▲ 541 ▼ With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready? (piefed.social) submitted 7 months ago by Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 243 comments fedilink hide all child comments With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option. What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Video games too. And porn for that matter. We're overall a little weak on the trifecta of primary internet subject matter. At least we're solid on owls though, my enduring admiration to our dedicated owl posters. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 7 months ago* (3 children) Unironically this. We need cute animals. Cats, owls, moths, capibaras, pangolins. If we're not gonna have one of the two "true movers" of the internet (porn and correcting people who are wrong) we need something good to compensate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] moakley@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago Lemmy has pretty active communities for both bunnies and foxes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rimu@piefed.social 3 points 7 months ago (1 child) There are a lot of owls.
