Now that's exciting, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished app

Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it's all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you're going for and the person that you're sending the email.

A Reddit is when you destroy a social media platform because you're angry with its users. It's a common billionaire or wannabe billionaire move.

I use Bitwarden, and pay for their premium services. I really like it, it helps me keep track of all of my accounts, I'm able to keep all of my individual account passwords secure and unique, and I'm able to autofill my login credentials on all of my devices.

I think that will improve over time. A lot of people here are fresh off Reddit's burning ship. I think given a couple weeks people will settle in and Reddit will fade into the background.

During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won't become as much of circlejerks.

The quality of the posts being worse makes sense, I'm guessing some of the Reddit power users moved here and they were generating the majority of quality OC on Reddit.

That's a great idea. We could get them from a local comet, I'm sure it would never run out.

I use Mullvad. They have you buy time upfront at a fixed price, have lots of payment options, and at one point were subpoenaed and proved to the Swedish government they don't store any user data and therefore have nothing to turn over. They have a nice app too, I like them.

The Verge's coverage of this so far has been really good. It's probably because they think drama like this will get a lot of clicks, but even still I've enjoyed their articles.

This is great news. People are correct when they say it too long, but even still I'm a lot happier to see news of things getting better rather than things getting worse.

It's honestly hilarious Reddit bungled this so badly as to upset everyone. Ah well, at least with this digital piracy community I can rest assured a corporation isn't censoring discourse.
