Well that was annoying

that sucks

While I do completely agree, changing ports is more about getting rid of low-hanging fruit so some script kiddie doesn’t get into 22. But again I do agree with everything you said.

Cool, fleeing one megacorp run by a huge tool for another megacorp run by a huge tool

Holy shit that is quite a lot

maybe

If you’re going to do something, do it well.

Can you provide specific and detailed examples

…what?

Unless they actually meant singing

No

Is that last one almost like a reverse proxy?

I’ve seen so many shills on today bending over for meta, don’t know if they’re plants or just love the taste of boot leather

Absolutely agree. I love the high barrier to entry and how it has kept the conversations (for the most part) more substantial.

Killing a potential future competitor

I’m on lemmy.one and have had zero issues

Yeah I can agree with that

1000000% agree, you said it perfectly.

I especially get so pissed about houses. Houses are for living in, they are not speculative investments. In my culture, a family builds a house and then their descendants live in it for hundreds of years. The house is part of the family and is considered a living entity with its own god. When I visit Western so-called “developed” countries, all I see are shoddy houses thrown together by the lowest bidder and meant to last 50 years tops, within which time they’ll have been bought and sold a dozen times by people who don’t even know one another. Capitalism ruined Westerners’ connection to the land and one another.

I am one of those people who does not want massive widespread adoption. Then we just turn into something else to be monetized with no privacy or security. If someone wants that, there are plenty of godawful social networks they can go to.

I see this in the Linux ecosystem as well. Everyone who wants it to overtake Microsoft or Apple is more than willing to sacrifice what makes Linux better in the first place just for what? Numbers? I would rather have the greatest thing in the world that has a steep learning curve so only twenty people use it but who appreciate it than sacrifice everything about it that is great so 20,000 people can use it.

Same with Signal. People complained about the devs getting rid of SMS support because now Memaw won’t use the app anymore, despite the devs stating that to keep SMS support would make the app inherently less secure, which is the entire point of the app.

I think the reality is just that microblogging is always going to be devoid of content when compared to a messageboard system like lemmy or reddit
