Pretty great tbh. The tricky thing with being an early adopter is you kind of have to be the change you want to see, but I’m old enough to feel no shame about just barging into places and starting new threads as needed.
So far started two accounts on two different instances (I like to keep different subjects somewhat separate) and had really cool interactions on both.
Obviously there are a few UX issues, trying to sub to remote communities is kind of a nightmare, but hopefully I’ve subbed to enough that other people on my instance will find it a bit easier to find them through search.
I don’t want to have a subscription for everything. It used to be possible to pay a one-time fee for software and use it as long as I want. Now I have to pay a monthly fee and once I finish paying, I can’t use the software anymore. And it’s not like I constantly get updates for the software. Often it stays the same for months or years.
I understand that software has a price, but no way these prices are sometimes justified…
I think it's almost inevitable that users in their initial migration will troop to the more visible aka biggest instances. In time it should level off and people join a handful of the bigger federating instances
There were some suggestions to change the order of instances on join-lemmy.org so that smaller instances are shown near the top. So that could help to spread out users better.
Thanks! I used to have a .ml domain, but got rid of it. I couldn’t depend on it after they sent me an email saying that I had “unauthorized content”. It was a redirect to my fb at the time, which was defined by them as an authorized usecase.
I know you mean satiric as satire but I sort of read it as “sarcastic” which fits with your reply, lol. A weasel that is ineffective on the internet, because satire is dead.
(I Know, answering 2 days later kinda defeats the purpose of my name… Mine is an obscure and regional reference, so i wouldn’t be mad if you don’t get it.)
What you should be asking is whether the cables qre the bottleneck in your network or not.
Is there any link that is not negotiating 1Gbps? Do you have devices that could push 10Gbps but the cable is not allowing it? If not, then there’s no need to upgrade them.
Unless, of course, if you want to do it just for fun, which is also a legitimate reason 😄
A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.
Exactly. I feel like this is one of those instances of “We’re spending time thinking about whether or not we could, when we should be thinking about whether or not we should.”
I moved across the country to live with someone I was mutuals with on Mastodon, and then became her girlfriend a couple days later. It’s been almost 5 years now and we’re still very happy together! She’s my best friend and the only person that I feel understands me completely, and it still feels unreal that we even met at all.
