As long as you enable the ‘bot’ tag, so I can block it, it’s fine.
Lemmy needs to stop trying to copy Reddit; community names like Earthporn, Foodporn, F*ckCars etc. Voting is broken on Lemmy because it’s broken on Reddit.
The biggest thing Lemmy needs right now is commenters. We have more than enough news links with no comments.
The same way “anyone” could make an HTML5 compliant browser. The reality is you can’t do it unless Google lets you.
Their motivation is staying away from open platforms, and protecting their members’ IP rights. Gotta thwart those pirates.
AMD is nearly 100x the size of Valve, and they couldn’t get HDMI 2.1 approval on Linux. Nvidia somewhat has it with their proprietary drivers, but not nouveau.
At least one person got the joke. 😁
“We need to develop a one universal standard that covers everyone’s use cases.”
What’s bullshit about content creators? I enjoy watching documentaries from The History Channel or The Learning Channel. If someone does a bunch of research and self-publishes a documentary, they’re somehow less valid?
The article isn’t about anybody “making money off the fediverse”. It’s about finding a way to make the fediverse viable, considering that everybody wants to use it, but nobody wants to donate.
Thanks for bringing it up. Nobody likes to talk about money in the Fediverse, but it’s a fact of life.
I’ve stopped making Peertube videos lately mainly because I got tired of donating. We’ve got to come up with a better solution.
Wow, that’s huge. When Vlemmy went under, it was the 16th largest, so about the size of Feddit.nl or Pawb.social today.
I remember hearing about it. How big was it, in comparison to the others?
I heard about Lemmy.one, but I didn’t know Kbin was gone.
No, I’m talking about instances that just disappeared without a trace. Maybe I’m just unlucky. (or maybe I’m bad luck for instance owners)
I’m fine with anyone saying “surrender your man card”. It lets me know I can safely ignore this moron; they have nothing of value to add to any conversation.
[holds banana upside down] Now if you look at the top of the banana …
Everyone else: Freaking out over unlawful detention, loss of civil rights, corrupted education system, asset forfeiture, bank collapses, “law and order” police brutality, detention camps, locked out of housing market, insurrection.
Black people: First time, huh?

Finally, a chance to cash in on my bored lemmings.
I like my privacy and all that, but I would never let it get in the way of investing. When you’re old, broke, on the verge of being homeless, eating low-grade ramen noodles for every meal, are you going to say “At least I kept my privacy intact!”? F— that.
As with any business/industry, if a company limits you to a certain platform (like phone apps), find a different company. There are plenty of competitors out there.
Personally, I would go the S&P 500 mutual fund route. It’s too easy, and it beats most other investments out there. But if you’re determined to go the DIY route, you do you.
TL/DR: I do everything on my desktop. I can check my accounts from my phone, but it’s not required for anything.
