I like the idea but we are not ready at all for something like that. It'd be crazy to blow our load too early and draw a bunch of media attention here only for people to come here and find it unusable. If redditors are struggling this much to migrate, the general public has no chance.

See where we are at in 3-6 months and reassess.

The current federation is not built to support a massive number of users all on the same page.

I am hoping for a solution that involves major servers working together to direct a stream of donations into a group project, a super server designed to meet the need during heavy load events.

It'd probably have to be heavily moderated with minimal local activity. The point would be that when major news dropped, the users of different instances would be able to come to a central forum (the superserver) to discuss with the world, and also to any local or subscribed forums to discuss with their people.

Benefitting all of the admins who no longer have to worry about their server crashing, and all the users who can either avoid the superserver or participate in the larger discussion without any impact to their local Lemmy experience.

The interview itself is the best TLDR. It's 3 minutes 24 seconds of highly concentrated cringe.

Here it is.

Please delete this duplicate response, it's very long and makes it harder to scroll the thread/see my comment. I don't mean to be rude.

You don't need to be one of the 1st or 2nd level replies over here to avoid being buried.

Oh shit, my bad. I'm almost certain it's because we are on lemmy.ml, this server has been having issues. Sometimes my comments don't show up for hours.

Your other comment still appears for me now, undeleted with 3 upvotes. But if I go to feddit.de I can see it's been deleted.

I should have just let you handle it, woops.

I wonder if you can see my other comment on this thread where I uploaded the video itself? Maybe that hasn't loaded for everyone yet, although it was posted over an hour ago

Linking is still very confusing, that's one of the main friction points we need to solve in order to really unlock our growth.

Absolutely.

The reason many of the rules exist on reddit is to simplify the management of a glut of users in a single community. When it's small like this, you can afford to be informal until it starts becoming a problem.

I would love to have the problem of a bunch of newbies coming here and flooding communities with questions about rules and stuff. After that happens for a while and starts to get annoying, then you start enforcing the rules a bit more.

You can still upvote though.

Ahem.. hint hint

History of reddit? What's reddit, grandpa?

The Karlstad-headquartered company has confirmed it spent SEK 4.2 billion — $395 million at today’s conversion rates — to acquire Middle-Earth Enterprises from the Saul Zaentz Company last August. But estimates at the time projected the rights – which include worldwide rights to films, video games, board games, merchandising, theme parks and stage productions — were worth up to $2 billion.

Interesting that it fell so short of the $2 billion valuation. Wonder why that is.

Big thanks to Ruud. I’m not even on this server but I know he’s the man.

Hey, sorry y’all had to defederate from our server.

I guess I thought I understood what that meant, but I somehow didn’t quite grasp that we can both still subscribe to third party communities like here at [email protected], and continue to interact indirectly through those channels. So the whole defederation thing matters even less than I thought it did.

Sorry to be off topic but some people at lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works might benefit from seeing this explained.

Ok I see. And the reason for that is because beehaw has defederated my server, but my server has not defederated beehaw, correct?

Kinda confusing, I guess I thought of federation as a bilateral agreement for some reason, but actually each instance unilaterally decides who to federate with, and its not always reciprocal.

To be fair, he bought the esports team in an attempt to save the league and the sport as a whole. He was well aware that it was on the verge of collapse. It’s a passion project for him, something to spend his streaming money on.

Disguised toast seems like a really good dude tbh, didn’t know about him until he got into esports but he’s really been a breath of fresh air for that scene.

Damn bro I agree with your gaming takes but what’s your problem with cars? They let us go anywhere and they zoom zoom. And they look cool. How is that a chore?

I just feel like VR is never really going to be a thing most people enjoy using. People have always used tools with their hands, the smartphone is just the most advanced version yet. Wearing something over your field of vision feels unnatural and unintuitive, and I don’t see that ever changing. I already feel kinda uncomfortable even when I just put my hoodie up. What if someone comes at me from behind 🫣

Y’all are heroes, I’m not technical in this way but I strongly appreciate the people that put in the work to make this happen. Historians will thank you for the rest of time.

Hi guys. If you’re looking for an instance, sh.itjust.works is fast and easy to join. Lemmy has a long road ahead of it but I’m here for the ride.
