look promising though (and still slightly confusing :)

I'm curious; is this instance pysically running on a local private server somewhere or in the cloud in some data center?

Doesn't this icon design get confusing?

Don't get me wrong it looks cool; but it seems to me it would take a lot of effort each time to distinguish which app is which

Think about it differently: How many things would you not be aware of if advertising didn't exist?

In a world without advertising you would stand in front of the drinks section in the supermarket and not know that Coke is the world's most popular soda.

In a world without advertising the first time you start looking up car brands is when you decide to buy one, as with washing machines or sth.

In a world without advertising you don't plan out what do get during the Steam summer sale.

etc. It does not "mind control" you - but it absolutely shapes your considerations as a consumer

This is why I stopped putting my mug collection in the kitchen cabinets.

Some bugs are for drinking now, and some are for looking at.

And some only I drink from so that I I ky have myself to blame if they brake.

Thanks this was really helpful

Things organically change over time; at some point the clustering you talk about might still happen. Actually network theroy predicts it will happen

I am waiting for Boost

Personally I'm too nostalgic to just scrap my Reddit account; I want to keep it as a personal archive
