    My problem is that people talk as if these are the only options.

    There are other services, like VRBO, that do the same thing and usually have the same properties. AirBNB is garbage now, so just use an alternative that doesn’t have the same bad policies and high fees.




  • I posed this question to the admins a while back. How does the community officially suggest instances to defederate. How do we vote on those choices? Where is the process?

    This was during the lemmy.online thing, where that instance (which no longer exists) created a bot to basic just crawl reddit and duplicate posts to their instance. I immediately told the instance admin that they should stop and I asked the admins where the process was to submit a de-federation request.

    All I got was a bunch of BS from users about how de-federation should be something we don’t take lightly, blah blah blah, but all I was asking was where the process is. How are we even partaking in a system that’s so ripe for admin abuse?

    The lemmy.world admins aren’t malicious… they’re just in over their heads. They’ve struggled with the technical side of running the service and they haven’t built out some of the social tools that an instance this side needs. Hopefully they mature quickly.

    Reposting is a long standing tradition on Reddit… I don’t see a reason that should change on Lemmy.

    It’s not just a question about memes. If you see content on Reddit for your favorite topic or game, you should 100% replicate that data over to Lemmy.

    If there’s a good duplication of content in both places, it makes it easier to move completely over to Lemmy.



  • I’ve been ready to leave Reddit for a long time. I’m not angry at Reddit… It’s more just continued disappointed. The site was built off of effort from the communities but the corporation won’t listen to us for guidance and changes.

    The only thing I worry about is that most people won’t even hear of alternatives like Lemmy and that will impact adoption. I fear that only the degenerates and extremests will be the ones to make the changes. I hope that isn’t how it plays out.
