Well it at least is an obstacle. Broke hackers won’t get it or will have to work harder to get around it.

I get where they’re coming from. Moderating a huge online presence where people can make posts about things is difficult and costly. But… It’s their platform and they’re in charge of it. So… It kinda sounds like they have to.

Fair, but for lemmy to truly take off, people need to be actively posting and commenting. If people don’t have interest in that, lurkers won’t come.

I’ve been thinking this. I get that reddit is a huge platform, but that’s exactly why we should let them figure out their own mess. It’s not our problem.

I wonder if internally, they’re panicking.

Same for myspace. When was the last time that was relevant?
