Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Repost of a previous thread on !ask@lemm.ee: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/33116369?scrollToComments=true

Just came out of a discussion when someone was arguing that โ€œif everyone here would pay $10-20 per year, the whole platform would be completely differentโ€, but that seemed quite unrealistic to me.

What do you think?

I frequently criticize their attitudes yet at the same time I also appreciate so much that they have released the Lemmy sourcecode as FOSS. I highly respect that decision - so much so that I tend to think of them as (extremely) difficult friends/allies rather than some kind of opposition

They both simultaneously hold back the wider adoption of the Threadiverse among a more mainstream audience (who enjoys being explicitly made fun of? yet Lemmy.ml makes fun of Western culture all the time, on top of / in addition to their disdain for capitalism), even while having helped the portion of our shared cause SO MUCH by having created a truly viable Reddit alternative. It isn't perfect, but it's damn fine and I enjoy it, and therefore props to them. Legit I wish I could say that more often too, without doing so bringing out all the trolls.

Bc fuck spez, that's why!:-P
