I still use reddit when I need to ask some obscure question about some topic that isn’t well represented on Lemmy yet. I don’t browse or lurk anymore though. (Kind of like how some people just use Facebook for communication and not for the newsfeed.)
Check out beehaw if you’re worried about missing news. That lemmy instance has way less shitposting and seems to have healthy discussion.
Between the mixed feeds on Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw I haven’t missed any big things that I’m aware of. I have other friends on discord and irl and if they talk about a big news story it’s never something I missed.
Sorry to be the semantics guy, but if “asexual” is “non-sexual” wouldn’t “aphobic” and “aspec” mean “non-phobic” and “not on the spectrum” respectively?
Wouldn’t you want to use “acephobic” or something? Like if it were atheism awareness week, I feel like you wouldn’t use “aphobic” again, just because atheist and asexual both have the “a-” prefix.
Man, you’d think that if there was only, say, 100 people a day using this service they could just scale the service down. Whatever the number of active users they could just scale the service down, that number isn’t likely to spike again ever (and even if it did no one would be surprised if there were service interruptions on a service that old).
Maybe it’s a security issue? But there are no credit card transactions in online multiplayer? Idk.
