This is exactly it. It seems like every service is raising prices with no noticeable improvement to the service itself. Hell, this would be easier to swallow if Spotify was going to pay artists more. There doesn’t seem to be any benefit to anyone other than Spotify’s bottom line, which I assure you, is doing just fine.

Completely agree. I think people are so engrained that they just don’t want to try something else.

That’s exactly it. I saw a lot of people on Twitter today saying they’re only staying the fallout. It’s dumb, and yes, I’m part of the problem, though I’m staying only to update some connections on where I’m going.

Nothing, I’m still there, unfortunately. Fact is, there just isn’t that much engagement here, and smaller niche subs that I like will have new posts daily on Reddit, but will sometimes take a week or more.

I like the idea of Lemmy quite a bit, and I appreciate the hell out of Memmy and Mlem (can’t decide what I like more), but I also am using Apollo still, and I may have to stick with that for a while.

Frankenstein. If you’ve never read it, the caricature of what it is has done it no justice. It is an incredible book.

My first one was NES. I was just the right age in the late 80s to be caught in all of it. Funny thing is, I don’t remember asking for it. I think my parents just got me one, but I fell in love with games from that point on.

Heck, my second system was the Genesis, and I didn’t ask, or know about it, either! One of the best memories I have of growing up.

Went to the movies with family friends. When I came back, my dad had set up the Genesis and had Altered Beast playing on the tv. Coming from only knowing the NES, my mind was blown.

Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane.

Oh that’s great!

It’s so awesome what they’ve accomplished! Very grateful for that!

Thank you. I hope it’s added at some point, would be good to have. Thankfully, Lemmy.world seems to be working a lot better for me today!

That’s a bummer. Hope you can get in soon. It is very similar to Wefwef, as they’re both going for Apollo, so you basically have the gist of it. They both have been getting frequent updates, so I flip flop on which I prefer. It’s been Wefwef until today, but right now, I think Memmy is slightly edging it out.

Thanks!

Thank you for clarifying for me!

Oh, okay thank you!

I can’t settle on one yet. I alternate between Wefwef and Memmy. Both are very good at bringing the Apollo vibes!

I’m new to all this (Reddit refugee), how do you move to another instance? If you do move, do your comments and whatnot all come with you?

I’m still there, too, but not nearly as much. If they take old.Reddit away, I’ll be completely done.

In the meantime, Wefwef has been doing right by me. Just wish communities were more active.

Lemgend.

The great thing about Reddit is that a lot of people are there.

The worst thing about Reddit is that a lot of people are there.

I don’t think the fediverse is ever going to be massive, but that’s okay! Smaller communities usually lead to better interactions. I’ve only been here a day, but the thing that jumps out at me is this place doesn’t seem hostile.

Early days on social services have always been my favorite. In a weird way, I’m glad Reddit led me here.
