They signaled for two more quarter point increases this year apparently - so not really sure what to think.

Are there any sites in the Fediverse written in .net? I'd like to contribute to these sites, but I haven't touched PHP in over a decade.

What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? in c/[email protected]

This speaks to how bad Google has gotten IMO - I do it too.

so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process? in c/[email protected]

I'm not convinced you need corporate money though. I think grants/user contributions (add the awards concept like Reddit has?) can get you pretty far a la Wikipedia.

I don't want corporate social media full stop. As soon as there is a profit motive things will always slowly decay.

I just hope it's viable to survive on grants/donors a la Wikipedia. Add some "awards" like on reddit, and that should help as well.

For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, the odd hangs are a little iffy (subscribing and upvoting). Though I actually like the UI so far since it's very clean. If I care enough I could always implement my own custom CSS using the "Stylus" extension in chrome/edge.

I tend to agree. Just not sure comparing Lemmy to Mastodon is fair, since they seems like different platforms (eg. Reddit vs. Twitter).

I just hope this is the start of an internet renaissance with less corporate control.
