Bruh, did you even finish reading my comment? I know it's fucked up. But you were wondering why it'd be such a big deal to provide them with free materials when there are only 16,000 of them. And the answer is because they were always planning on selling it right back to them.

If the goal was really to sell educational materials, then yes, those 16,000 people are the vast majority of people who would ever buy intensive Lakota language instruction, and that's why he's refusing to donate.

There are a small number of linguists specializing in Native American languages, and probably an even smaller number of non-Lakota amateurs. For the rest of people, a YouTube video will satisfy their curiosity and they would never pay for a full course.

But it would be a dick move for them to spend all that time with a community for the purpose of preserving an endangered language, and then make it harder to preserve the language.

Been a while since I checked Lemmy, but I am in Michigan, too. Though I'm not a native speaker, or even very good.

Dude is a lawyer from Florida, so he's likely conservative and doesn't want Trump to lose the election for the Republicans.

True, but Cubans are the only Hispanic group I know of that lean Republican as a whole.

As a millennial with gen Z teens, theirs is worse, though somehow not illegible, lol. They just write like literal 6 year olds.

I thought the point of paying servers a living wage was to make tipping unnecessary.

I was one of those 350 complaints. Submitted one after her ridiculous testimony.

Too many variables to do a real comparison. Age difference, technology difference, userbase difference, administration difference.

Reddit used to be great, and that's why a lot of us are here now. It's not a problem with the technology or userbase (mostly, though past a certain point the popularity can become a detriment). It comes down to the administration, which I think is the only thing Kbin/Lemmy has got over reddit right now, but it is a major thing.

Relay is that best reddit app that I used. I'll be sad to see it go, because I'm not subscribing to a service to browse reddit.

It's being addressed, but for now just subscribe to the communities you want to see and change the post settings from "all" to "subscribed." No auto refresh.

Instances with funding sources will have the best hardware capable of supporting the largest communities, and will have the most activity, but then aren't people's feeds still influenced by capital, like with reddit, in the end?
