Ive tried both. I prefer Memmy. But i feel the Mlem devs are doing their best. Give them time. We will see some good competition between the two!

Yeah your issue is youre looking it from the perspective of a cancer cell. Growth isnt always good. Too much growth and you run out of resources. Keeping things sustainable and self sufficient and not reliant on loans and “infinite growth” ponzi economics tends to work better in the long run. (Example: libraries)

Slice!

Giving and receiving gold was surprisingly, one of my least favourite things. Someone gave me gold once and i felt beholden to say thank you? I didnt ask for it, i didnt comment in hopes of getting given “gold”. I never gave anyone else gold. Why would i give a shit about getting it myself? Its a fucking forum.

Deleted my one and only account I had left and have no intention of returning. LME feels nicer to use and i like the idea of separate instances and more decentralisation. Gives more agency to more people.

I love VX bro

Still a big deal. Having a company owned by Microsoft decide to pull out of using your site is gonna drive traffic elsewhere. Reddit is only as useful as the content produced by users on it.

Probably a lot. They love bootlicking

What we need is a group of “hackers” like lizard squad back in the day (yes the dumb hacker trend we had) to DOS or spam threads with bots. Or DOS reddit mods and admins of larger useless subs that arent considered critical resources for important real life shit.

Yes im condoning dumb shit that got old over 10 years ago, but at this point… does it matter?? May aswell just be dicks with it.

Apparently i sound like a bot when writing applications…

“i do think the blackouts are pointless”

I think they have misconstrued youre line of thinking, they think that you meant any form of protest is pointless. When really you just thought that the one tactic used doesnt achieve much.

Yeah, If its just me on my own instance i would only have to run it when im actually using lemmy. Saving energy on my own, and bandwidth and load on other instances maybe?

Reading this was funny. Maybe its the tism but i couldnt tell if this was two people being honest with one another or being passive aggressive?

Eitherway, thanks for making the entry to creating your own instance easier for non-techies. Pls keep the “cancel at anytime” thing.

True yeah. Im just hoping more people move off these kind of websites to be honest. Shame to see more money go to them.

It is horrible. Obviously i use funny in a way that i dont think its actually funny.

They feel they can get away with it because unfortunately in today socio-economical-political climate they CAN get away with it for the most part. Theres still gonna be twitch streamers who feel like they have no option but to continue streaming on that platform, and redditors who dont really care about the API change and dont mind New reddit & the official app.

Those groups allow them to get away. They’ll die at some point, but not yet unfortunately.

Ooo i was subbed r/nolawns and love solarpunk, guerilla gardening shit

I think the aesthetic and layout could be tweaked but im quite happily, happier than i was with reddit even, with how responsive and easy to use the UI is.

Even typing a comment i have all these text and image options beneath the text box right now, i havent used them once but could see potential uses for them. In reddit i would have had to do some dumb shit with formatting to get that kinda stuff, so my posts and comments were just text with paragraphs and occasionally a picture.

I may consider running my own federated instance at some point but we shall see!

Their own feedback section on their site. Otherwise… ???

Waste of money.
