Looks like an excellent way to earn a broken freakin’ neck.

I at least modify the layout Windows to be more like 7.

Or just specific software that is not available on Linux.

It’s completely necessary.

How else does one click hotkeys while standing?

I can’t speak much on modding. I was a mod of a sub that only lasted a day or two and was shutdown. So my experience was very limited

That new ugly UI.

It’s so damn cluttered.

Potentially. Though Reddit claims that the vast majority (like 90+%) used the official app. Of course, if such was true then you’d expect they wouldn’t pull the rug out from under everyone.

I can believe a majority used the official up. Maybe even a supermajority. 80% maybe.

But throwing a fit over 1-10% of your user base and doubling down when that low percentage doesn’t agree? I dunno.

It’s a big enough number that made them want to kill the third-party apps but it’s small enough that they felt they could survive the backlash.

A lot of this sounds familiar.

I just wonder of this is actually going to have a similar effect. Controversial decision but I’m pretty used to seeing companies get away with shitty choices.

Could yes.

But only if they’re able to survive and thrive. Money is a very tricky thing.

As for my example, I was talking more about something like Red Cross (random example) wanting their own Lemmy insurance. Why they would want that. I was really just jesting about the shit posting

Or maybe nonprofit organizations. Though I’m having a harder time imagining why they’d need a social network site, especially if it’s federated with our shit posting “sublemmies” or whatever we’re calling them here.

Unfortunately, the reality is that it may become necessary.

Donations can be a saving grace if enough people donate regularly. But such is dependent on people’s willingness, their own financial stability, and how stressed servers are (how much it’ll cost to upgrade and/or maintain infrastructure.)

It’s great if it’s viable. Means there’s less outside influence. But that’s if.

As far as I’m aware, Wikipedia has been able to maintain it purely off donations. But I’m not sure if Lemmy could.

Maybe? One thing Lemmy does have going for it is that the majority of users seem to be aware how… Fragile? the fediverses can be. There’s arguably more passion behind the users and maybe willing to throw support out.

But hard to say.

6k now.

Tell me about this “Digg.” It sounds so familiar, but I don’t think I actually ever used anything called Digg.

Chili does sound like it’d be better with rice though.

Always some going off in early July and late June.

Weird, thought I was on this account when I made the comment.
