Because technology advanced a tiny bit and it does make more sense.

Even if it dies now, it will come back with even better hardware.

Your statement sounds like, “why did they release the iPhone, there are already PDAs”

Why is it free, i selfhost to get rid of snooping companies

I don’t click on clickbait i’m absolutely sure it’s misleading or wrong.

If someone has a valid point, tone it way down, i don’t expect anything serious out of it.

“Why blue isn’t a color” isn’t something i’m interested in.

But only the whole account, or did that change

I won’t watch this clickbait, but forks who succeed the prior are exactly what we call democracy.

If you care anything for quality it’s FLAC, compression ratio will affect the size

…bill?

As long as it works perfectly and it makes no security related headlines, i’m fine with running abandoned ware.

If something stops working it’s time to find out the alternatives.

Not every little tool needs weekly updates

Thank you for doing this

I’m not forced into anything, i can choose to not contribute anything to Reddit and still read it via alternative frontends to keep user number measurement low.

I found a place here and i choose to contribute here with people like me going the extra mile just because we can and we have the options. The majority can stay over there, some of these people made my blood boil too often anyway and i’m far better off with like minded people.

I’m using Lemmy and Mastodon and so many open source projects because i believe in it and want to support the cause.

I do think it’s blind hate from OP

No major problems for many years running an instance, there is room for improvement though.

I’m fine with it so alternatives will be used more in the future.
