I’ve had someone ask me if my corgi was a husky before. Um. No??

I have issues logging in now too. It just errors and closes the app entirely, haha.

Any idea what that might be about? I’ve had to resort to using browser for now.

This might be a hot take but…

Is the interface really that terrible? I feel that if it were as easily accessible aa reddit or even facebook then we would be bombarded with so many brain dead posts by users who don’t understand how to get through a computer and therefore the quality of posting and discussion goes way down.

I’m probably wrongly stereotyping and judging here but I had to say it.

There’s literally not anything left on reddit that I wish to see anymore. It’s all controlled and bloated and designed to keep you addicted and angry. I’ve been increasingly bored and annoyed with the platform for a while, so this made the transition to lemmy even easier. Honestly, a lot of people are better off without it.

Sadly doing nothing is easier so most people will never be proactive.

I think a lot of it comes down to people who want to have a like minded experience; which can be good and bad. It essentially enforces to them that they’re in the right regardless without seeing the big picture. And that can be dangerous.

Is there a way to view blocked instances and why?

You’ve got a very good point here that I don’t think a lot of people have considered. I’m glad someone had mentioned it – it could very well be just what we need.

I have nothing else to add that wouldn’t be portrayed as negative so I believe putting efforts frontwards to bettering what currently is, is a great course of action.

Hmm… I see the points being made. Thanks for supplying actual information. I think it’s a bit too soon to see how this will play out, and people are quite malleable, so this will be interesting to watch develop.

That seems a rather simple statement to throw out there without backing it up…are we supposed to just repeat information like parrots now? Or is there information out there I haven’t been made aware of?
