Problem is that Lemmy UI works really nice. I never liked the oldschool forum design. Old Reddit UI did some dumb shit but threaded comments are a must have these days.
my experience so far;
basedcount seems like a viable option but I asked them to defederate the loli federations etc and its not done (yet). Not sure if they didnt find time or if its bugged but important for me that the admin stays on top of their server for when the ddos kiddies come by.
If we wont manage to find a server im willing to host a small, completely defederated server without image uploads. Should be doable to keep costs under a couple dollars a month. I know donkey has hosting knowledge.
We can use image uploaders like Ye Olden Reddit and freeload on the app developers making apps for lemmy.
Everyone also knows you cant just remove the sign of the pizzahut and call it an office. It will be a pizzahut without a sign.
Im waiting for basedcount lemmy admin to block the same federations in the EH blocklist and then Ill move over. I like Kapow and more power to his decisions but he isnt my wife so Im not following him around.
Actually kinda glad he killed the federation now and gave a heads up instead of killing it a year down the road.
Any chance you can defederate from the instances hosting iffy material? I would like to host an account there (I like the rules) but some stuff is just plain illegal to have or see in my country and I dont want it on my pc tbh.
exploding heads has them deferated so its easy to copy them over.
Yes. I prefer the Lemmy/Reddit layout.
I actually dont see any critical flaws with Lemmy.
By defederating from the illegal servers and with some team effort its easy to cut down on spam.
While I agree with Kapow on the sentiment that taking the server down highlights the problem with a centralized server it kinda sucks that once the federation got traction it gets shut down lol.
Cant undelete the time spend growing the server and taking the time to upload memes, articles etc.
Edit: And as european citizen im indirectly funding the Lemmy devs with my tax dollars so I like to use what im paying for 😎
This… I dont want to lose what we have right now and I dont care about others defederating us 😅
Moderation is 🗝️. A man cant survive without a simple vice. Or thats just me coping.
No you didnt work hard, no you didnt study for years, its whitey privilege.
Also dont mind the white powder on the scale its flour I promise you.
do I need to login first or something?
I thought this one was funnier tbh
Also whoever posted there should stop serious posting and trying to burn yourself on each of these threads it never works out.
Lemmygrad users always come in with the same copypasta.

In France we’ve got laws to regulate this type of speech. Say that AIDS is god’s punishment to the homosexuals -> get a fine (or if it’s the twentieth time you do it, go to jail).
Being so cucked you imagine this is a good thing 😎
Yes sir arrest him he called the gays faggots.
Every muslim to jail NOAW.
It is what it is toobz
IT + ecommerce. I speedrun my early investment money by paying someone on outwork to build a bot for craiglist scanning for keywords and selling the tool to resellers.
Literally called each reseller and told them about my product. Took me a couple dozen tries before I had the sweet spot. Sold a sub for 10 a month at the start, once I found second hand car dealers I upped the amount to 200 a month. First month was free no commitment. Product was simple. It literally send a whatsapp message to the reseller whenever a keyword with the price range dropped on craigslist. Did that for two years, dropped support in favor to use it internally as I had enough money to start a branded product and I had a rough idea of what was selling like hotcakes.
Opportunities are plenty but most people refuse to learn or outsource good ideas that actually can be an improvement.
Nowadays I sell my own branded projects. Made bank when influencers sold their audience for a nickel and a dime. I spend most my time getting baked and browsing the internet these days as I outsourced everything related to outreach.
The products are so simple any alibaba manufacturing place can make them and restock me within a couple weeks.
I dont listen to any andrew tate bla bla or watch podcasts or the likes. My old man is an engineer who helps me design metal products (for cars for example) and my accountant helps me on anything financial. Accountants are dirtcheap btw, and a true cheatcode. I paid 1200 this year and got 1000 back in tax returns. 200 to outsource all my financials, discuss ideas and free coffee 😎
I figured giving my personal story gives a rough idea of what you should achieve and what road to take.
They must love AI, they can finally pass online. Photoshop in cope mode now 90% of their customers left.
ofc PR disasters
Freshest memory was that troon that got mad at bethesda for not hosting her coming out party and the manager basically crying that the troon should finish some work after three months of sicks days and planning the coming out party.
And then the troon decides that the best way to navigate this problem is uploading 2 hours of footage of them complaining and posting company internal chats.
Fucking loved reading that one. Its always funny when troons fight with companies that went woke.
Basedcount admin didnt fix the federations so im willing to hop over if you can support the instance for at least a while without wacking it within a month of growing popularity lol.
