Checking out Lemmy and looking to get my reddit subs here. Can’t deal with C-Suite greed ruining things any longer. Aside from our favorite companies and now reddit what other recent companies have you seen fall prey to short term gains?
Almost every company ever. Most aren’t quite as public about it. A notable one would be when the world’s richest man bought a social media company, lost a bunch of money, and is trying to get people to pay for things that used to be included. So far I like lemmy thought. No risk of corporate overlords screwing us. The no ads is really nice. The userbase is still small and with multiple instances it can be a little intimidating for new people but I could see it becoming bigger.
The rate at which the communities, like PCMR, are being added is both astonishing and satisfying. Sadly, if things really do continue there are going to be bills to pay and server fires to fight and I hope the server owners get the support/funds/patience they need to carry the load.
Yeah it’ll be interesting to see as lemmy grows how costs will affect different deployments. I could definitely see larger deployments turning to ads to support cost. But at the same time Wikipedia is able to do it with minimal ads so there is always hope. An award system where you pay for awards like reddit had would be interesting but multiple deployments may make that more difficult to regulate.
Most major gaming companies really
Blizzard but they just can because people will always get a season pass to get a new hero. What PvE?

Let’s try to fill this sub and leave reddit for good. Because it didn’t exist yet I also did create /c/linuxmasterrace@feddit.de. So if you are a former r/linuxmasterrace member feel free to join.
