I mean I could be completely wrong but I think that’s where federation actually comes out on top. Look at Reddit, apparently still not even profitable. However if someone on Lemmy owns an instance and infrastructure costs get too high they can stop new communities and users from joining until they get more money through donations or whatever ways people come up with sourcing income.
Again though, this could all be completely wrong and misled but that’s what I think at least.
Yeah, I had never understood why people were so upset about Meta joining the fediverse but after reading that I do agree that there is a lot of damage it could cause.
I think this comment 100% reflects how I feel as well, and I especially agree with your roommate. I’m a decently tech savvy person as well and between learning about federation and overthinking which instance to join it took 20-30 minutes to join Lemmy. I think the people in my life who don’t enjoy stuff like this as much will need me to help set up Lemmy or they won’t join at all.
Yeah without knowing anything else about the world, hiding and guarding seem like the best options.
I haven’t been on Reddit to see for myself however I believe I heard someone on Lemmy say that /r/conservative was making a big deal about NOT blacking out? I have no context and no clue why I just know I’ve heard people say that.
Have you heard of the establishment known as Taco Bell? It should check all of your boxes.
Yeah I agree, Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing and not just a Reddit hate platform. But so far the experience has been great.
Fuck u/spez
I can’t wait to try out CS:2, however I hope the new improvements don’t come with too much of a performance hit. With no mods and only 1-2 DLCs I’ve had CS:1 chew through RAM and crash like nobody’s business. Still super excited though!
Yeah i agree that if the question can be in the title it should be imho. It’s nice to see what the post is about in big bold letters up at the top. Obviously some questions will be too long but in any other case I think it makes the most sense.
I think it depends on the person. I’m usually fine with it but I know people who would be out of commission for two days after a single Doritos locos taco.
Bones are like 15% of our body weight I think so bone loss probably would be effective lmao
I didn't necessarily think about some of the overhead that your comment brought up when I made mine. I like your idea about opting out of some features on certain instances and I think that makes sense for quite a few users/communities/instance hosters.
Yeah I agree with the Mastodon suggestion. Lemmy would work but Mastodon probably makes more sense.
Up until now most of my research had said that kbin was basically Lemmy, but different. After some more research and looking through other comments you are definitely correct.
So far it seems I’m the only one here who uses a fruit spray to wash their fruit under water. After reading this though I think I want to check the ingredients lol.
I 100% agree! As someone from the US I always disliked that even subs which were supposed to be global would default to being US subs unless the poster specified. I too love the idea of a global community and I think that assuming where someone is from kind of takes away from that.
