My problem is that people talk as if these are the only options.
There are other services, like VRBO, that do the same thing and usually have the same properties. AirBNB is garbage now, so just use an alternative that doesn’t have the same bad policies and high fees.
I have supported Discord with a nitro subscription for as long as I’ve had an account. It’s a terrific program and there’s no reason to expect premium features for nothing in return. The mentality that everything should be free is why we have so many fucking ad driven online business models and I’m over it. I pay for what I use if it’s a good service.
The difference between .17 and .18 is pretty substantial. Lemmy.world neglected to update to .18 because captcha support was not working for new account signups, so they waited for v0.18.1

There should be substantial performance improvements because it moves Lemmy from using websocket to HTTP API.
There are lots of other fixes and things, but that is the most substantial change.
Not at the moment.
There’s an issue for it on GitHub, but it’s unlikely to be implemented: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397
Ha yes.
I may or may not have kids, but this video will stick in my mind forever. If I do, my focus will be on creating that community to surround my kids with people that they can look up to for good role models and hope for the best :D
Isn’t a lot of Beehaws complaints the lack of moderation on other instances, not specifically their own?
If they’re struggling with managing their own content, they certainly shouldn’t have to worry about content from other instances. Any instance that hasn’t managed to sort out their own moderation should be defederated until they figure it out.
Every individual community inside each instance should have its own set of moderators or it should not exist.
It depends on the tech. I’m not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There’s already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.
I also don’t think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.
I hope these issues are resolved, and I’ll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I’ll do the same with reddit. I’m not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.
Reposting is a long standing tradition on Reddit… I don’t see a reason that should change on Lemmy.
It’s not just a question about memes. If you see content on Reddit for your favorite topic or game, you should 100% replicate that data over to Lemmy.
If there’s a good duplication of content in both places, it makes it easier to move completely over to Lemmy.
There was a video about this posted a bit ago. The speaker said basicly this same thing. After the age of 7, the environment that your kid is placed into, and the other people they are around, has for more influence on them that the parents have.
You do your best for the first 7 years, and then you do your best to find the right environment for them for the rest of their lives.
Honestly, I’m just happy we don’t have all the other rarities that come with most RPGs.
Greys, Whites, Greens, Blues, Purples, etc, etc, etc. At least Diablo is simplified to where you just are looking for Rare or Legendary.
I’ve been ready to leave Reddit for a long time. I’m not angry at Reddit… It’s more just continued disappointed. The site was built off of effort from the communities but the corporation won’t listen to us for guidance and changes.
The only thing I worry about is that most people won’t even hear of alternatives like Lemmy and that will impact adoption. I fear that only the degenerates and extremests will be the ones to make the changes. I hope that isn’t how it plays out.
They only reason I started using hotels again is because my fiance gets good deals and they usually upgrade us because she works in the industry 🙂
