And that’s why corporate media will always suck.
Does this feature help our users? Yes, but does it make us more money? No. So we’re not doing it.

Almost everything looks dumb on tv if you know what to look for. Almost everything related to guns, computers, or driving looks ridiculous and fake. It doesn’t stop them from doing it, nor does it stop people from enjoying the entertainment.
One of the reasons I used a throwaway email here.
I’d love to see one. Lots of people just want a casual device with a big screen. And I love the all in one form factor.
Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used “new” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.
Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.
Excellent!
Agreed. It sounds to me like lemm.ee is in good hands.
I think it’s natural that there should be a small collection of large, production-class instances that host the vast majority of users. The important point is that there are more than a few, and certainly more than one.
I also think it is important for instance admins to lay out their plan for how they intend to host and fund an instance if they intend to be production-class.
We also need some kind of account backup and migration tool so that if an instance goes down, those users can easily recover on another instance.
We’ll, they could always be isolated from the main fediverse network. Ultimately it will be good moderation on your instance that is the deciding factor. If another instance won’t moderate or has a content policy that allows it to collect offensive material, then your instance will have to defederate.
I’m sure there will be a few distasteful Lemmy instances out there that have been defederated from all mainstream instances, but I guess that’s OK, because they can do what they want in their own space.
That’s one thing I really like about Lemmy. You can’t forcibly silence people* you can only disconnect/isolate them. (*unless you own their instance).
So we should focus on maintaining the health of the main fediverse network (the interoperability between mainstream instances that are responsibly moderated).
Companies have been gorging themselves at the free buffet of open source software for a long time. But now the party is ending and many things that used to be free are no longer free for enterprise use.
