I'm more concerned with the fact that they're removing features without reducing price or making up for it elsewhere. I have no desire to support that business when there are perfectly fine alternatives.

What I've seen others recommend, and I think would have helped, is the ability to 'port' to another instance. So it can just be "Go create an account at lemmy.ml. Don't worry about the instance, we can always port later if you want".

I know now it doesn't really matter (and have accounts with all the big instances) but I agonized over what instance to join at the beginning because I didn't KNOW it didn't really matter.

The 'port' ability also seems like something that is just a good idea in general, so I believe that to be the best option (that I've seen).

You are correct, and I misspoke. By 'harder to sign up for' I was referring to not just the actual sign up process, but the steps involved before the actual sign-up process (deciding on an instance, which itself requires learning what 'instance' means, as well as at least some research into what federation is, and what the differences are between instances).

Which starts by voting third party and ignoring people who parrot nonsense like "a vote for X is a vote for Y".

I blocked reddit the day they announced the API changes, so no problem there!

Fair enough.

What do you propose? Lemmy is significanly more difficult to understand, sign up for, and use, with far less content than Reddit. And the majority opinion seems to be 'fuck those kids that don't understand how to use lemmy, we don't need them'.

Lemmy is something like .02% the size of reddit

The fuck is a tankie?

Yes. Cold showers are linked to higher white blood cell count, decrease in sick days, decrease depression, better sleep, among others.

At the very least they're more environmentally friendly and time-saving than regular showers. In my personal experience, I am much less sensitive to short-term temperature changes than others.

Sadly I'm pretty sure it's full of beheadings, not the fun kind of NSFW. But I'm sure soon enough someone will create a lemmy.porn or something.
