Don't tell me what not to tell you!

I see Lemmy and the fediverse more as an evolution of how we approach the web. We should absolutely cater to more casual users eventually, and try to have as many people as possible to leave behind these greedy internet monopolies. We clearly saw that they're not the way to go.

How we get there is a bit of a question mark, it's clear that there's a big push from more involved/aware users to break away from big corporations. This doesn't mean we're building on outrage, just that it was the initial push to get something new started.

If the attention this post is getting isn't a strong indicator of what our communities want, and the direction that the fediverse and all instance admins should follow, then nothing will be.

Especially now, because of the extra obstacles of joinin the fediverse, users are on average more aware of the implications of such a thing. We should listen our people.

Absolutely, and it's been very refreshing to see discussion get broader and be filled with memes and other interesting content.

It will take a while to get somewhere close to Reddit, but if we talk about how it feels, I see it getting closer and closer day by day.

Thanks for the heads up, fuck this bloat/spyware shit.

You can absolutely feel how much bigger it got, and it feels more and more populated every day.

I've been here only one week and the change has been so obvious.

Exactly, we're not defined by our relationship with Reddit.

This hurt to read, good job.

I have to say I also watch videos in background while doing other stuff, but that doesn't make it a better medium to convey information, just more practical when the information is not important enough to be the main focus of someone's attention, and that's pretty subjective.

But I do get the point, I just wish it was different.

Missed chance to call it Broccolatte.

That frog's about to do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
