And yet they are still struggling to sell the 8.8 million they make a year.

But we have no tools to migrate users or communities. We can not vote with our feet so much as start over and over and over.

The advertisement and push they did on sites like reddit and their listing on join-lemmy.org (when they where still listed) made them the biggest instance. And with the name Lemmy.world they did nothing to dissuade anyone from thinking that. If this was all randos pushing the instance then boo to them, but I also saw nothing from .world not claiming to be the bigger instance(super lemmy)

I don't think it is so difficult but I also think that would lessen the depth and breadth of lemmy as a whole by limiting full participation behind self hosting.

Just wondering and looking at the mod log for one admin and maybe I am crazy but are they unbanning and rebaning users? (Keep in mind it goes new on top):

• admin Banned @snake from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: troll
• admin Unbanned @snake
• admin Banned @soviettaters from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: Troll
• admin Unbanned @soviettaters
• admin Unbanned @ilfi
• admin Removed Comment Spineless pieces of shit. by @sused reason: toxic
• admin Banned @sused reason: Bye
• admin Banned@ilfi reason: Inactive account comes back to troll. Bye

I think the issue is that .world has put itself forward as some sort of super lemmy. The landing page for new users. I agree people should move but also that we do kinda need a superish lemmy, but one that maybe has all the good and bad. Would it make any sense to have an instance that has no communities of its own but also has all the instances?

make a new account on another instance? You could I am sure get fancy but eh, its not a bad process.

Yeahhhh, please leave reddit (they still run ads there for this instance) for lemmy.

I guess they wanted people to feel at home?

I think a this is a bigger issue then just .worlds stance on piracy. Lemmy.world has put it self forward as the "front page of lemmy" but has now also removed one of the largest community using lemmy. And did so with no input on a discord server (not on any instance). This front page status was already shakey with all the down time and clunk. This seems like maybe not the best side to show new users.

They are last time I checked "prohibitively expensive" but people are dumb enough to pay $100k over 8 year financing. These things are also no better for "industrial/ag" then a truck from 30 years ago that was 4 feet less tall, had an 8 foot bed and a similar towing capacity at a fraction of the price.

These things are the crystallization of our hubris.

Driver faces hit-run homicide

The first part of the headline does a fair job of pointing out the murder.
