Spez talks to NY Times
As the social media site matures, its users and moderators have made their displeasure about corporate changes known, putting the company into a bind.

You're not kidding about the cleaner part.
Coming here has made me realize just how astroturfed reddit is on the larger subs. Just an army of bots upvoting each others trash.
Folks here are just trying to rebuild what they loved from reddit and it feels genuine. Honest to god it's like a breath of fresh air
If I'm being honest I'll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way
The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.
I have a century home that has all 3 installed in various spots from previous owners and some LVP installed by us.
If you want to install the same flooring through all those areas I would not pick laminate. The laminate we have in the main kitchen was installed I would guess about 5 years ago, and it being a kitchen, spills happen. Because of that the laminate is already swelling up at the edges where the planks meet. Its not drastic or overly noticeable, but it is there and will continue to wear and tear over time. As you can imagine I'm not particularly thrilled with the previous owner's choice on that one.
In the mother-in-law kitchen we installed vinyl plank which has held up nicely and isnt prone to absorption from spills, but time will tell as its been in for only ~2 years. My MIL also has a small dog and it hasnt seemed to make a dent in that regard. YMMV with a larger animal or kids.
The rest of the house, dining/living/bedrooms are the original hardwood floors, the scratches are just character in a house of this age and it wasnt an issue for us when buying.
If I were starting from a blank slate I would pick LVP for the kitchen for the water resistance and pick one of the other 2 for the rest.
It's a pill that has an enzyme in it that breaks down the complex carbs in beans and veggies so that you can fully digest them without getting the farts.
My SO hated me eating beans until I discovered that walmart sells a generic bean-o for far less than the name brand. Your loved ones dont have to suffer that fate
I'd love for lemmy to take off as a reddit replacement but it has some hurdles to overcome.
My experience as an ex-redditor thats been here for a few hours, its still super confusing figuring out how to subscribe to subscommunities. I'm getting the hang of it but I'm willing to do that. Many newcomers are gonna see its not a click to subscribe type situation and close the tab instead. Until its user friendly, its not going to gain the amount of traction to be a replacement
I won't miss the sex related askreddit threads from thirsty redditors that always appeared on the front page
