None of the big ones were allowing NSFW posts on their instances, but anyone can create an instance that does allow it 🙂

There’s lemmynsfw.com as well now.

Even if we forget about advertising, 48 hours is just not enough to achieve anything and might actually be worse than no blackout at all if people want to see change. Louis Rossmann made some great points about that in his latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U06rCBIKM5M

Man that whole situation really sucks. Reddit was by far my most visited site before they decided to light the house on fire. On mobile I always used Boost because the official app is terrible and (at least the last time I looked at it) would drain my battery like it was nothing even when the app was closed. RIP. At least we’ve got Lemmy. I just wish these 3rd party apps would take their users to the fediverse instead of shutting down entirely. As a developer it really sucks when you have to shut down a project you’ve put so much work into.

Yup. I love Avi Loeb because he’s one of the few well respected scientists that won’t straight up dismiss the possibility of something being of extraterrestrial or non-human origins. Which, IMO, is how science should handle cases like this. Leave all possibilities open until science points in a certain direction. I highly recommend listening to his appearances on the Event Horizon podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EventHorizonShow/search?query=Avi Loeb

It’s a very interesting phenomena. I really don’t know what to think about it personally. But whatever it is we might soon have more scientific data on it thanks to the Galileo Project: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/home

I’m Hyperz and I come from the land of waffles, chocolate, fries and beer (Belgium). Was a reader of Reddit for about 15 years and a member for about 11 of those years. Before that I used to be very active on some niche forums until Reddit went Pac-Man on traditional forums. With the way Reddit was going the last few years, and especially now with the incoming API changes, I’ve decided I don’t want to support that anti-user platform anymore. I’m glad I found out about Lemmy (can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before!) because not only does it look like a viable alternative to Reddit, it also brings back some of the aspects I’ve been missing from the old forum days.

Hopefully he stays in China then 🙉

Been on Reddit for over 10 years and this move finally made me go look for alternatives that don’t hate their own users. Reddit was already going downhill fast the last couple of years, and this move was the last drop for me. If they want to Digg their own hole so be it. Only thing I haven’t found so far is an alternative to the NSFW side of Reddit.
