Mastodon should just leave us alone!

That’s kinda ignorant of the HUGE amount of work it takes to build an alternative Reddit, not to mention the community management and moderation tools.

Why not just deploy a Lemmy instance, turn off federation and call it a day?

Apollo is also more than just a consumer for an API, they run their own servers as well create a better user experience.

A lot of controversial comments. Here are some of my observations:

• Not a single mention of decentralised finance/DeFi in the comments, which is a game-changer.
• A lot of outdated information or misunderstanding of recent developments in the industry
• A large focus on scams and crypto bros, who are the loudest but definitely not the majority

I mean, most Lemmings (lol) hang out in Beehaw anyway, so centralised fediverse is already here

The L2 experience is quite poor at the moment, which is more an indicator of how bright the future is

Not recommended though, RPIs aren’t really suited for production

It was kinda shocking how negative public sentiment is. I am deep in crypto world so I am used to much more positive feedback on the stuff I am working on, because I guess I mostly hang out with crypto people

Gambling except the expected value is higher than 0

Nice rights! Its probably harder to exercise than you’d think. Has anyone tried for Reddit?

I’d be so sad if I were in that position :(

But maybe I’d also be making so much money that I’d be happy :)

Eh its fair enough, but the actual process of OSS isn’t much different to just working software at a job.

Now finding a project to get your teeth stuck in, that’s a bit harder. But that’s less a technical skill and more about having enough introspection to figure out what you’d like to work on for free haha

I’m a filthy Australian so I still can’t buy it in stores here… :(

Maybe Steam Deck users are more prone to leaving reddit or something.

I mean, instances federating against each other is sorta webrings but on steroids right

I love how they stuck with the 90s design

We need webrings brought back

Wow actual people

I think it would be more like reddit if there was a single super Lemmy instance, the extra layer of self hosting confuses everyone

This is an unusual question, but how have you been programming for four years and not know how OSS works?

Don’t you interact regularly with GitHub for work?

Crazy to think that reddit gold has been around for ten years
