  • I don’t think spamming Reddit with Lemmy links will do much besides paint a picture of Lemmy users as obnoxious. I’d rather have Lemmy differentiate itself as more than just a Reddit alternative by offering something different and have the users come on their own. It’s not about quantity for me, but quality. For example, I’d love to see some communities that focus on long-form discussions and heavy moderation to promote a more nuanced debate. I’d also love to see some media outlets host and moderate their own Lemmy instances to try and move the debate away from Facebook and the likes.






  • I actually don’t have a problem paying for online services. I host my own email, I pay for Kagi search and I do monthly donations to Mozilla and Wikipedia. What I have an issue with is services that start out as advertisement based and then introduce paid plans, because now you still have all these shitty mechanics just for driving up engagement which results in unhealthy incentives for content creators and rabbit holes. I want a service that is for YouTube what Kagi is to Google Search. But perhaps that model is too difficult to monetize, I don’t know.
