The great thing is, now you’re 100% empowered to move forward and host the responsibility yourself. Demanding volunteers shoulder potential liability (when you yourself admit you can’t understand how there’s any in the first place) is juvenile.

The moment a volunteer is hit with a DMCA notice or any threat of legal action, you think they have any interest in going through the court system? You can do it first.

I’m gonna hold that is was immensely more fun around A10-12, but to be fair I haven’t tried the latest release.

History became legend.

Legend became myth.

And for two and a half thousand years, Foul Bachelor Frog passed out of all knowledge.

I think it’s because when it is illegal it’s ultra illegal and ultra terrible. Even then I question how much of it is already pretty sus.

To be fair, platforms like this will originate in that shape for the significant future. Reddit did as well. I’m not white, but work as a software engineer.

Anyone that bothers you based on your hardware is an actual 🤡

Let go of that thought. Reddit is (probably) here to stay. Lemmy will have less users, less communities, and tbh, probably less quality content. That’s okay. Grow your seeds.

I always wanted a Tesla. I’m now in a position I could buy one comfortably, but now I have a spine and won’t.

I graduated at 27 and got an internship in SF. Life changed.

We might have to accept we’re on the “losing” side, e.g. Lemmy will never have the numbers our subreddits had. We’ll have smaller communities and less content, but hopefully better conversation.

Lemmy is fun.

Someone literally hacked my account and bot posting for cryptocurrency. I requested account recovery from Twitter and it all just went to hell after that. The process was bizarre. Repeated instructions for steps I already finished, the entire process starting from scratch, no replies.

So my account is out there now, doing who knows what. Congrats, it’s a bot.

Or, for the time being, this platform never takes off and reddit’s moat temporarily prevails. Eventually Reddit will die, but no one can predict when.

WE made the content. The community. No doubt the majority of level-headed folk would have accepted ad requirements in 3rd party apps. Hosting isn’t free, something needs to be monetized.

But that’s not what it’s about. It’s about locking down content from the new wave of AI models and charging for it. Charging for content we created freely to be shared.

The flux of users is probably more than what the servers can handle. It will take time to smooth it out.
