Just shut up and take my upvote

I think there was a new version of lemmy released so the instance may be in the process of being updated.

The lack of voice channels is huge for something that looks like it is trying to be a discord alternative. I really can’t believe it still isn’t really implemented.

Honestly though even setting aside the lack of voice channels there is a bigger issue. Getting people to switch to something like matrix. I have so much trouble trying to get my group to switch to ANYTHING new. Tried to get them to switch from iMessage to telegram or signal. They tried it for a day and then went back. Getting them to switch from razer comms to discord was even a removed back in the day. People just don’t like trying new things.

Sorry for the rant I just find this endlessly frustrating. Lol.

I agree that it probably won’t work but I’m trying to be hopeful that people will see that there are other places to post content and interact with each other that don’t view us as cattle.

I can’t stand the stock Reddit app and more importantly I think it’s disgusting the way Reddit has treated the Apollo dev so I won’t be going back regardless of what happens. If people go to lemmy or kbin or whatever other alternatives I’ll join but if not I guess I just won’t participate and this kind of content anymore.

I’m really dying to find out if this blackout continues past the first 48 hours and if it has any impact on their decision.

It sort of doesn’t matter to me since the Apollo dev already said he wasn’t going to keep his app up due to how spez handled the whole situation.
