Every time that happens the fedi retains a good chunk of users. There's significant and stable growth throughout.

This also happened on reddit

Tactical Velcro Opening might apply in this situation.

I've been waiting for more users tbh.

"as long as it's available" is as good as nothing imho.

So when do I get my refund?

Every time I make a post on Lemmy it's instant karma. 😎

Same as tumblr, still around, but largely irrelevant.

Cost of doing business.

Lemmy went from a few thousand users with very little activity to 100k+ with constant activity. It was a massive success.

I got rid of Signal after they added cryptocurrency to their app.

While I have no issues with cryptocurrency itself, it was a reminder that they have full control over the app. Now I happily use XMPP and Matrix for communication with friends and family.

Honestly this is one of those things I'd be fine leaving on reddit. Celebrity worship is gross, and it was never very interesting. 5-6 simple questions answered, promotion of their new book/movie/show, and peace out.

Dude going 50-60km/h over the speed limit on the highway. For whatever reason his hood didn't latch properly and the high speed caused it to fling back, completely smashing the window and covering his view. He had to cross 2 lanes to pull over with no ability to see in front of him. Glad nobody got hurt.

Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.

And we have a handful of large communities.

Short filter on a joint is easier to hold with fingertips, whereas big filter on a cigarette can be held easily with fingers.

His code contributions have always been high quality, and they're audited by his peers. Its very unlikely malicious code would come from him, and even more unlikely it would make it through on to your phone.

While he's certainly unhinged, it's clear that he cares deeply for the project. I can't see him doing anything intentionally malicious.

I really wish him the best, and I'm glad he stepped down. Much better for optics with him out of the way.

PeerTube! Check out TILvids for a good example.

Remote work means a lot of well paid individuals are able to move to less expensive areas, assuming internet is decent.

The fact that the server is still running is impressive!

Liftoff is also very frequently updated. Any complaint I've had has been addressed 2-3 patches after posting about it. They work fast, and they do good work. Big +1 for liftoff.
