Fundimentally, as long as people get enough content to last their commute/poop/lunch break without crawling back to reddit for additional memes, Lemmy will be in a good position to make it.

But I agree with you, discussions about reddit don't make for good content for everyone in a sustainable way. Those discussions I'd wager appeal most to the true believers who left on principle, not the average user.

We had to do the same thing with our last dog. The cone freaked him out too much. He would stand still afraid to move shaking in fear, and he never was able to adjust. Pants and even long sleeve shirts for the front legs were non issues for him.

I like your approach. The right thing to do now now may be different than the right thing to do later, gotta just be pragmatic depending on the state of the community and the state of the infrastructure behind it. I think the desire for unlimited and fast growth at all costs is a trap people often fall into.

5.5% for 1 year GIC at EQ right now.

Enforcement is hard and expensive. I'd bet it's a question of weighing the cost-benefit of pouring resources into enforcement vs letting them peter-out and diminish over time.

Predictions? Will this be an actual decision or decision-lite again?

I feel this comment! Makes me feel better about the state of things. Entropy, entropy everywhere.
