Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

It's real hard to break a habit that's been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I'm trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc

Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason

Brilliant insight. They probably are tracking metrics on what will encourage people to buy stuff the most too

We should probably call them communities because, well, that's what they are so we don't confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn't reddit

Very rigid routines and coping mechanisms. For your tab problem, I use OneTab to collapse and save them all into a searchable list for later.

So the key for me has been "offloading" and "outsourcing" is what I call them. Memory tasks I offload to my phone like reminders, obsessive calendaring, note taking, and to do lists. I automate as much as possible when it comes to systems designed to make me get on task. Basically, if executive function is a limited resource (it is if you have ADHD) the less decision making you have to do, the better. Pre-make decisions and go from a script or playbook. That's my calendar and notes.

I really appreciate what you're doing, but I'm worried how this instance will continue scaling. What happens when it gets to 1 million users? 10 million? We can scale vertically only somewhat, but horizontal scaling seems to be limited to "just join a new instance 4head" and that just...doesn't have a good experience.

Personally I have a very poor opinion of tankies, but that doesn't really affect how I use Lemmy...unless all the good instances are taken over by them. I find the obsession with effectively random people who don't actually have that much influence over individual instance moderation a purity obsession.

Better plan: have a huge "we're migrating!" Series of posts to direct to here and make it read only.

98% continue using, 1% stop, 1% move fediverse

I came to the same conclusion as you: why would people buy their stuff if they could just run an unlocker script or edit a config file to give that stuff to them? It's basically malicious DRM

I have a small contribution: another kind user I have since forgotten (rip) recommended Jerboa for Lemmy as an Android app to use. It's much nicer than the web browser experience IMO. I heard there's also a good option on iOS, so feel free to chime in if you know what that is. I heard on HackerNews that some people plan to make their own Lemmy instances effectively private so they can simply use it as a personal feed and go anywhere they please. Sounds like a great idea, honestly. Imagine an IowaMan instance, for example, and I would simply control it however I want. Not sure what the reqs would be tho.

Will it explicitly and repeatedly mention communication carries on over here? Because most people just do not know

I'm actually in awe of how well they handled this choice because each one of them has fantastic ironclad reasons why. I chose Lotus because I viewed her as wanting to "reclaim" that role for herself. She isn't Margulis, she isn't Natah anymore, she is the Lotus who protects and stabilizes the Origin system.

I want to see them try!

It was a huge source of troubleshooting and solving really niche problems. Lots of people know about appending site: reddit to Google searches as a result.

Square Home is utterly fantastic. For those that have a Fold like me, it's compatible with that too :D I made it look a lot like Windows Phone because I loved that vibe.

Good luck doing that for 8000 subs

What are the potential downsides to this? In other words, why isn't it like this stock?
