“Discord said users will be able to turn off the ads in their settings.”

Your own rock, in this economy?

It’s federated, so the local user count is completely irrelevant.

Especially when OP even specifically said that you would see the SAME content, just with different sorting.

And as soon as they have any competitors we might consider it

Lemmy has Hot, Active, and Top sort modes, all of which are different indicators of engagement.

Also, for whatever reason I actually do have ONE single post originating from kbin, from 3 months ago:
https://lemmy.megumin.org/post/128103

I’m guessing this is the first one I tried subscribing to… so for whatever reason I managed to receive that one post, but then no subsequent posts, comments, or votes.

All of my Lemmy subscriptions seem to be working fine.

Mine is definitely more than just “a bit” broken. I have 20+ communities subscribed for over 2 months and 0 posts. No issues with any Lemmy communities.

Way too long to actually be useful for converting anyone.

These are not “mistakes”, these are willfully evil acts.

I’m just going to quote another comment here:

Billet Labs sent their best prototype (as in, the only one they had) to LMG for review. Linus proceeded to strap it to a video card where it didn’t fit, so bad that there was a 1mm gap (which might as well be a million miles when you’re talking about cooling). Of course the performance sucked due to it being strapped to a card it wasn’t designed to fit, linus trashed the block and the company. And here’s the part that just fucks me off. Billet Labs SENT THEM THE CORRECT CARD WITH THE BLOCK! There is literally no valid excuse for putting it on the wrong card, Billet Labs sent them the correct one!!!

Combine that with the image in the OP, and there’s just no excuse. These are not the actions of someone that “intends no malice”. This is not an “accident”. This is not a “learning opportunity”. This is not a “mistake”. This is a person doing everything in their power to selfishly extract every dime they can from both their viewers and this startup.

They intentionally lied to the viewers because trashing a product gets more views. They intentionally lied to the startup because they got more money from selling the prototype.

They do not deserve any sympathy.

Works for me

The Alignment Problem by Brian Christian should be required reading for this community

… exactly?

Someone pointed out an advantage of smaller instances and you were the one that said small instances have a problem (lack of communities), and I’m the one pointing out that your supposed problem does not, in fact, exist.

TL;DR small instance good

You can join any community on any instance from any other instance, as long as the admin hasn’t blocked it.

Local communities are totally irrelevant when deciding which instance should host your account.

I’ll use IPv6 as soon as my ISP starts supporting it.
