Actually, you are hurting the employer by hurting the server. Just not nearly as much.

There definitely is/was an adblocker that clicks on ads but doesn’t show them. Don’t make me look it up, I don’t care enough ;)

I’ve been mainly posting to https://lemmy.world/c/dota2 btw :)

Ah yes of course, a few people living off donations are supposed to outperform a multi billion dollar corporation in amount of features and polish within features.

The protocol doesn’t matter. Look at lemmy vs kbin. Kbin has “extended” features like microblogs & different UI. There’s plenty of people that like those features and thus are using kbin over Lemmy.

Just imagine kbin were much more attractive than Lemmy. More people would start signing up there. More people start “microblogging”. Maybe there’ll be other features introduced, and Lemmy can’t keep up with the nice things being added.

One day kbin decides not to federate with Lemmy at all anymore. Most people are on kbin at this point, Lemmy doesn’t have the same quality/amount of features. Now the average user has a choice: do they care about kbin being asses and leave kbin? No, of course not, not if the features really are nicer.

Now replace kbin with Facebook. Or Google, that’s exactly what they did with XMPP.

The only thing that is able to save from the triple E attack is the users actually caring enough about open platforms and deciding to not use the non-open ones. Or actually having more resources than Facebook, good luck with that.

I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there’s lots of discussions happening in the comments.

I wish 😭 I’m so alone

Also depends on if the backup is properly encrypted. If it is, security of whatever storage you use is pretty irrelevant.

Everyone knows the real plural is ATM machines.

If you’re from the US, I think the alternative options are to 1. die, 2. pay smaller things out of pocket, go bankrupt on larger ones 3. try to get citizenship in a better country

That’s reddit from 8+ years ago you’re talking about, and small communities. Reddit has long been a mainstream community now, and we all know how the average person is.

I mean the user base is less than 1% of reddits. So of course you’re going to have less posts. You’re relying on people for browsing, you either can chose to be content with how much people are posting, or get to posting yourself.

As someone who used /r/all before, what you say is exactly the same as I’m used to. Maybe sort by “Hot” though. Reddits algorithm is somewhere between “Hot” and “Active” here. Active is too slow, hot is too fast.
