I moved to Lemmy because of the 3PA shutdown but very early the native apps and mobile web experience kinda sucked honestly. But I’m really surprised how much the apps have progressed for Lemmy in a very very short time. The experience is getting very close to Apollo and the communities are growing rapidly. This is also very anecdotal but it does seem there was a bit of a brain drain from Reddit given the quality of comments here and the apparent lack of quality posts and comments there since.

I mean I could understand some C-level guy making boneheaded moves that are misguided, shortsighted, and counterintuitive (cough…cough… Reddit) but this guy… it’s like he bought a house on stilts and keeps cutting out the legs while trying to figure out why the house is leaning about to fall over. How do these guys get to be billionaires?

Well I can’t “give up” on gmail. I work for a university and they use it. But to say gmail was a zillion times better than groupwise is an understatement.

TIL ethernet is younger than me.

I wouldn’t trust a google product any further than I could throw a single one of their servers. Well except for gmail. That one has been around a while.
