Is it money? Is it time? Lemmy is crap.

    The potential for future growth being very limited, and people spending hundreds of dollars a year on the server (a price that will only go up) plus all the effort in posting content…

    I see the reason to not continue here.

      Money can be raised. I think people would pay $20 /year to keep this open - assuming they had assurances, but I guess the cost of time effort and headache is the real burden.

      Honestly the rest of Lemmy is a bunch of idiots I have very little interest in talking to.

            Haven’t heard complaints about lemm.ee. And the stated goals and open financials seems pretty promising.

            That said, I wouldn’t know it if people are routinely censored.

              Main site has following rules:

              • No abusive language

              • No bigotry

              • No advertising

              • No pornography

              Obviously last 2 aren’t relevant here. First two, strictly as written, I wouldn’t have issues with but I have seen sooo many leftists sites use the same language to basically virtue signal that they don’t like conservatives, conservative ideas, or speaking out in any way against minorities.

              Like I can understand not wanting slurs or personal attacks. But not being able to voice the opinion that affirmative-action hurts minorities or that gender-affirming care harms the patient as well as society without being called a bigot seems practically impossible on reddit or 99.999% of Lemmy instances.

              Could be these guys interpret those rules literally like I do or could be they interpret things through a Critical Race Theory / leftist lens. I have no clue but I usually put it in reverse when I see this cuz it’s so often the leftist interpretation.

    well for example lemmyworld is being attacked by CSAM right now, so like mob and kapow wanted to try to back off having to mod stuff like this, they want Nostr to structurally fix some of the problems of having to be a “benevolent dictator admin”
