Good job!

I see 4, none appear as removed.

You don’t know what an NDA is lol, NDA = Non Disclosure Agreement, it’s very specifically tied to the things they’re revealing to you, Threads NDA means you can’t talk about what they’re telling you about Threads in that specific meeting, it has NOTHING to do with Lemmy.

Having admins knowing what they’re planning isn’t bad IMO, they more you know, the better you can counteract them.

I fully agree with you, karma “whoring” is a serious problem on reddit, awards could lead to the same behavior here if implemented.

Donations are the best way to support the platform, if you want to be “visible” as donator, opencollective allows you to post a message about it, there’s also a sort of top donators page, that’s more than enough in my opinion.

Oh no :( I missed that, did they say why?

Haha me too :D

If you want you can test it yourself, there are 3 test instances separated from live ones, links in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/335015

Content is just content, it’s links, it’s media, whatever

Content is not all the same, there’s quality content and there’s shitposting.

“facebook content” is mostly - to me - shitposting, astroturfing, botting, propaganda, etc. as reddit has become lately, while lemmy content is mostly quality discussions.

I don’t want shitposting burying quality content here, that’s what will happen if we don’t do anything about it.

Not to mention corporate control, look what happened to reddit, and look at how many scandals there are about faceboook (now meta) as a company, why do you think they want to join the fediverse, they don’t give a crap about quality, their only interest is in monetizing stuff, embrace - extend - extinguish, I don’t want ANY of that happening to lemmy.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they’re not innocent at all?

If I wanted to see facebook shit I would use facebook, I stopped using whatsapp when it was bought by facebook, I don’t want to see their content overwhelming the fediverse, that’s why I’m here instead of there.

Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?

That always happens when a new platform is born.

Tech/nerds are always the ones moving first because they don’t mind the quirks, they’re not scared of bugs or instabilities.

They start building up communities until the platform is ready for the rest of the people, it was the same for reddit, tho it happened so many years ago the new people wouldn’t even know about it.

So beautifully put, it was a pleasure to read!

I fully agree, I came here before the blackout started, with the purpose of being involved in lemmy communities as much as possible to stop caring about reddit (it worked btw :D).

Since then I’ve seen a few complaining lemmy doesn’t have this or that, lemmy is not ready, etc., forgetting that reddit wasn’t done in a day either.

I think the most important thing to remember is that we - the users - have all the power to build up communities, not the higher-ups always running after profitable quarters, it’s we who built up reddit from nothing and we can do the same here, we just have to be willing and patient, as you rightfully said, and not give up at the small obstacles along the way.

They do for some reason, we have had a serious problem of thousands of bots registering on instances with no protection, admins have been working hard to put the situation back into control.

Lo hacen por alguna razón, hemos tenido un problema grave con miles de bots que se registran en instancias sin protección, los administradores han estado trabajando arduamente para volver a controlar la situación.

Crazy!! I don’t envy the admins lol, tho they’re doing a fantastic job in keeping the server up.

I don’t understand. Reddit is exactly the same, it has thousands of different subs, many with overlapping content, many duplicated because someone didn’t like the mods, yet I don’t recall people saying reddit was broken because of it.

Why is Lemmy suddenly broken just because people naturally do the same reddit thing here?

Can’t we just ask for a feature like multi-reddit that lets users aggregate different subs into the same feeds (like sort of collections) instead of trying to reinvent the wheel?

Regardless of what happened, beehaw is not for everyone.

They aim to be a safe haven for people that are afraid to be harassed for who they are. It’s a noble goal IMO but to achieve that, they have to moderate their instance quite heavily.

If you’re not their target audience, you’ll find it too restrictive.

Can you please stop posting users numbers until the bot situation is under control? Putting it like you’re doing is misleading, half of them are bots (if not more).

I think they’re really nice people in general, they just have their own purpose that might not align with everyone.

I prefer to join instances that are more open about accepting “non-perfectly-aligned” people, it’s more up to you to fend for yourself and conflicts can occur ofc, but also more interesting interactions can spur from it.

I do understand what they’re doing and I do respect their choices, it’s just not for me, that’s it.
