Since he is an ex-president who is guaranteed a secret service detail for life, isn’t he much more likely to be granted house arrest or some other sort of “private” incarceration?

Same. Connect is much cleaner in my opinion. Still has some clunkiness and I don’t like that touching the screen on images closes the image, but overall it’s a great start.

It took reddit suiciding itself for us all to realize that reddit’s content has been shit for years.

All it took was a few days on lemmy to remember what reddit was like before bots and low effort memes killed the site.

There’s nothing. It’s been slowly getting more and more shitty for years. It’s just been happening so slowly that there wasn’t a breaking point where most of us left until now.

I’ve been casually looking for an alternative for years, because the content has gotten so low effort. There just hasn’t been any good alternatives. I tried Voat, but that got over run with racists and Trumpers almost from the jump.

Lemmy is the first thing I’ve found that seems half decent and it needs to triple ot quadruple it’s engaged user base to really have a shot. Too many posts with no comments or very few. What made reddit special was the comments and interactions. I have hope lemmy can get there, it just needs way more users to do so.
