Hey, I am one of the former mods of /r/startpages (quit a few days ago since I don’t use reddit at all anymore). Unfortunately I’m not sure if it’s possible to send out a mass message to subscribers. I was hoping the private subreddit message would be enough to get the ball rolling over here but I guess I was wrong.

I was on /r/startpages since it’s conception and know it took a long time to grow the community there as well. I do believe we’ll hit a good momentum over here eventually but I am open to suggestions on growing faster.

yep! Exactly like a subreddit

Nay

That’s unfortunate. A lot of bots have beaten them but it still stops a lot of low quality bots

Yeah this is why I’m not a big fan of sites that have “Free Speech” as their number one thing. You can’t tolerate the intolerant and freedom from hate speech is more important than unchecked free speech.

We don’t want to become Voat

I think self promotion is alright sometimes like in the case where someone writes a really detailed technical breakdown of something. It’s easier to format complex subjects on your own blog than in a thread. I totally agree if the entire purpose of someone’s account is to boost their own website though

Yeah I am. I know there’s a way to filter out keywords and I’d do that but I would still like to hear of any major developments. I just don’t want to hear the same stories repeated over and over again

what

Just 100x better than Canadian public transport :'). We just built an LRT line in Ottawa and it’s down more often than it’s working. It has cost the city ridiculous amounts of money to fix it even though it’s brand new

they think they’re the centre of the country and ate better than everyone else,

lol this does not apply to Ottawa (Canada). We hate ourselves and know that most of the country forgets we exist. Even the leader of our province forgets we exist 90% of the time

I assume for Meta’s platform they’d just get defederated very quickly from others. I think it actually could be a good thing in regards to introducing average users to the fediverse (I say this as someone who despises Meta)

Have you tried DualSense controllers? What do you think of them?

Oh yeah now it makes sense. Not sure why I didn’t understand haha

What do you mean by that?

Ublock origin is considered the best afaik. It even supports Android Firefox

Beehaw is defederating from sh.itjustwor.ks and Lemmy.world.Personally I think it’s silly to be upset over it considering defederation is one of the selling points of Lemmy.

Beehaw is just going for a more curated experience which I think is completely fine. I’m sure once they have more moderators they’ll consider refederating anyway.
