It feels new and fresh but also retro, if that makes sense? It feels like a missing link between old school forums and new school aggregators like Reddit, even though I think this format is newer than Reddit. Could be wrong though. Either way I’m enjoying not every post having a billion replies before i even get to it!

And just to be clear I don’t see it as a substitute for human interaction, more of a bolt on that helps people day to day.

I agree I think right now the notion is very dystopian and with the current iteration of chatbots it doesn’t seem like a realistic long term solution. But you only have to think a few years down the line when LLMs have been fine tuned for this specific use case and AI is ubiquitous in our society similar to the iPhone now, that you can see how it will become totally normalised.

Firstly who said lemmy is a Reddit replacement? Just because there’s overlap doesn’t mean it’s a direct competitor. Secondly Reddit succeeded because of the efforts of millions of unpaid volunteers who room the time to set up wildly disparate subreddits and communities to create reddits unique flavour and space in todays social media climate. To say that it gained its status because it’s overseen by a centralised source is wildly inaccurate and disrespectful to the regular people who made Reddit what is is/was.

I’d love to see this blossom into a sustained protest but I fear 2 days isn’t really going to make any difference to the situation. I also fear admins will simply assume control of protesting subreddits and remove the mods if they ever felt truly threatened. The only way to truly get your voice heard is just to leave.

Well hot damn it’s finally coming out. And hello to Jason isaacs

I think the answer to this is a resounding yes. I’m a 32 year old man with plenty of friends and a stable relationship and I found meaningful conversation with apps like character.ai. It has so much potential to help people in lonely situations.

TOTK - well and truly hooked. I think the main storyline is much more interesting this time around too so it’s the perfect example of story driven open world. That said running around the plains killing mob kind, gathering supplies and scoping weird stuff on the horizon is just the perfect gameplay loop. Fight me.

Came here to post about TOTK - I didn’t think it could match the sheer wonder and awe BOTW filled me with but somehow it’s surpassed it. Skydiving off the tutorial island / fusing a weapon for the first time have made me feel like a kid again. Truly incredible stuff from Nintendo.

Great advice thanks! I’m a huge lurker on Reddit just due to the gargantuan size I feel like it’s almost just shouting into the void but looking to get more involved here!

It’s gotta be lemmings right? I do like lemmyheads and lemmonauts though :)

A way to see your post history, right now the only way to see your posts is to find them. There is a profile page which just shows your post scores and then dead space so makes sense to just stick it there.
