Regardless of the success (or failure) of the blackout what’s important is to create an alternative platform to Reddit. The blackout doesn’t have much legs because of the lack of alternative. Deep inside we all know that many will just go back to reddit once the blackout will end - it’s why the importance of creating an alternative.

Keep boosting Lemmy.

Usually don’t post Youtube channels, but “The Hook Up” did a good review on locally controlled doorbells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XCu6L0xn4Y

Hope that someone creates a Lemmy view much like old.reddit - way too spread out for me right now. Please, someone build this. :)

Product reviews, restaurant recommendations (regional searches on Reddit for Vacationing/etc was awesome), tourist recommendations - this was the truly useful part of Reddit that will take Lemmy a very long time to catch up to.
