Because the site goes down too often. I get it, not the developers fault. But it will take off only if there is more reliable.

I think this is why net neutrality is so important. Back in the days the electromagnetic spectrum was not as heavily regulated as it is now. Technically anyone with the technical know how could set up a broadcasting station. Then CBS, ABC, NBC all got together and did exactly what these companies are doing. They banded together to make it harder for the average person to get access to technology. This is their primariy goal. To give their companies priority at the network level (seconds matter) and also, most likely what they want is to 1. Find ways for their content to be regulated differently and be sold as network packages 2. Probably allow their content to be delivered through means that require people pay THEIR ISPs. Now, i will be honest. I have not read the article but i knlw this has been the intended goal for many years.

I swear the God. It feels like Musk gets in a room to concoct how they can make their company shittier.

“Elon, how about if we make the app more appealing to a wider audience by moderating hate content?”

“No, but what about if we get rid of the reason why it’s valuable, we rename it to a shitty name, we allow more hate and then we demand people to provide IDs?”

“Umm, sure…”

I am not leaving unlesa somehow reddit pays me to go back to it. I am a man of conviction. I went back just because i got a notification of someone replying. Other than that, that’s it. I am staying here whether this takes off or not

Wondering if reddit or Musk are behind the attacks?

But they will never know what is like to be under the fear of a cold war and a nuclear attack…oh, wait, shit!

Mr. Putin, bring down this wall!!

You would see an overdraft and a fee charge on your account where you had 37 dollars.

Is it possible to replicate to another community as a back up? Kind of a Master-slave DB?

We need to learn more about the exploit. Lemmy essentially runs on donations, we all need to support this site. I have a lot of faith in lemmy. I am a reddit refugee and i think it is reminiscent of the early days of reddit and not the pos that it became.

In my opinion we need to make a distinction between social networks and aggregators with forum-like experiences. Reddit is easily replaceable because sharing links is like the easiest thing to do. I started using lemmy and not planning on using reddit again. So far i have abandoned all major social media. Only use whatsapp. The internet is rotten right now, however there are so many amazing things that are not social media that we are yet to discover and for those looking for information not people, the internet still has a lot to open. Social media is a cesspool.

I will salute right meow

Man so far i am loving lemmy and the fediverse. Clunky? Yes. But i love this real sense of community that was lost at reddit. Losing RIF was truly a blessing in disguise. I hope more people will move here but even if they don’t, I am ok. I am sick and tired of my data being something that goes to feed the pockets of some corporation. Fuck it.

This was a great discovery for me. I love the federated system. Look, you can’t ask for decentralization while also demanding a centralized community. This system works a lot for me. Yes, i know there is also the issue of some communities closing and getting “defederized” but regardless I prefer a system that will be resilient and not compromised by a CEO or shareholders bs. I prefer my data to be disposable and spread throughout multiple private servers than under one big fucking corporation
