Oh great I hope it’s soon because this will dominate news and social media until and for quite a while after.

But you do need to be on an instance that will be around 3 months from now or you’ll have to start over until there is account migration. (Right?)

Cats if I have to choose. Both can be great but I don’t really want to keep animals as pets.

Yeah looks like they are MacOS and invite-only for now. Hopefully they are onto something good and we will all be able to try it in the future.

I don’t know, them asking me for my email address to be put on a waiting list isn’t really an encouraging start.

I went for beehaw first too, couldn’t get registration to respond but then saw they didn’t offer downvoting. Strange decision IMO.

ChatGPT seems to make stuff up way too much. I still use Google for mundane searches, duckduckgo for things I’d rather keep private.

The Android client I use will quit working at the end of the month if nothing changes. Reddit is becoming a publicly-traded corporation sometime this year, and that will no doubt cause big and mostly negative changes based on past experience. And old.reddit.com I suspect won’t last long. So this is my redoubt, I can see it’s a viable place to fall back to even if I don’t completely understand Lemmy and whether it is sustainable if a huge number of Reddit users start using it.
