Yeah I feel you there, it is very annoying. I’m similar to you that I don’t mind used phones with some bumps and scrapes to them but a giant glowing line and two dead patches on the screen really make the phone unusable without screen replacement and it doesn’t sound like the business made that clear to you at all. Hopefully they will give a refund without issue!
Did the seller not include a picture of the issue? Because that’s pretty shitty if so.
Imo admins have a responsibility to disable signups to their server if they feel they are unable to fund/crowdsource or lack the ability to expand capacity (lack of time or know-how).
As long as server admins stick to the above it doesn’t matter if it costs €10 or €100000 a month really.
Its impossible to say at which point is the burden too much, because every person has their own threshold and every server can have multiple admins responsible for it, or might have business backing it or whatever really.
I made a second account on lemm.ee - it’s big so has all the connections you could need and has amazing uptime.
Yeah as I discovered in another comment chain it’s more than reddit had in 2020 even which was ‘only’ 5.5 million daily - the chart unfortunately is rather confusingly labeled and useless and represents total comments and not daily. I can only assume a random bot spike happened or something.
I guess if you’re just looking for a generic reddit-like experience then .world for now seems to do the job just fine. Ultimately it has admins that can choose to de-federate from any other server and they may do that to ones you would rather they didn’t. Every server is going to be somewhat unique on that front with their own set of rules to follow (or not).
It’s really interesting because it always will become somewhat political - with servers that have a tendency for more extreme views whether right or left wing, where do you draw the line before deciding to cut them off? That has already been happening in the short time I joined with servers like Hexbear which I honestly still don’t fully understand the history and complexity of the situation.
My plan so far at least is to keep an eye on the lemmy.world announcements subreddit and if they do anything that I disagree with too much then I can move on elsewhere but I’m quite happy letting others do that level of curation for now at least without keeping too much of a close eye.
You visit that server directly and create a new account and log in with that. There is no way to ‘switch’ although I think people have created ways to migrate your subscriptions etc over to a different server.
Reddit probably thinks it won. They killed all the apps and now they will increasingly force feed monetisation down the necks of the userbase until everyone decides to leave just like they left Facebook.
Which is their goal too probably that’s how IPOs go, and how corporations handle tech companies, buy it milk it and let it die. Nobody cares about long term It’s all about profit this quarter then ditch the shares to the next sucker.
Reddit will go the same way as Facebook. Never die, but it will be like visiting a retirement village.
Can’t tell if you are being serious or pulling my leg with that but I love it haha. I mean it’s a perfect way to distinguish because over here we have no good way to call the spiders other than ‘one of those long leg small body kinda spiders’ which is a terrible name.
Yeah it’s a tricky one isn’t it. There hopefully will become a better solution for helping people onboard to different servers that suit them but without making too big of a hurdle.
I must admit I joined .world without understanding anything and it was prompted to me so yeah the default choice has a big say. I have donated to server costs though, felt like I should do my part at least!
You know I did actually question myself when I wrote that haha, but I went with it anyway.
I mean the definition could still probably apply though perhaps under the logic that the developer has nothing to do with the development of Lemmy. He is just a third party to it. The lack of a first party doesn’t change that Sync is a third party, maybe…
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.
The chart is for ‘all servers’ already supposedly rather than from the perspective of a single instance though so would that be possible? Or can an instance exist sort of privately and then become visible causing a spike?
In the UK what we call a daddy longlegs has wings and flies (a crane fly I think). Obviously a very widely used name for things with a small body and a bunch of long legs haha
Yeah will be nice when we can create posts. Its pretty easy on mobile web browser though the UI is clean enough for just that task in the meantime.
Consensus seems to be the lemmy chart is actually total cumulative comments, but I can’t really work out where millions of comments would come from in a matter of days. Maybe some weird bot spam on some random instance that is being counted when it probably shouldn’t.
Enjoy the chicken!
Good question. Best I could find is this:
https://backlinko.com/reddit-users#how-many-comments-are-published-on-reddit
Which says Reddit comments in 2020 were 2 billion (I think that’s net for the year not total all time at the end of that year at least?)
So thats ~5.5 million per day
Very safe to say Lemmy is not getting double that lol so these charts are misleading/confusing.
Are museums also an issue for holding such artifacts or do you just have a problem with individuals? Because to me ownership or an item doesn’t mean you agree with what it represents. Like it or not the Nazi party has a lot of historical significance.
Now I don’t know anything about Lemmy as a person so he may well be a POS I have no idea but if the above is your basis for it, then it’s weak.
I really like Vivaldi’s tab management on Android myself. It’s more desktop like.
I think it will be a success for them tbh. D&D and Pathfinder are both just gaining such popularity lately that they will find enough market even if the hardcore players turn their back on it. If they can onboard casual players easily, they will be willing to pay for it.
Not for me sadly.
