Just search for the URL of the community. It worked for me.

Microsoft is just as bad or worse than Reddit.

If it’s not around, it won’t be because of the current controversy. It will be because there are better alternatives. Lemmy is one of the contenders.

Sounds silly and counter-productive.

Welcome the circus. I read an interesting post that said Reddit has the bulk of the users for this type of social media, but the users who add value and post etc. are the ones you need. The users Lemmy needs to attract are not the crowd that lurks. It’s the crowd that posts and adds value. That is a much smaller group of users.

As far as I’m concerned, Reddit is taking ownership of something they did not create, foster or contribute to.οΏΌοΏΌ

Thanks!

I’m definitely seeing an increase in speed. I think at some point there will be a market for servers that users must pay to use. For the time being, I’m more than happy to contribute to a server that is open to all, but good speed needs to be there.

It’s an academic exercise discussing the democratic system and how most voters are not looking at the long-term health of the country that they are leaving to their children or the children of others. I find nothing objectionable to Elon expressing his opinion, which by the way was very short and to the point. What’s more concerning is how people get so riled up about these things and talking about Elon and how much they dislike him. The masses are being entertained and you are all falling for the bait.

What I find disgusting is not anybody’s expressed opinion on anything no matter how objectionable I may find it. What I do find disgusting is a political system that no longer works for the greater good of the society as a whole. The voting system is there to give the voting public the illusion that they hold the keys to change. Government and its servants for the lost part can disregard those votes. What matters is $$$ and how these $$$ can affect elections by a voting public that for the most part is uninformed and falls easily for simple slogans that the $$$ get repeated often enough till people believe them to represent the truth.

Well first this is never going to happen so the whole issues is academic. I would argue that it would not push the power to those with $$. The current system does that beautifully. You want the system of voting as watered down and in the hands of as many people as possible for $$ to have the highest impact on the outcome.
