Fraud is a legitimate concern though. Skimmers are rampant, so I wonder if Oregon will see an uptick in card compromise.

Being able to control 4 seats is so valuable to RBR that I can't imagine anyone offering an amount that RB finds suitable. I think the sister team is here for the long haul.

Insta buy indeed lol. Probably double paid to remove ads and get ultra but that's alright, it's for a good cause and LJ deserves it.

Yep! My sentiments exactly. My favorite app is back and I couldn't be more thankful. Sync was that missing puzzle piece that has completed the Lemmy experience for me. The rest is just gonna be gravy now!

Lemmying from Sync right now and it brings a tear to my eye. I don't think anything other than Sync would have made Lemmy feel "right" to me. And now it does.

Idk for fun? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The argument is that blue states make more money and pay more taxes. Those taxes are then used to prop up red states' economy. But that said, based on what I've researched in the last 10 minutes, it appears to be more of a mixed bag than I thought and the answer as to which "side" is more dependent on federal funding is murky. This is the best resource I've found that breaks it all down.

Personally, I don't even want Lemmy/kbin to become Reddit 2.0.

Reddit from 10 years ago is the goal for me. Reddit has become far, far too bloated for its own good, and that line was crossed a long time ago IMO. Let's just enjoy what we have. Let all the normies stay on Reddit, the people I wanna vibe with are here already.

I think it'll be significant, but it won't be an exodus. I can see a solid ~5-6% of Redditors leaving at once, then a small steady trickle afterwards. 6% would double our current active users.

Yeah, but again that's not on Bernie. If we had more Bernies things would be different, but he's literally trying to roll that rock up the mountain like goddamn Sisyphus by himself.

Idk. I just feel like your comment is ungrateful for his efforts. He's an old man who deserves a rest from all this futility, but I get the feeling that he won't stop trying to effect change until he dies or is too physically/mentally infirm to continue.

Do you realize who tweeted that? Because I feel like asking Bernie Sanders to just "do it" is very unfair. He's been fucking trying for the past decade.

I think it's also bad if you're looking for unbiased opinion. Making it invite only might as well be a way to speedrun the creation of a filter bubble.
