You should see what happens when someone posts news about Windows

We can cherry-pick projects too.

Lemmy barely gets enough donations to fund a single developer.

core-js, one of the largest JavaScript libraries, was cussed out for even having the audacity to ask for donations.

Donations aren’t the steady source of income you seem to be thinking they are.

You’re right, Firefox deserves a little blame for that. :-P

Congrats on the release!

How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.

What’s bad about IPv6?

The fact that this is the top comment sends a funny message about the Lemmy community as a whole.

Federated?

You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.

Expect to find more of this type of user on Lemmy.

I’m noticing a lot of people are just… “anti-everything”.

Edit: Case in point: The person further down this thread who said your comment was too long LMAO

It’s unsolicited advice.

It would be like you posting about a minor annoyance with Minecraft, and then having multiple people tell you to ditch it and play Minetest instead.

I will now attempt to invalidate your opinion by parroting the words “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”. :^)

But the entire point of E2EE is that you don’t need to trust them.

There’s a point to be made for web apps, but with their client apps, the source code that encrypts your data is right there.

and now that a new owner is taking them all

But they’re E2E encrypted? I don’t understand the issue here.

I don’t think the person you replied to actually knows what they’re talking about.

I’m confused. I opened the first 6 issues featured in your lemmy-ui link and you closed them all yourself?

As others have already said, Lemmy does not require a display.

You might want to try the Ansible method of setting up a Lemmy instance. I personally found it much easier.

Not a fan of clickbait.

Edit: I was mistaken, my bad. I thought the article was referring to the admin deciding not to renew the queer.af domain, which was reported a few months ago.

Maybe ask the people what they find confusing about Mastodon, and listen.

I’ll give you example. Say I want to sign up , but mastodon.social has currently closed sign-ups. People tell me I can just sign up on any instance, but there’s dozens of them and they all appear to be the same. As someone who’s not familiar with federated services, I don’t know what to base my instance decision on.

How would you help me overcome this choice paralysis?

Why was it a hard decision for you?

Not the person you replied to, but when a few friends of mine tried to migrate off Twitter, mastodon.social had closed sign-ups. So with the “official” instance unavailable, the issue was that there was a choice at all.

While there’s only one “Twitter” or (presently) only one “BlueSky” to join, on Mastodon you suddenly have to decide which instance is the right one to make your account on. Which instance is most likely to stick around for the next couple years? Which instance is most aligned with your interests? Does the instance happen to (de)federate in any way that is a deal-breaker for you? Is the instance moderated well? You wouldn’t have to think about those if you signed up to BlueSky.

It’s an issue similar to what Linux has with distributions.

Most potential contributors are on GitHub.

It’s yet another instance of the network effect.
