Just paying a visit to lemmy because Sync is out, and all I’ve seen is this. Lemmy is just another reddit, isn’t it? People here are no better like what they believe themselves to be, still the same everywhere.
That’s so lame. I use morse code over a manual, human-translated, secure wire.
God you guys are such losers. I use semaphore shown to a string of orphans dotted along the hillocks of every country.
Yep, it’s literally just another Reddit. The main benefit is that it’s decentralized so it’s not under the control of a single corporation, but yeah, it’s mainly ex redditors on a service designed to be an alternative to Reddit
I hope that the lame jokes that were recycled for well over a year stay there, though. Certain repeated jokes were becoming just as annoying as ads.
Those “jokes” actually caused me to start blocking people, and I’ll do it again if I have to lol. It was like reading the same comment over and over again, which got pretty boring.
Well so far everything on lemmy has run on the goodwill of instance owners, lemmy maintainers, and app developers working for free. Sync as far I can tell is the only thing so far to bring an openly capitalist approach to lemmy, and it depends on the free hosting that instance owners are providing. I don’t have any problems with people wanting paid for their work. However, I can see how it’s a little jarring to see an app charge such a subscription fee while some big instances are struggling with hosting costs and likely pulling in much less in donations.

Sync’s pricing is inherently socialist. LJ owns his own labor and is able to decide what is done with it. If you don’t want to pay then cool, there are plenty of other options.
It’s also inherently capitalist. Maybe profiteering would’ve been a better word? As I stated above, I have no problem with people getting paid for their work. He can charge whatever the hell he wants.
This probably speaks a bit to the fact that reddit in itself was nothing special, and the people were making it what that is and what it ain’t was before it could be.
People moved here, so we’re seeing that here now. Reddit was a loss in the same way your favourite pub closing down was - ye had to find a new place.
Now, erm, clears throat… This is the way.
Yeah the majority of people, like myself, came here after leaving reddit so it’s not surprising. Some instances are already speed-running the censorship and mod abuse too. The lemmy.world admins decided to pre-emptively defederate from another instance purely based on the admins own ideological stance. Can’t possibly stand the thought of having people that have different political views than you being able to share those views, oh no. Gotta shut that down before it even starts. And remember - these are the people that call the other people fascists.
Lemmy looks more and more like reddit everyday. It was nice while it lasted, but confidently incorrect jerks like you who don’t even get the point of decentralised platforms are going to ruin it.
Lemmy is just another reddit, isn’t it?
No, not really. It’s all user supported and regulated without any admin oversight.

Ok.
