In this case, I have a theory. I remember a month ago people were posting a lot on Reddit and the [email protected] community was extremely active. It was like group therapy for refugees. But now the new reality is setting in and people are actually having real and meaningful conversations, which means more lurkers.

So it doesn’t mean that active users are down per se, it’s just that it’s stabilised because people are mostly over Reddit.

I’m curious, why are you sick of Manjaro? I’ve been use it for 2 years and it’s been smooth sailing. Genuinely just curious.

sigh, it’s hopeless, it will not happen. Reddit is now looking to fill a “Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Ads Targeting” position (https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/5009252). Which means that it wants people to use its app so that it’s machine learning algorithm can target ads to users and make money for its future investors.

We’re talking about a capitalist platform. Reddit’s whole purpose right now is to go public (IPO). Lemmy/Kbin are the only free platforms.

"Sigh*. I’ve been using Manjaro for two years now and I haven’t had problems. Everything always worked smoothly.

In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn’t have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.

I second this. It sounds that you want a rolling release distro. Suse Tumbleweed is also a good choice.

Woohoo! I hope a lot of FOSS project have their own Lemmy/Kbin instance. Reddit, a capitalist platform, is no place for them.

I have to say, well written article (too bad they only mentioned Beehaw and not Lemmin). Reddit cannot exist without user content and more importantly the moderators who do a hard job for free.

Without moderators, subreddits simply become a free for all, the far west.
