Trees don’t generate large profits this quarter, obviously.

It’s about the service.

The same reason parallel parking is done backing in.

You’re missing the point, the article is wrong: it’s not about the prices.

Yeah, it’s reall not even about the prices. It’s just so inconvenient to go between all those apps, and then login forgot your password, rest, 2FA so i have to get up from my couch and grab my phone.

All these paid services could be totally free from a monetary perspective and I still wouldn’t sign back up for them. It’s a worse service than cable TV used to be at this point.

I used it since netscape navigator XD

You’re literally the only one talking about buying it, and it’s not YOUR software, it belongs to Microsoft. Your boss just rents it and makes a profit having you work on it.

They’ll be worse, as qe abstract computer code more and more, less people actually have any idea how they work.

Yeah dude, just make a new account. If you’re attached to your account the govts use that against.

I guess the problem from an idealistic standpoint is fine, let them sue. Hosting an instance is not about being profitable. Do what you need to do as far as shell corporation and all that to protect your personal finances, or just close the instance instead of censoring. The community is just people who will find another instance, it’s not empowering to treat people like they will fall apart if you don’t submit to hegemony.

Now, it’s just an instance that is perpetuating unfair systems of power, instance of helping to democratize the internet.

Sure, so because I don’t see trump as a savior im mentally unhealthy. Great logic you got going there.

They’ll know about it when it’s a good product. And , they do know about it, every fuck spez thread had lemmy memtioned as an alternative. At this point, any redditors who cared about the api changes know about lemmy. And that’s fine if you want to go on reddit and spam lemmy links.

But it makes no sense to go to current reddit mods who are committed to volunteering for reddit six weeks after all this shit went down. They like reddit and dont plan on leaving, if they did they would have six weeks ago.

Yeah because trump is going to solve those problems, man GTFO the republican and conservatives are a complete joke, as flawed as the democrats are and as amazing as presidents lincoln roosevelt and eisenhower were, the republicans of today are literally just a joke clown army for putin.

They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won’t work.

No, we’re blaming OP for trying to make lemmy more like an ipo-minded business.

Naturally meaning make lemmy a good experience and people will come. Begging redditors to come won’t help anything. Hell, OP and anyone else is free to just set up an instance where a bot reposts whatever gets posted to reddit front page, or a specific sub. That’s a fine idea i think to help lemmy grow, as is any idea that will improve the Lemmy experience. But there’s no need to spam reddit mods and ask them to help grow lemmy.

Yeah lemmy can do the same, but begging redditors to switch won’t help anything. I was part of the digg migration, nobody on reddit ever posted on digg to go switch. I just searched for something else, and reddit was there. I certainly didn’t spend a second thinking about digg afterwards, and i wont think about reddit either.

If you invoke hitler, you already lost the argument.
