Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

Granted. Everyone from twitter, facebook, reddit and tumblr now hang out here exclusively. Lemmy adapts to the new audience over time. Some of the larger instances add monetisation and advertising in order to offset costs, and then they fall to greed. Corporations try to buy instances to turn into business ventures and dickwads try to turn smaller instances into investments. Lemmy becomes exactly what it was created to avoid.
