When the… power is out? Where do you live where that’s a concern and how do you heat your water without electricity?

When a clown moves in to the Palace, the clown doesn’t become a King. Rather, the Palace turns into a circus. (or something like that)

This is basically the solution. Just give a few words to explain that different servers can have some rules differences and offer the easy join button.

Get people onboarded fast and easy! If they want to, they can learn more afterwards.

Totally agree. But the inclusion of multiplayer shows they are listening to feedback, as a large portion of the playerbase wanted to have that.

It’s not about cringe imo, more the point is that the comments don’t look real at all - it’s all bots

I like the discussion on nicotine, but yeah. Op’s “medical moment” seems unrelated to nicotine!

Sinfest was the bee’s knees. I still have 2 of the first printed comic books, treasure them and the memory of fun times with early sinfest. But it should have ended many years ago already, author ruined his legacy.

Stopped using reddit, started lemmy Switch chrome to firefox

Seeing many with these same ones, but that’s me!

I believe you have to think a little more long term before submitting to the idea that “I can’t change anything”.

Can I change things in the next 1 hour? If you’re broke now, probably yes you will still be broke after 1 hour.

But that’s not how life works. We go to schools and develop ourselves in other ways, to have a better life 10 or 20 years later.

That’s an implausible take. Loyal employees wouldn’t go for such a ploy and disgruntled employees … well, conceivably would take such action on their on volition.

Tiedote oli tyypillistä pöhinäjargonia - OP ei valaissut lainkaan, mitä pilveen siirtyy ja milloin. Itsekin pitäisin kriittisen infran siirtoa pilveen huonona, mutta on vallan todennäköistä, että sellaista ei ole todellisuudessa suunnitteillakaan, vaan siirtyvät palvelut ovat jotain korttimaksuja (tai muuta maksunvälitystä) vähäpätöisempää.

Why do you care about downvotes? You sharing your opinion and perspective is what makes the platform better. Other people clicking an arrow means nothing :)

Redditillä on kymmeniä miljoonia käyttäjiä joista tiettävästi vähemmistö käytti näitä kolmannen osapuolen sovelluksia. Tämän sekoilun myötä “reddit exitin” tulee toki tekemään mittava määrä käyttäjiä (itsekin tein jo), ja olisi hienoa jos vaikkapa Lemmystä kasvaisi sen kautta riittävän aktiivinen korvaaja redditille. Mutta reddit pysyy miljoonaluokassa vielä vuosia, ellei ikuisesti.

Eihän nykyään facebookissakaan moni voisi edes kuvitella olevansa, mutta silti miljoonamassat erilaisista käyttäjäryhmistä siellä pyörii ja tulee pyörimään vielä pitkään. Eli osa porukasta lähti jo eikä välttämättä palaa, mutta siitä on pitkä matka siihen että “tavan tallaajat” edes miettisivät vaihtoehtoja. Porukka kuitenkin pistaloitunee ainakin jossain määrin eri palveluihin.

Vielä on liian aikaista pohtia, voisiko Lemmy kasvaa edes lähelle redditin nykyisiä mittoja ja montako vuotta siihen kestäisi. Mutta vähemmälläkin kyllä taitaa saada aikaan käyttökokemuksen, joka täyttää redditin jättämän aukon?

I’m starting to think the splintering caused by instances blocking each other is going to cause users to abandon Lemmy entirely. At the moment instances can suddenly decide to block other instances, and that is going to hurt both users on the instance that put a block into place, as well as users on the blocked instance.

The blocking is awful for an average Lemmy user, because you can get cut off from communities you already subscribed to, without any notification! So you might post and comment without realizing that your content is not getting published, even though you and your local instance still see it.

The user experience would be improved by getting a warning if you try to contribute to a community in this case. And also your subscriptions should show warnings about not working anymore, and those should come up as notifications on the account.

Another caveat with instances is that some instances block each other. If you made your account in Instance1 that for some reason blocked Instance2, you can not interact with or even see any content from Instance2.

So that also fragments the world here. It may well be that if you actually like some communities in both Instance1 and Instance2, you are forced to have a separate account on each (happened to me already)

An instance can crash, close down or somehow disappear at any time, and if that happens all the users, communities and content in those communities from that instance is lost forever. Right?
