Lemmy is not going to be Reddit. It will not inherit the reactionary behaviours. Ensure civillity and disengage if uncomfortable. Have a good time!
Early impressions sound like Apple may have actually pulled this off. Here’s what [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/5/23750003/apple-vision-pro-hands-on-the-best-headset-demo-ever) had to say:
> Was all this made better by the wildly superior Vision Pro hardware? Without question. But was it made more compelling? I don’t know, and I’m not sure I can know with just a short time wearing the headset. I do know that wearing this thing felt oddly lonely. How do you watch a movie with other people in a Vision Pro? What if you want to collaborate with people in the room with you and people on FaceTime? What does it mean that Apple wants you to wear a headset at your child’s birthday party? There are just more questions than answers here, and some of those questions get at the very nature of what it means for our lives to be literally mediated by screens.
I definitely agree with that. I’d like to try this but I don’t know if I’d ever want one.

As we reach the second half of 2023, what are some of the supposed releases, or news you’re looking forward to?
Well, this is an interesting example of a pay for social network that apparently has existed since 1985. 2,700 members is not that big a site in the modern internet. So if you don’t want to become a unicorn company or have wide appeal / access, it seems like it does work as a business model?
I’m vaguely intrigued but I don’t really want to put down $15 sight unseen for a month to see if the forums are even interesting. Then again, I can’t imagine they get bots at that price either. Probably very limited ads if any.
I am always excited by alternate operating plans for social media online – this one is kind of the opposite of Lemmy, but also the opposite of the major players. I guess orthogonal in reality.
BTW / OT: How do y
