I can forgive the issues with Kbin and Lemmy because Reddit has had more time and resources to build the platform. My hope is that with the new attention and the open source nature that Lemmy will show consistent improvement to where I don't feel like I'm compromising.

Pros

• more attention to the Fediverse and all the advancement that may bring with it.
• If the Fediverse ever becomes mainstream corporations will end up with their own content on it so having Meta join would provides early insight on how the Fediverse may be effected by becoming mainstream.

Cons

• Some instances may not have the server load to support being federated with Meta
• There's a decent chance it hinders healthy growth (Like a Cuckoo hatchling that starves out the bird's actual children.)

To be fair, reddit is the same way. There's an r/pics and r/pic and r/pictures and r/picture and r/photo and etc.

What happened is eventually one of the subreddits (r/pics) rose to the top and the rest are either made private (although that could be the protest) or only have a few users. Lemmy will likely end up the same way, with some of them being popular and some not popular.

The only way I can see multiple popular communites for exactly the same topic is if there is defederation involved (for example, if Beehaw never rejoins the web as a whole, or etc).

There was a time where I'd boot up Libre office for tasks that Google docs wouldn't cover. But it's been so long I don't remember what it was.

Now I just use Docs for all my personal work.

Edited my title because I realize it implied that Phreak was behind the changes (which is possible, but noone has said it yet).

Anyway. No, i haven't seen any talk from any devs as to why the changes are being made. I assume Phreak will talk about it in his usual patch rundown whenever these changes hit live but I don't know how many of those changes are actually his.

I really need to go back and play it. I played it briefly a few years ago but didn't get much past the first act.

Nostalgia trip right here. This song got played at just about every major boyscout camp I went to. And from what I know, still gets played at those camps.

I feel like the nature of Lemmy better fits a community with "anarchy" in the title anyway.

reopening in a restricted form

What are we talking about here? Will it be a protest similar to r/steam or r/pics, a restriction on who can post/comment, or something else entirely?

I rolled up a Tumblr account because I was thinking the same thing, but it really doesn't fill the social media niche I want like Reddit.

Lemmy is doing a much better job of that, although I'm curious to see what happens to the user base as time goes on.

The simplest TTRPG I've used is FATE. I've had very good sessions with this system and the simplicity of it encourages Role Playing over mechanical complexity/min-maxing.

Yeah, if I stick with Lemmy (which seems highly likely) I want to put up my own private instance for similar reasons and maybe even invite friends and family that I can talk into it.
