Redditors gonna reddit.
Upvoted! I like that this is not in a RedditAlternatives community or anything.
EDIT: had to laugh at this comment:
"this site is a bit confusing, but the bigger deal breaker is the 'not for profit' angle for me."
you can skip the signature part (i signed it with a fake name cornelius flycatcher)
You're right that it's nothing big, but the kind of people super into purity tests tend to congregate on the fediverse (which I find a little ironic but am also happy to have some people around who accept no compromises).
Well I do agree to it as written lol. I didn't realize this was a matter of opinion.
Perhaps if you gave an example from the TOS to illustrate what you mean by "enabling bullshit" your position would be more clear?
They are just covering their butts legally against someone suing them for typing a URL into the URL bar.
Good point but I will say even with immutable distros users are given a lot more control than Windows or Mac.
Yeah BlueSky is a solid side-step. It's still for-profit and not federated but every BlueSky user is one not on X. And a lot of BlueSky's userbase is comprised of particularly influential X users so them leaving is particularly harmful to the ecosystem.
I also think it's funny how the journalists who repeat BlueSkys "decentralized" nonsense thought Mastodon was too weird and technical, and yet are promoting Pixelfed. Not complaining, but it is funny.

In Bazzite, installing software, for example, works differently than under a typical distribution.
This is true, but it's also on the whole a lot more familiar to a non-Linux user (open app store, search, download).
That and Crypto/wallstreetbets is what I assume. But like most subscription services, the paid tier will start out as "bonus" content but eventually more features get locked behind the paywall.
If they're foolish enough to paywall old.reddit it would force a lot of the olds out.
I have to imagine that a free Lemmy version of most communities would be more appealing to most people the paywalled subreddit. But I also have a feeling the paywalled subreddits are going to be crypto or meme stock related, where there's a benefit to them being paywalled.
EDIT: As other have said, there's an incentive for the porno subs to be paywalled too.
"Stuff in my feed I don't want to see in my feed" is kind of the exact problem the Fediverse set out to solve. Nothing gets "injected" to a feed here so if you are seeing it, it's a choice to continue to do so.
"any media outlet, no matter how big an empire it is, that is not owned or funded by the state" is not the common definition of "independent media" (it's not even the definition given in the hyperlinked definition). "Independence" in this context refers to journalistic independence.
Zorin is another distro that (very successfully imo) does a windows-style taskbar with GNOME and is parent friendly, though like I said before, I think today I would go with something immutable for a non-techie because they're very hard to break.

The actors who play James and Sam Kirk in SNW pose with the actors who played the same characters in TOS
Anyone else out there who actually really loved Discovery's S1 style of Klingons?
