If they didn't make all stupidly nearsighted decisions they could've been a leading AI company, especially with all those language data they've been collecting almost exclusively with all the spam filterations mods been doing for free. Stupid as hell.
Hopefuly it won't need bunch of mods to have enjoyable gameplay anymore. Default traffic was terrible and mods were the driving force of the gameplay improvements.
awkward silence
Lemmy seems to be doing pretty well so far. I don't expect nor want lemmy&fediverse to completely dominate world of social network. That would only make spam/bot worse imo. I want it iust enough for me to enjoy.
HARD PASS
I don't even have meta/ig account
What's there to federate about image cdn? If you don't want to use 3rd party service just self host. You just have to make compromises either way.
I'm not sure about the longevity but a lot of people use discord as CDN apparently. There's even an API for that.
Kbin = Reddit + little bit of Twitter
DuckDuckGo 99% of the time, ~~Google~~ Startpage if I'm having trouble finding something.
*Note: Startpage uses Google as their source of search result.
It's not crashing. It's just more than 7-80% of the requests getting request error because most of the subreddits went private. It sure does looks like crash to a completely uninformed users but it's not a crash as we think.
And reddit -> lemmy migration script is going to be one of the easiest thing you can write. That is without the API limit and the sheer amount being the biggest problem...
