I get what you’re saying, but that train of thought isn’t very productive IMO. First, I agree with you on BlueSky, and I even tell that to all my friends switching to BlueSky, but I also believe it’s better than Twitter.

I think we should stop and ask ourselves why people are choosing BlueSky over Mastodon. How do we learn lessons from this switch to BlueSky and use what we learn to draw more people into the Fediverse?

I know I’m probably being idealistic, but I also think being pessimistic won’t increase our chances of winning in the end.

It could grow into something that could be used to organize locally! But for now, I think the goal should be information and comments shared on our terms, not on big social media’s terms.

And isn’t it our job to normalize Lemmy as much as Reddit has been normalized? Though I guess that depends on your goals for Lemmy. I would like to see it overtake Reddit. Whether that’s an unrealistic goal or not, I say we aim for the stars and see how far we go.

I also hope it stays not monitored, though I would happily pay $1/month to support running costs.

Unfortunately, I am an Apple user lol. I don’t hate the products, but don’t care for Tim Cook, and I hate their labor practices. I also hate that they are anti-right-to-repair. I do appreciate the quality of their products and software. I hope the government slaps them with the biggest antitrust lawsuit.

Moving forward, I will be considering alternatives due to the ethics of their manufacturing. I am a big open-source supporter, and I understand that my support of Apple is a bit of cognitive dissonance. But I do wish Linux could find a way to deliver a product that feels as refined as a MacBook. I would be willing to donate to an effort to do so.

How expensive is it to host your own instance? Assuming you aren’t doing it in house.

If you have 2 1/2 birds don’t you just have 1 bird?
