They’re getting voted into oblivion on the AMA, but u/ChariotWheel is helpfully cut-and-pasting and formatting them here.

      It really is. I’m glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.

        I plan to migrate over to Lemmy since this API issue got raised. Its a bit rocky but I think I can manage.

          I’m kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don’t have a dozen forum accounts.

            Yeah I get what you mean, even though I didn’t grew up with BBSes, a tad to young for that. I wholeheartedly think that those mega social media companies are a terrible idea, that now and always show their ugly face, and that socializing should be brought back to: personal homepages, federated blogs and forums and heck even federated video sharing.

            Also, I still think its pretty magical that I have an account on feddit.de and can still talk/chat/discuss with you on lemmy.ml. And so can microblog/comment on various mastodon instances while only been registered on one.

              Yeah as you say it’s pretty magical … although also janky. It really does show the possibilties of federation in a way that mastodon by itself never seemed to. And @stanleytweedle@lemmy.ml great analogy to BBSes!

            Arguably its even better than BBS with per-comment replies and the already mentioned only needing one account thing. I big time miss BBS forums, maybe this’ll be my new home.

            Any reccomendations on good… what do they call the equivalent of “subreddits” here? subinstances?
