As soon as Lemmy instances are unsustainable out of pure interest for the concept of the Fediverse. I doubt there will be subscriptions, first it'll be donations, and then some instances may have ads. It's an inevitable that both will happen (either on the same instance, or some instances opting for donations to stay up, and others opting for ads to stay up). No one can run the servers necessary for this platform out of pure charity; the bill for the Fediverse is going to be due someday, and it has to be paid.
Rip Reddit
I never thought a man could hate Reddit so much yet act like a Redditor until I saw this post
It's for ones that lock themselves off from other instances (look at how beehaw is, for example). Not every community is meant for everyone online. Communities can be obscure, and gatekeep people, if they really want; that's the point of Lemmy, in my opinion. You do what you wish with it
Aren't Ron DeSantis' goals in line with the exact opposite of Fascism? He's attempting to cut down the size of the government, and basically prevent most government intervention in education (by eliminating it as any sort of federal agency, albeit I suspect there'd still be some "anti-woke" education bills). You can say his views are in line with hate speech, but equating it to any sort of Fascism is just plain wrong.
NTA. Adult children definitely deserve to know what's up with their family.
The issue is the lack of long-form content's ability to interest you. Nobody hates watching long videos now, it's just that it's far harder to find interesting content on Youtube than it is to simply scroll on tiktok, watch a video for 10 seconds, like it, and then get recommended videos alike that one you just liked.
this looks great imo!!
