Thanks for the great work! According to Christian the revenue received by reddit per user per year was $1.50 (optimistically). I just set up a donation on liberapay of $15 per year with the idea that if 10% of Lemmy users donate $15 per year then Lemmy will receive the same income per user as Reddit.

Wow lemmy.ml feels a lot faster now. Compared to lemm.ee on 0.17.4 the difference is huge and lemm.ee was already very snappy. Excellent work!

Is that on new accounts too?

Votes being public has made it possible to learn a bit about how people interact with posts. I’ve always used the downvote sparingly and I think that is how most people operate, downvoting only what doesn’t contribute to discussion and upvoting what I agree with. But it seems a minority downvote very frequently. There are some accounts that downvote the vast majority of posts in certain communities. Sometimes these accounts have zero posts and comments. Which is pretty odd - disagreeing with so much while never sharing your opinion.

Wunderground was awesome until IBM bought it

I think that is a feature

But even if you drive the car into the ground there is still an associated cost per year as a result of buying the vehicle.
