I agree. The one upping and leaving phrases as a subsequent replies thing was so annoying. I hated it.

Lemmy devs aren't great people anyway, in terms of who you want to be developing software. Anyone that would think hardcoding word censorship into their software because it's theirs has a few screws loose, so I wouldn't put it past them to have done this intentionally.
I do wish kbin looked a bit better on mobile, though. I have larger font on my iPhone and instead of wrapping, the text just goes off the screen and can't be viewed.
It's more fun to publicly comment on, mock, shame, and laugh about a bunch of idiots that died doing something stupid than reflect on the driving forces behind a boat with 700 people on it capsizing in the Mediterranean.
Yes, and all of those links on those news areas put users on the news sites.
The amount of traffic they drive to the news sites is payment enough.
Does anyone else smell diarrhea?
The software is open source. No one owns it.
Different instances are run by different people of varying political backgrounds.
Mastodon leans left mostly. Pleroma leans right mostly. Lemmy leans left and even has or had hard coded censorship baked into their software. Misskey is Japanese language mostly, or populated by weebs of all flavors.
Your experience will definitely depend on who’s running the server but the overall integrated platform can’t be shut down by any one person or group. You can always change servers or platforms and reconnect with people.
This would have been better if they had created a Federated platform so we could subscribe to it from here. I'm tired of using a dozen apps to do basically the same thing.
From what I remember from the last time I opened it, they added streamed content with ads. That's the only thing that seemed weird to me. I think they started charging for streaming content outside of the house as well, but I only ever used it to stream from my PC to my TV.
This is all good info. I still use a VPN with my private tracker though. You never know.
What if they actually just want responses from people on Lemmy, though?
