Can we just agree that Inside is a masterpiece and it’s just ineffable for me.

It’s such a great take on mental health and how he suffered through crippling anxiety.

Throughly enjoyed every bit of it.

Oh FFS, OPIndia is a right wing media — almost a BJP’s (Current ruling party) mouthpiece — which also frequently posts fake news and Islamaphobic and xenophobic content. Also, International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) rejected it’s application as a fact checker.

Also, I’m not really sure how much weight the political opinion of a White House singer has.

None IMO. It’s just a very shitty website run with shittier people.

So that means Indian right wing trads and jingoists who plagued Reddit and made literal hate posts are on the fediverse. Fuck.

Lmao, it’s so funny! We pay for made up things in the entertainment industry, but also pay for the truth in media. Ah, capitalism.

Holy fuck man! As someone who wants to be a Web Dev, it’s really exciting to see open source projects where people develop without any financial incentives! It’s mind boggling how much this community is getting together to improve the experience of everyone!

Yeah it’s the convenience of use. Fediverse right now is not convenient to use IMO. Most of the people here are somewhat tech savvy and even then many people did face issue of creating an account and were confused about how the whole thing works. Now try explaining all that to a person that just uses Reddit like the company intends them to.

Ah well, I’ll put my energy into Lemmy and Fediverse projects instead.

I think this is a better place than Reddit already. It’s fairly new and people are excited about creating content. But I think in reality, sooner or later every sub will be forced to open, and everything will go back to normal. Of course some of the users would’ve completely migrated to the Fediverse or other platforms, and it’s up to us whether the Fediverse survives or not.

R.I.P Invidious. Good ol’ enshittification.

glug glug glug?

Is there an image that has better quality? It’s illegible.

I don’t think I’d really want to read my 15 year old posts anyways…

Lol

Yes. The user accounts would also be gone.

Well, I see. All I’m worried about some essential piece of information which could be useful for people will be lost. As an aspiring dev, you do sometimes spiral down into the Reddit hole, for getting a solution.

Ace of spades playing in the background.

Major communities would be lost if any site decides to shutdown.

Yes, I agree. But coming from Reddit, which is centralised and for profit, they have to ensure that their servers run full time.

On the open source side, i.e., here at Lemmy, anyone can build an instance. Which is great for a lot of reasons. But, hypothetically let’s say I have an instance and I can’t bear up the cost of running the server. I would like to close the server down and there exists communities with thousands of users. Then what?

I know it’s easier to spring the communities back up, but it’s just starting again from scratch, and also losing all the important information that had been posted on it.

That’s interesting. If a server goes down or the admin shuts it down for whatever reason, some major communities will be lost. Is it supposed to be like this or am I missing something?

There should be a migrating feature for profiles IMO. Would really help with speed if the server is hosted near to you.

Yeah I think many people who use third party clients will completely stop using Reddit altogether.

Frankly, my first temptation was to ignore the overload warning for fear of missing something by joining another instance.

I think many non tech savvy users won’t understand how Lemmy works and just give up trying to understand how to signup. Plus some instances have a form and users are waitlisted. I think that’s the biggest con of Lemmy.

Well I made an account 10 days ago when the traffic was much less because the devs of Lemmy had just started advertising the site on Reddit.

It would be fucking amazing if Christian ports Apollo for Lemmy. But for that Lemmy needs to have enough audience.

Yes, I try to comment on posts because it’ll increase the engagement of the site and new comers wouldn’t feel that it’s empty.
