Biscuit@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?11·2 years agoyour ridiculous all or nothing speculation
How is it ridiculous? It’s my 2 cent opinion, lightly founded in observation of when this happened several times in the past, with reddit and several other platforms, to a question in a forum about questions, that requires speculation about the future.
There’s not a correct or incorrect answer here, just a bunch of idiots guessing. Feel free to influence the future with downvotes though. I’ll continue enjoying reading what people have to say.
What if I aim low? Like, “please include the letter c in your next commit”? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!
And, they’ll all still be wrong!
Biscuit@kbin.socialto Jerboa@lemmy.ml•Is there very little content on Lemmy or is the sorting algorithm used by either Lemmy or Jerboa not working super great?62·2 years agoI have a few ideas on how to clog my bowels. I really can’t wait to contribute!!!
Biscuit@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?0·2 years agoOk, now let’s ask the 99.9% of Redditors that aren’t here. You take the left 25,000,000, I’ll take the right, meet back in 5. Go!
edit: Oh man, I’m out of breath. We might need help. How about every single lemmy user helps us! That’s only about 1,300 people we each have to ask! Well, 1,299 for me. At 4 seconds each, that’s should only be about 1.5 hours. See you all soon!
Biscuit@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?1·2 years agoTaking away popular apps to a social network that doesn’t have any yet? What? Most users won’t see that as a positive, in the medium term.
We would have to see the user stats related to reddit app usage, to talk in an informed way about this, along with the assumption that reddit doesn’t improve their app, which will probably be forced onto spez (assuming he isn’t kicked out as an atonement/scape goat).
edit: Here’s a quick litmus test. How many times have you gone to reddit today?
Biscuit@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Lemmy more likely to succeed than Voat? Why or why not?02·2 years agoI don’t know, I was there in the beginning. I think it died because it had no real content, compared to reddit. And, all anyone talked about was reddit, or reposted stuff from reddit, just like we’re seeing here. I think this might stick a bit better because reddit is way bigger than it was back then, so even if the same super small % of users came over, it would still be quite a bit more content.
For comparison of how negligible all the Lemmy fediverse is, there are ~40k active users this month. Reddit has over 50 million active users. So, that’s around 0.1% of reddit users. Literally 99.9% of reddit are not here.
I think it’s probably doomed. It’ll never overtake reddit. But, it’ll be a nice, quiet, alternative.

Biscuit@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think of people making memes/jokes about the recent Titan tragedy?1·2 years agoI think jokes and empathy can be somewhat orthogonal. In fact, I think any stable society/org requires a court jester. But dang, the amount of dehumanization, lack of empathy, and sometimes joy, I see is really scary. There are some angry, empty, people on the internet, that I hope to never meet in real life.
Biscuit@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?1·2 years agoLots of reddit will find themselves unwelcome in Lemmy and by various instance admins.
Do you have some examples?
If I win, I’m going to double my keys and give them to the next person.

Biscuit@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What exactly does "Local" filtering do for Lemmy?0·2 years ago“Local filtering” makes it sound like that’s removed, lol. I think the button could definitely be renamed “Show only this instance” or something.
Biscuit@kbin.socialto Programming@beehaw.org•How frequently do you use profilers/debuggers at work?2·2 years agoEvery single day. They’re built into the IDE. It’s easier to use them than to not use them.
The first was an afterthought that I wanted to include. The second was because I realized my time trying Voat was close to the hate subs that the majority of the comments here are about. Neither were about up/down, I was just trying to be polite by making the additions clear, since there’s no indicator in my UI.
The last one was a lighthearted joke. I thought the last few sentences of it would make that clear. With an empty /m/funny and /m/jokes, and a /m/memes full of constipation, I’m beginning to suspect my humor may not be well align here.
But, I do think it’s silly that given an opinion about my experience, on a question requesting an opinion about that event, results in downvotes. I guess I don’t get the point of this place.
