I always really liked South Park’s Satan when he explains addiction to Stan.

9·1 year agoI did. Probably wasn’t worth downloading that app.
No surprise there. Was dating a girl and she asked me to sign up so she can get some discount. I already knew it was a trash app but signed up anyway, because sex.
I’ve never seen a more cancerous app in my life. Got her the discount she needed, promptly deleted my account and uninstalled.
What a silly argument. I guess next week they can donate the other half of their wealth for the next disaster and just be a broke poster on lemmy, eh?
Let’s see the receipt for your donation of .03 of your net worth, then?
Wanna see mine? I don’t have one, but I’m not sitting here complaining about people who donated 10M, either.
Huge plot hole that nobody’s talking about, smh.
Yes please! Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml shouldn’t make up the majority of my feed.
I think best case scenario, you have themed instances based around art, tech, politics, news, gaming, food, etc, and the largest communities are hosted there. Then you have “catch all” instances like lemm.ee which federate with everything, there can be as many of these instances as needed as the user base grows. These types of instances should be where the bulk of the new user accounts go, assuming just an average user looking for a /all replacement. Curated instances like beehaw allow for a more fine-tuned experience, but should still function basically as a catch all and not as “hosting the content” instance.
However I understand that building up to that is damn near impossible with the current infrastructure. We would basically need a means to migrate an entire community to a new instance, while simultaneously updating everybody’s subscriptions to reflect the new home of the community.
Do they think they have to sit and watch them grow?..
Y’all dumb motherfuckers want a key change?
I’ve never seen a more succinct comparison of cats and dogs.
I meaaaan. I’m sure the maintenance isn’t being done just for the fun of it. Presumably if you ran your own instance it would just be you doing the maintenance instead of somebody else.
He’s so misunderstood.
He’s so misunderstood.
Obviously this community has two valid, opposing viewpoints on this, but I’m with you. I just can’t imagine that the small amount of traffic generated by those actively protesting really amounts to big bucks or metrics for the site.
Meanwhile the ability to immortalize “fuck [the CEO]” on his own platform is probably pretty rare throughout human history.
I’ve had a small breakthrough here in a way that helps people understand, especially if they are Reddit users.
Have them pull up r/all, and just scroll a few posts and tell them to imagine that every subreddit is interestingasfuck@reddit.com, pics@reddit.com, gaming@reddit.com, etc
Then explain that Lemmy works the same way, except the content doesn’t all come from one website. It’s part of a network of sites that have agreed to an open protocol so everybody can share information freely.
You can explain the pros and cons if they’re still listening lol. But this seems easier for people to conceptualize, for whatever reason.
I guess all the “ENHANCE” we saw in movies and tv wasn’t bs, just ahead of its time.
