  • To be perfectly honest, Lemmy has had staggering growth regardless of the lack of media attention. And I’m not entirely certain that’s a bad thing.

    Look at my home instance of lemmy.world, for example. When I joined pre-blackout, we had around 800 members. Now, two server upgrades later, we’re at nearly 18,000. If only a fraction of those newcomers stay, it’s still enough to jumpstart organic growth, even if it’s slow. And it gives us time to really develop.

    Maybe that’s a glass-half-full outlook, but I’m optimistic.


  • I’m one of those people. I hate Edge. Like, with a disproportionate amount of vitriol.

    But it actually doesn’t have anything to do with its functionality (though I’m not thrilled with the privacy concern OP linked), but rather the fact that I get bombarded with “IT’S BETTER IN EDGE! MAKE EDGE YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!.” It’s the most asinine, annoying bullshit.

    In all fairness, I did finally figure out how to make it stop. It’s just ridiculous that I have to go through all of that every time I’m on a new PC. Let me browse the way I want to, damnit.
