The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.
I'm kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don't have a dozen forum accounts.
It really is. I'm glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.
"Plead to subreddits to not blackout" probably won't be direct, but he'll make asinine points that basically say "You shouldn't, and don't, but I'm not going to ask nicely for peasants not to revolt because you're all just peasants".
I'm hoping it'll be more like craft beer and become it's own market that overlaps with more mainstream options but still has a solid base of users\customers that keep it separate.
I know this won't happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.
I'm looking at a post saying they are going dark and even offer Lemmy/c/sysadmin as an alternative. Am I missing something?
You're an archivist. Though I like that you own the term 'data hoarder' so nobody can use it as a pejorative.
I'm hoping there are enough active 'tent pole' type instances that can keep the interest in Lemmy going through the inevitable scaling catastrophe the blackout will bring.
Kit is missing a lighter.
Really hoping that big tree falls and opens up the canopy for the understory to grow.
I'm just glad to find something that's growing with public enthusiasm instead of dying from corporate greed.
