You seem to know what you're taking about.
Why would the Beehaw admins make Beehaw a Lemmy instance? Would it not be easier to achieve what they want through an old-style bulletin board or literally any other forum software?
This feels very much like using a laptop as an umbrella. You can, but why would you?
What do you mean "what happens"?
Either the CVR and FDR survive or they don't and the final report is written without them. Neither are indestructible and they fail or are unrecoverable in a fraction of cases.
I don't necessarily disagree with your logic, but if I was a CEO trying to take a company public I wouldn't loudly and publicly talk about how unprofitable the company was either (on the AMA).
Every day is a surprise.
I think I might have felt differently at a stage of my life where I didn't have nearly as much disposable income as I do now.
Over the past few years, I've adopted the attitude of trying my hardest to pay for the things that I would be genuinely disappointed if they went away.
I have system-wide ad block, so the $20 or whatever for Sync actually bought me nothing other than the knowledge that if LJ decides to pack up Sync and go and work for a FAANG instead, I don't need to feel guilty.
This attitude would be unrecognisable to my younger self.
Maybe wherever you live. In first world countries, it's fairly straightforward.
I find it difficult to take your complaints seriously when you - by your own admission - were posting anti-trans dog whistles.
Nobody is obliged to host your shitty views - even on Lemmy.
...yes. That's exactly what they're saying. Obviously.
How could they possibly give you a price without knowing anything about your business or the problems you want them to solve?
Ah, so it's, like, a brutalist, function over form preference?
From your perspective - yes, exactly that and I think that's probably the best way you can understand it.
From my perspective, the old.reddit.com UI (with RES) is possibly the most beautifully designed web page I've ever encountered. I certainly couldn't have used it almost daily for the past 12 years if that wasn't the case.
I can focus on content much better when the UI is breathing. And I prefer clients that have images already expanded, to save me the clicks.
I can understand and respect that while thinking you're insane. If I had to guess, your formative experience with technology was via touch screens and I think that would go a long way to explaining your preferences.
For me, post uniformity is important. It feels like I'm in control of the experience and I'm browsing rather than having things shoved in my face. I have Imagus installed so I only need to hover over a link to see the picture and so I can just look at the pictures I'm interested in - one at a time.
Full disclosure - my earliest experiences in the Internet were bulletin boards and that probably had a formative part in my preferences. I'm also probably undiagnosed something.
RES is hanging onto life with its fingernails - it's been in maintenance mode for the past 18 months or so with only 2 people actively working on it (at its peak in 2015ish, I think this was closer to 30).
By their own admission, they wouldn't be able to survive any major breaking changes.
If anything, I think LJ missed a trick by not having the option of doing a double subscription (so £3.99), and saying the extra £2 gets split between the instances, weighted by the time you spend time on them.
Mine worked before the latest upgrade to v18, although I had to hover over the top right of the thumbnail to get it to appear.
Now it just loads a scaled down version.
I completely agree with your point - power mods were a huge problem.
Also, even if they're stupid enough to put up their tariff card for how much a Director/Manager/Associate billable hour is, they're just going to get annoying questions about "Why does a manager need to do this rather than an associate?" as well as the "We think this will take you 7 hours - why are you quoting for 8?".
Not working for me.
It it as utterly terrifying as it looks too an outsider?
Opening up a new subreddit in the past few years had like a 50% chance of having 4 out of the top 10 posts people obnoxiously whining about X: "Please can we stop posting about X","Will the mods please start removing X posts?", "If something doesn't change soon, I'm going to start a new subreddit and the first rule will be 'No X'".
Meanwhile there are zero posts about X in sight.
In that you know to avoid the weirdo in the corner wearing a "Ask me why I know morse code" t-shirt at the party?
Pretending you're blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.
Really appreciate the response - thank you.
I just had a handful of domains tick over renewal on Google Domains in the past week, so I suppose I'll have some time to see what Squarespace is like from an administration perspective before I end up having to commit to renewing with them.
Tl;dr Italy invented the pizza but the US invented the pizzeria.
In what way?
Any reason you're not just sticking with Squarespace?
supreme court legislation
The supreme court does not legislate. No court of any kind should be legislating. That's the damn problem.
The reason the US is in the position it's in is because while the rest of the world was going through its bodily autonomy revolution and democratically legislating abortion access, the US relied on a judicial decision (without a lawmaker being involved) based on a fragile foundation of "right to privacy".
I have been thinking this over the past week on reddit every time I see a "Lemmy/Kbin needs to sort out X, Y and Z otherwise it's going to fail massively." or "Lemmy/Kbin is impossibly hard to use/sign up for". Usually with CAPITAL LETTERS and emojis.
Like... ok. I don't think you'll be missed with that attitude. At least for the time being.
Thank god we've got people like you to incessantly whine about it and show how little they care by commenting about how they don't care.
Not at all more obnoxious than the original post.
I don't think you're technically wrong, but I think with the reddit migration it's overall damaging to the concept of a fediverse to have a large instance defederate with two huge instances.
There are people who are just getting settled only to find out they now have to use two accounts to access the content they needed one for yesterday.
