But the app developers are not developing the apps as moderation tools, they are operating them as income projects by providing features users want. The mod users of their apps are a tiny subset, and they are underwritten by all the regular

The operational cost of growing marijuana, even indoors with pretty high-powered lights, is actually extremely low. You can make it expensive buying fancy nutrients and gimmicky hydro systems but when I was growing for the black market befo

It's endlessly fascinating to me - I basically assume that everyone here knows how to do computer stuff, at least at the enthusiast/power user level. Nobody at that level should have an issue with a system that requires a bit of

There is no reality where a desktop GPU is not a luxury item. If a society wants to sell a lot of luxury items, it needs to be prosperous. Prosperity means lots of people have buying power. Right now we have the opposite of that and a lot

You could have skipped reading entirely; it's conspiracy clickbait. To the puzzle-solving mind, an anomalous clue is the unicorn you spend your whole life chasing. There is a well-known conspiracy community around covid. It follows tha

I have to ask, though: if 99% of users do stay on mastodon.social (I'm still there, for instance) or whatever ends up being the main Lemmy instance, is that actually a problem in some way, which is not a much bigger problem on Reddit

I dunno, the experiment is in motion. The hope is always that people will open their minds and learn the concepts. But I feel just as lost watching a sports event as a lot of folks apparently feel picking an instance, so I get it. Edit: the

You're right, I was railing against in-slang, if we're interrogating my actual statement. I understand why people use it on platforms like twitter; everywhere else it's like saying "ell oh ell" to me after I tell a

The difference there is, they're wrong about it being a centralizing move, because the user retains the right to move on at any time now or in the future. It's just a matter of continuing the conversation until it sinks in, I had

I have done all three, I'm currently 100% remote, and I am clamoring to get back into a situation where I can spend a couple days a week in the office. "best" and "worst" varies wildly case by case.

Well, my downvotes are well deserved, asking such a question here.

Whole point of federation is to eliminate the need for centralized platforms, which will never not self-destruct like Reddit is currently doing. If you realize that one casino is ruining your life and go looking for a different casino, you&

This guy's solution is basically a copypaste of a description of Lemmy, but change the word "instance" to "company". I wonder if he's even watched a What Is The Fediverse video.

Technically, they're flexing on the unpaid labour they've based their business plans on, which is an order of magnitude or two stupider. Also, is it capitalism you love, or is it free markets and independent business? Cause capita

Yes, the people who read the news stories are definitely going to feel a lot of sympathy for the Reddit shareholders who have been denied their rightful ad revenue. They are definitely (mmph) the victims (snort) in all of this. Won't s

The selling point of Reddit, though, is not that r/popular is the greatest list of links ever created. The selling point is that you can tailor your links perfectly to your tastes, right? Good luck to them.
