Losing access to personalized YT would suck, but losing decades of emails would suck even more (when I initially got GMail, I imported all my old emails in … I guess I should probably look at making a backup periodically, like I used to). I share your sentiment that I fear what these companies are going to do next in the pursuit of more money they can burn and/or give to shareholders as they continue to tank their reputations.

I, personally, don’t see that happening, but I can easily imagine them making it a TOS violation to use adblock and then killing your account if you continue to do so :-/

Same with Google’s ads in general. For a long time they were whitelisted by default on just about every adblock list out there because they were so unobtrusive it didn’t make sense to bother blocking them, especially when you compared them to the other ads that were common at the time. They were also generally relevant ads, so people actually did click on them and use them since it actually related to the thing they were searching for.

They’re obviously more profitable now, but you have to wonder by how much and if they’d be a more trusted company today (and what’s that worth monetarily) if they hadn’t gone down this race to the bottom.

Same, but for the red ones for me.

Yeah, but, I don’t see how that really changes anything.

On a smaller instance (or one that’s defederated from others … in either direction), that might very well completely shift focuses.

For the Fediverse specific community, if you want one with the most chance of getting to the developers, use the instance that they’re on, otherwise, I’d think to just let the cultures develop and diverge naturally as they’re likely to.

To be fair, to some of us this is a feature not a bug.

A technology post on a technology/infosec/IT focused instance seems to have a COMPLETELY different focus and conversation than one on the larger instances, for example and I don’t want those mixed in with people saying that AI is a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world.

There are smaller dedicated art focused instances popping up too. I’d expect that they’re going to have a better set of conversations around those subjects than the same threads on a general instance and I don’t want those mixed up.

If it’s a subject I really want to see a lot of discussion about, I’ll look at multiple threads… can this mean that some subjects won’t have as good of a conversation because people aren’t bouncing off of each other? Yeah, absolutely and that frankly SUCKS, but, as stated, it also means that some of the niche conversations have a chance to grow where they may have previously just been unseen due to how many people are talking.

To me, they’re on different instances for a reason, let it grow organically. The ones that stand out will wind up being the main ones people use.

As for amount of users. A decent amount of those are likely alts people created when instances were having problems or just to try out the different locations.
Or, people just didn’t like the Fediverse for all the reasons you stated, which is also possible, but I don’t necessarily think chasing numbers should be the end all goal

Love Bookstack!

The dev has also got a PeerTube instance spun up:

Just because your dogs brain was transferred into a robot body that doesn’t need exercise doesn’t mean that the dog doesn’t still want to go for a walk!

Comcast unlimited data is an extra 50 for my area.

Evil bastards. I make sure to get my money’s worth though

Will also show the favorites and reduces for an ind post as well.

It’s fine when it’s constructive, but when it comes down to “fuck socialists”, “fuck their opinions”, “fuck anything socialists make” and “Lemmy World is glitchy” I’m honestly not sure wtf they expect anyone to do with that information.

Nah, I at least would prefer if they didn’t lol.

If OP dislikes “community” they’re definitely going to bitch about magazines and start whining to try and get KBin to be more similar to Reddit. I think we’re better off with them going back to R.

If Meta does end up Federating, then Reddit would potentially be able to gain 100M (or whatever the latest crazy numbers are) potential viewers of ads disguised as content. That’s a lot of eyeballs to try and make money off of!

For the Lemmy/KBin side, being able to potentially monetize the people that specifically left your shitty platform has to look somewhat appealing.

Figured I could save anyone else the time clicking if they aren’t interested. Seems interesting overall
