how does one pronounce fedier?
Has the ability to create communities also been limited? I've been trying and the circle keeps spinning.
squabbles is non federated.... i just signed up with raddle
I mean, what other reddit clones are there?
The real answer is I don't know.
I don't think lemmy's code has any space for ads. But its open source and anyone can change it. Anyone who runs an instance has full control over it, and i'm sure they could inject some ads somewhere.
Well, there are schisms happening already. My local city not only has a community here on lemmy.world, but also one on the instance hosted in my city. Communities will be split and people won't find each other.
Might I suggest we start paying for it this time, from the beginning? All of the sites we have been enjoying since the birth of Google have been a lie. They are all on borrowed time.... myspace, google, facebook, youtube. each was loosing money for a decade before they had to start making money. We could CHANGE THAT NOW, if we all agreed to start chipping in on storage and transmission costs. I have no faith that it lemmy will last forever. eventually, it'll get centralized somehow. But we could keep it decentralized for longer if we start normalizing having to pay for the content we enjoy
sure, its "not acceptable" that the majority of your users are democratically voting to take these subs to NSFW.
This is the last gasp of the irrelevant. Just like applebees was blaming 'the kids these days' and their avocado toast as to why they won't pay $17 for a microwaved cheeseburger... That generation was out of touch with the modern consumer, and instead of ADAPTING (like capitalism says it does), they blamed what should be "their customers" on their business model failing.
Well, reddit is being just as myopic.
To them its "not acceptable" that the majority of its users have changed their minds and are actively trying to ruin the site. They just can't accept that idea, so the behavior is "not acceptable". Get a clue guys. Just because we keep loading your website doesn't mean we're going to keep being your free content and moderation generators.
Hear Hear!
I'm sick of the internet being only 5 websites!
Eh, more like, get your own car. Its slow because we are all used to going to just ONE site. We need to share the load and create our own servers.... or pay lemmy.world for more bandwidth - which I don't think they want to do.
