None. As long as it's "commercially available", their interest is no longer aligned with yours.
Also, unless you are running your own Lemmy instance, I question your assumptions that using Lemmy is actually an upgrade to privacy and data ownership. I heard this point a lot and I don't see the basis for this. Can you explain?
Why would they be depressed and miserable? They've had a fantastical thing happen to them, once in a lifetime, even if it's for a short little while.
Besides, the rats can just do what humans do when faced with mortality - pass down the torch.
If by "Reddit" you mean internet discussion forums, I guess? It's a super simplistic way to look at things.
Tildes, for example, is pretty clear that they are not and do not want to become another "Reddit".
OP's observation is pretty on point, I would say.
Return of Obra Dinn. Low power but high aesthetics. One of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had and quite perfect for the Deck.
You guys play games on the Deck?

I just started playing Max Payne 3, which released in 2013. The game aged well, still looks great and a ton of fun.
On a related note, the Steam Deck is the perfect platform for Patient Gamers. It runs these older titles really well, and the portability + ability to suspend / resume games at any time is a game-changer (pun intended).
Yes, but it's a feature, not a bug.
It's a super low investment and quick way to identify people you should avoid.
Death Stranding.
I've actually had this game kicking around for a while, never gotten into it until I got a Steam Deck this year and have not been able to put it down since.
The game really resonated with me, especially after having been through the pandemic and surviving the same isolation and longing for connection that fundamentally underpins plot of the game. The characters are amazing (great cast - Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen are just stellar in their roles), the world is vast, cinematic and often scary, and the gameplay mechanics are so deep that I'm still learning new things after 50+ hours into the game. So much to unpack. There is also a fair bit of weirdness, humor and cheese mixed in that is signature Kojima, that cracks me up once in a while.
It is truly an unique game and one of a kind experience. Nothing really like it.
I would ask a different question - is Mr. Beast a good role model for the kids or not? Whether he's a "good person" or not is largely irrelevant, the fact is he is doing good.
Personally I'm a big fan of his philathropy, but I don't think he makes for a good role model. He's found a way to influence and doing good for the world, but I don't think it's easily replicable nor should kids try to emulate him - because to be Mr. Beast, you need to be in the influencer / clout-chasing game, which can have roads that lead to success but at the end of the day, it's an endless game of trying to get eyeballs and capture attention.
I would encourage the kids to forge their own path and not necessarily emulate Beast, but try to make the types of impact he makes in the world.
Sure, and Lemmy existed prior to the "Reddit exodus", so people like Lemmy too.
Maybe enjoy Lemmy for what it is, before trying to bend and twist it into Reddit's image? Why not consider it a fresh start.
Which is kind of my point. Even on Lemmy the "data ownership" isn't really up to the individual users, it's the instance owners. The only way to 100% control where your data goes (as an user) and who looks at it, is if you run your own instance. Otherwise you are still at the mercy of another master, hopefully a more benevolent one.
And if the instance that most new users default to is lemmy.world and that instance is 100K users strong, I think the "smaller instance" argument doesn't really apply there for most users.
