I don’t have an issue with any of this. Private Business owners can sell their products or services to whoever they want. Don’t see what the big deal is. If you don’t like it, there’s plenty more competition willing to take your money.
Nothing better than being greeted with Futurama, for the Fediverse when new episodes of Futurama drop in July! (I’m extremely excited for the new season)

imo the servers have already been having trouble from time to time. Get all kinds of weird issues. Would be very willing to see like a monthly donation goal in a sidebar or something

Today I’ve started a recurring $5/month donation to lemmy.world. Scaling up infrastructure to meet demand is expensive, and they need as much help as they can get to offset their costs. I’ll most likely bump it up to $10 a month if the software continues to improve the UX and performance. I encourage everyone that has the means to, to even make a one time small donation to your local instance (if possible), as these first couple months will be critical in the growth and sustainability of this federated community.
I’m glad there’s an impetus to change. I have some reservations about the fediverse, but I think it’s got the right idea and will evolve into something better itself, or help us learn more about designing social media systems for users.
He fired the worlds biggest experts on the technology at Twitter and thought he could do it better with a skeleton staff. Now the dead body rots. The skeleton is there. It smells musky, and the site has died.
There was a movie theater when I was a kid in the 80s and you could see movies that had already stopped being shown in the regular theaters for a while for $1. So, like, if you missed Return of the Jedi or Temple of Doom in its original run, you could catch it later on the big screen for $1.
First comment for me! 11 years on Reddit, never talked much but lurked a lot. I can’t use their official app so I’m here now and looking forward to see the community grow!
I’m in a similar boat. Was a big lurker on Reddit for a decade and finally made the switch once Apollo went down. Really like the vibe of Lemmy so far!
I read some time ago (that was before the Twitter acquisition) a Fellon Muskolini apologist say that “He is always the smartest person in any room”. It’s clear now that this is absolutely true, as long as everybody else in the room is a rutabaga.
The Muskrat is the dumb man’s idea of a smart person.
If he actually is the smartest man in a room, it’s because the smart people got up and left because they got tired of his bullshit.
