Truly have no idea if this or other similar projects will succeed long-term, but I do think that any alternative puts much needed pressure on social media companies to stop sucking ass.

Here’s to hoping it keeps growing. Gonna need content other than beans though.

Every platform has their “bean” content. I spent enough time on Reddit to have dealt with the constant “the narwhal bacons at midnight” comments we used to deal with.

Oh I agree, it’s more that lemmy doesn’t really have “big engagement” content yet to spread out amongst the beans. Even text-based posts would do wonders. Mid-profile AMAs or a good asklemmy post going viral and hitting some of the content creators on other sites would really help boost this as a true alternative.

For my part I just hope my niche communities migrate over so the twelve of us that play ToME can geek out about the updates.

"Midnight chili better with rice 5/7"

I remember that time, it wasn't as cringe while it was happening... I think... I hope

Chili does sound like it'd be better with rice though.

I'm about to unsub from lemmyshitposts for a good while. Still sticking around though, this place is home ✌️
