Interesting context. Thanks for sharing:

$19 billion seems high.

And what does that make Android’s whole point? 😉

I know it doesn’t make sense, but can’t blame the guy, he probably went to school in Florida

Sweden’s response:

This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.

What? Can’t they get defederated if it’s this obvious?

what, for real? I thought it had a porthole or something

Could they have handled this whole situation any worse?

They say the next GallowBoob has already been born…

Check out /c/macgaming for example - I bet https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming doesn’t work but https://lemmy.world/c/macgaming@lemmy.world does, right?

I’m stumped, not sure what I can do without help from the admins to look into it

Appoint more moderators on your own instance.

I can’t say I’m shocked, but I am disappointed. But at the same time - Lemmy/Kbin is the answer. This is the way.

Reddit is deaddit. Long live the glorious Lemmy-Kbin Continuum.

This is an incredibly selfish, dipshit move. They’re trying to prioritise the growth of their own instance at the expense of Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole, at a time when we should all be banded together to accept the massive influx of departing Redditors.

It’s exceptionally selfish to cut apart the community and try to promote your own instance while the Lemmyverse as a whole is experiencing a mass influx of users. This will create confusion and frustration at a time that we should be rolling out the red carpet as a community for the Reddit exodus.

I think this is very disappointing, and exceptionally selfish, to split up some of the largest Lemmy communities while a mass Reddit exodus is ongoing. We should be sticking together and trying to grow the Fediverse as a whole, rather than trying to wall off any one single community at this point. That said, I hope this is the end of this approach, and that smaller instances, particularly ones that support a particular community won’t be pushed aside as well (hello from Lemmy Portugal).

No kidding! It’s a small community, but very friendly, and thus far high-quality in terms of discussions!

Wait what, seriously? This early into the Lemmy saga they cut off the two largest instances from each other? What the hell are they thinking?
