It’s because they’re still in the early stage of enshittification, “first, they are good to their users.”

I hope my pessimistic ass is wrong; only time will tell. I just feel like some part of Proton’s marketing strategy doesn’t do it for me.

You can even make a complete sentence that makes sense with symbols and numbers.

“Ronaldo doesn’t grill 76 Canadian Tacos.”

Or whatever

True stoic right here.

Hi, if it’s still possible I would like to get an invite too

Haha yes, you can see who are the madlads posting at 3AM with 5% battery left. Also, so much personality in just a simple homescreen, love it.

Hey, I like your dedication for the AESTHETIC and Kamen Rider. 👍

It would take times, the more informative content we have (even the what’s your top 5 thing posts) that common people use search engine to look up for and find, the more we will get exposure, just like how reddit find its audience. Imo, as long as lemmy doesn’t get into front page of search engine, I’m afraid the number of lemmyverse users that migrate from reddit won’t sharply increase unless reddit does more fuckups. This might also mean, there will be inevitably one or a select few big lemmy instances that will get more exposure.

In any case, it’s not necessarily a bad thing; Lemmy (and kbin) needs a lot of improvement to be accessible to most people. Let people that are tech-savvy and those who are passionate in open-source projects improve it first. Otherwise, others will try and find lemmy too complicated to use as it is right now and not interested in using it later down the road.

Just my 0.02

Thanks for reminding me. I used RES and curated my reddit page to only subreddits I personally followed; I forgot that many redditors have different experience than mine. Most of subreddits in r/popular (or is it r/all?) are just user engagement machine. I agree that’s probably not great for mental health in a long term.

I wonder if this source of mental health decline i.e. anxiety and depression:

The researchers posit that social comparison with peers is behind those results

means that social media such as reddit (ugh) or lemmy have less negative effect or a different one? I don’t think I have problem with social comparison by browsing lemmy but I do feel like I still spend more time than necessary. Some kind of FOMO I guess.

I don’t have fixed schedule, I just occasionally check for any available updates for my apps and individually update each app. App that I think isn’t worth it, I uninstall. Useless app that rarely updates will stay in my phone longer than the one that does.
