- Comment on is there a search engine for the fediverse? 6 months ago:
I agree. I also notice a constant push to ban anything that is deemed offensive, which in most cases is just a statement of opinion that someone did not like.
- Comment on Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off 9 months ago:
If RCS is such an awesome standard, why not mandate it for all EU phones? Apple already supports the current standard, which is SMS. The idea that they have to open up their proprietary software seems silly to me.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
Yup. The effect for me has been that I simply go out much less often.
- Comment on We have a new lemm.ee status page, including federation status, at status.lemm.ee! 10 months ago:
It’s great to see your financials. I see you are ahead but I am going to get my monthly donation going again.
- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 11 months ago:
Yeah, let’s defederate from a major player that wants to participate in the decentralized nature of this protocol. That way we further fragment Mastodon and guarantee its failure in the long run! Good call!!!
- Comment on subredditstats.com now promotes Lemmy and the Fediverse 1 year ago:
My problem with mastodon is the same one I have with Twitter. It’s very easy to get up and running. You can get a feed filled with nonsense to read but if you’re actually interested in any topic, it’s really hard to get a feed that matches your interest. 
- Comment on subredditstats.com now promotes Lemmy and the Fediverse 1 year ago:
I think most of the stats are deceiving. In my opinion, most of the actual activity or users read, and comment happens on Lemmy, as opposed to mastodon where you mostly just have observers. 
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
Well as always users that did nothing wrong are the ones that suffer. I think banning images is overkill. Let the forum police themselves. It’s the way this is supposed to work. Just banning images site wide is pretty draconian and defeats the purpose of the fediverse. Blocking any images that could contain any level of nudity is also overkill. I’ll probably move to a self hosted server eventually.
- Comment on Paid Servers? 1 year ago:
Yeah, I may go with this option, but I really like the idea of helping create an economy. I suspect one of the Achilles heels of the Fediverse will be instances disappearing after users based their identity on a free server that the host eventually lost interest. Time will tell. I may be wrong. But also may be right.
- Comment on Paid Servers? 1 year ago:
I prefer paying for a service rather than donating. When you pay for something, there is an expectation of a service in return. I think the fediverse could benefit from creating an economy for this sort of thing.
- Comment on Paid Servers? 1 year ago:
I already do.
- Comment on Paid Servers? 1 year ago:
I understand, and for the most part, I agree, but I would still like to find a paid instance.

- Comment on How do I report a user? 1 year ago:
It’s much harder to silence people in the Fediverse. I consider that a good thing but it definitely comes at a cost. You will always be able to block users at the individual level. If the problem is bad enough I would guess their home instance can kick them off.
- Comment on I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit. 1 year ago:
It’s the same crowd and over time they will be identical. The power of moderation is the only thing that keeps nastiness in check.
