I think this was the comment that pushed me to actually contribute to lemmy code. Thanks

My perception is you are trying to talk people out of donating to maintain lemmy, while using it yourself?

What does this even have to do with piracy ???

Your information, the data itself, goes through their code to reach most people on lemmy.

There is piracy and then there is talking others out of donating

Why don’t you a pull request and fix it yourself ? If you have the ability to recognize and know what to fix, and if you care, do it!

I know I’m too lazy to help them, what is your excuse ?

I swear, I might just get off the fence and help them myself on unrelated issues, it’s making me that unsettled

But you use the software they make…

Pretty sure it’s an oversight but devs are overworked, really overworked

There are many more important things to fix before this.

But an issue will put it in the todo list

I am a lazy unreliable person. But I find value in what you found and want it fixed.

If you don’t do it, it probably will not get fixed so fast

I think you should also make a GitHub issue too

I’m clueless about the discussions about this: but my concern is that, over time (years) most user activity will be on a handful of well managed instances. Smaller instances will come and go.

Seems the working fediverse needs server teams that are not too big or small.

I feel gloomy thinking this will be a bottleneck for diversity, expansion and growth on lemmy.

It was having to use the marketplace, and seeing the deliberate control of data that ensured the highly inflated costs were paid.

I do not know if they ever allowed a full export of data: but what data was entered was used like a hostage later, blocking exit or integration with other tool chains.

For anyone reading this who are considering this set of services: run.

Having been stuck for years in the atlassan ecosystem, changing my opinion from cool, this is nice to … burn it to the ground.

This is interesting and I hope it takes off

The current ftc doing something constructive?

Most likely situation is that this will not happen now, or years from now

I can flip a coin to decide if any Nobel peace prize winner is an arse, and be correct more than not

The working poor don’t participate in yougov that much.

• Trump — yay

I attempted to download a car once, but front wheel got stuck in my router. Was huge mess

There are so many things wrong with the situation in the article.

I don’t want any misunderstandings, if I were a corrupt mess of a politician who would receive money from this, I would love it.

But as a small Texas citizen, I just see less money going to my community later, and worry about the increasing corruption that is more and more upfront
