In this case, yeah... there's still plenty of good design and features to lift from Reddit, and why not? Also, in terms of the FV as whole (i.e., not just Lemmy), I'd love to persuade more of Reddit's better users to migrate, especially the more they realise that they're not much more than a "$" sign to spez and the investors.

Pretty crazy how we saw such naked greed and contempt from them back in Summer '23, and yet the bias of recency (or whatever it has) has largely normalised it out of existence for both the Reddit and the FV side. Like... bloody hell, mate...

I’m with you about 2023. I guess outage is cheaper than change.
