If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit’s daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don’t think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate.
I know the goal of Lemmy isn’t to make money, but I know that servers and storage costs add up quickly. Not to mention the development costs.
I would love to hear the plans for how to offset those costs in the future?
How about “let’s support kbin. Lemmy is a tire fire waiting to happen as it seems to be written by tankies.”
@elight
Tankies are right
@buda
Jesus this got massdownvoted by Lemmy tankies! xD Luckily there isn’t the same impact on Kbin when viewing the OG comment.
Down voted because if the code is good, then you can fork it if the maintainers really get out of hand. I’m very opposed to the CCP personally.
From the information in the OG reply it seems pretty out of hand to me though, which makes the switch to Kbin that much easier as it’s just plain better, and have full functionality to interact with microblogs. If Lemmy was the only one it would makes sense to fork it if needed, but now we have like 3 reddit-like fediverse platforms that we can choose between.
What’s the 3rd platform?
It is called lotide. You can read about it here https://sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/ , I guess there is also a 4th one called prismo, but the developer put down their project for various reasons, so i don’t count it in.
And Friendica has full groups support, AFAIK, so it functions like an inverse kbin, focusing the microblogging but giving full group access.
We should encourage more, frankly. Misskey has exploded in forks, and it’s meant good things.
So long as they’re interoperable, the diversity in experiences is good for all of us.
True!
@elight @buda I support this message 😅
Oh, I’m wrong. I appear to be sort of banned but with no notification or warning. I can see the content here when no authenticated. When I authenticate, I see no comments on this post. Cute. And lousy moderation.
I love it when people get banned but somehow they’re still commenting on the same post which got them banned with absolutely no problems. Sounds like a very real ban.
Yet our messages were removed from the thread.
Seems to make my point for me. They’re hiding who they are.
Your messages are still visible.
