This.

First

I don’t know, size made it pretty bad. Subreddits with hundreds of thousands or more users create environments where no one is trying to have a discussion. People are just vying for attention. That creates an environment where comments are either all jokes, or all snark. It’s really, really hard to have anything that resembles a human experience in a place like that. People stop recognizing each other as people, and just treat everyone as an audience.

That makes for a pretty bad experience.

One can take this lightly (I usually do), but in reality these people are a danger to the entire fediverse.

@serge One point I'll respond to:

Some of these businesses may be materially supporting the IDF, and the Israeli military is committing genocide in Palestine.

Anthony specifically mentions Michael Solomonov, who donated all of his restaurant group's profit for one day, "over $100,000, to United Hatzalah, an Israeli medical non-profit that has supplied the Israel Defense Forces with protective and medical gear during the current war against Hamas." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/08/michael-solomonov-philadelphia-restaurant-israel-antisemitic-protest

That's not made up.

@Miredly that's doubly cool! I'd say those are both option 1, but because it's a very broad range.

@milan Dabei galten Volvos früher als ziemlich zuverlässig. Also die "alten" Volvos...

and i've added refraction, so the underwater geometry warps and distorts because of the waves :D

wood fence artfully placed in the foreground to show this *doesn't* do that awful thing where the warping picks up on pixels that aren't even underwater

Imho, “submitting content” is the language of commercial sites. Like we are working for free for a business. But people post their ideas, hang out with friends, and share their art and code freely because they want to connect with other people. Some people have the means and knowledge to maintain a server allowing that to a limited number of people. It costs money, sure, and time, but this is also a thing people do for fun, sometimes with the help of voluntary donations.

I was graced by our Mother of Mercy Nicole, but never did respond to her calls for my salvation.

Sadly I have not yet been blessed by her holy Son, Roan Cong, but await his divine grace

There is a German one on feddit.org every year. It’s a small community though. !wichtel_unter@feddit.org

You could always give a PO box address. But personally I woulndn’t want to receive gifts from random people from Lemmy.

@Vivaldi

This is one feature I wish other browsers, like @Waterfox and @zenbrowser had.

@publicvoit I don't think they're saying that at all. My understanding is that they point out that LLMs are a net negative technology and that ethical software projects should not use them. According to Eli, Emacs doesn't care about ethics, so a fork seems the way to go.

I don't think cancel culture or any of the other terms your threw in your post apply here. It's just a difference in the way free software is understood by each side.

Getting a ban from lemmy.ml is a badge of honour that many like to collect.

Wikipedia is proof you are wrong, it is possible to run large-scale services with no profit
