Good point. In fact if someone is taking physics, it’s probably too late actually.🤯😰🤢

Oh y-y-yeah, well I eat twice as much - no ten times as much - cheese as you! That’s 180% 900% cheesy!

No it couldn’t.

Must resist temptation to ask wHy NoT bOtH… (for mutually exclusive possibilities)

Perhaps the best ones?

It does incur quite the cost though, if only in initial set-up time, so I can see where some people may have a desire to avoid it, for a time.

You is kind, you is smart, you is important.

The link is not worth the ad-infested click btw, mentioning neither Lemmy nor “Lemme”, just calling beans as “viral TikTok trends”.

Even we quite often use Cloud flare. Those who resisted at first often changed their mind after getting hit with bot scraping DNS attacks. It’s not trivially easy to deploy alternatives.

One money, as requested.

Uses AI to insert small Mexican gril… what could go wrong?

Oof, too soon…

Oh is that where the skeletons came from? 🙃

You are missing a ton of what I said.

First, YOU may not have a subreddit local to your town, but that does not mean that NOBODY does?

Agreed that Facebook is far worse, but then all the more reason to use Reddit as the lesser (albeit still) evil?

And again YOU may not read the political communities, unhelpfully named like “memes” or “comics” or “technology”, but that does not mean that NOBODY does.

The Lemmy “random” instance picker chooses lemmy.ml or hexbear.net sth like >80-90% of the time, last I checked, and if you visit Lemmy.ml you will see how the default view for someone without an account is Local (again iirc, last I checked), not All. Someone visiting from Reddit will have that as their first view, and seeing nothing worth sticking around for, and much reason to leave, your average American centrist aka niche content creator will nope right out and never return, often leaving negative feedback behind everywhere else they go (r/Redditalternatives, Bluesky, Xhitter, etc.) about their experiences on what they saw of “Lemmy”.

YOU have curated an extensive blocklist, and if you are anything at all like myself, tend to forget as time passes what the experience is like for a brand-new visitor.

I agree wholeheartedly that the ultimate goal should be to get off Reddit, but I was adding some context that sometimes people cannot do that so readily, and we here on the Threadiverse do not really welcome non-technical normies anyway. It is what it is.

I heard that they just used real ghosts 👻 too 😱 /s

I am not the person you replied to, but I thought I would add a different category of example: something location-based, like a specific city, or maybe an entire community based on your employer, etc. It is undeniable that niche topics are discussed more thoroughly elsewhere than here, where instead of welcoming people this place mostly just discusses how all people in Western society should be killed, which some people find off-putting (I know I do).
