I'm trying but the save button just loops endlessly..
What difference does it make? Aren't you able to see the comment?

It has of course nothing to do with the enormous amount of money they rake through their app store by squeezing both the developers and the users.
Why would they try to force people to only use the store by implementing more and more security features along the way!?
It's a mystery!

I agree with your points and like the idea of more specialized instances and also country related instances. I think it's solvable if the different admins work together.
Lemmy.world doesn't have to go private, they could just not accept more users and communities for a while. It wouldn't change much since everyone will still be able to post and comment on Lemmy.world from all instances. New users would just have to choose a different instance that's all.
For me that's the whole point, I don't see any benefit of a big instance, the Lemmyverse doesn't need one.
Understandable, but aren't growth and instability related in this case? There are many instances with capacity that are already run by capable people. Just spread the load (ahem) across the Lemmy verse and only handle as much as you can. But maybe I'm missing a point, I just think that this would be the best for Lemmy in the long run.
How about another approach?
There is no good reason for Lemmyworld to keep on growing to an extent that this kind of overhead is necessary. The idea of Lemmy is decentralization and not creating a new reddit instance. Close your registration, limit your amount of communities and let Lemmy grow in other directions.
Created my account in Oct. 2011 after a long time of just lurking. Leaving reddit feels weird, sad but also right, like a breakup that was long overdue.
Well, I guess all the life forms that are going extinct through the Holocene/anthropogene extinction event, which humans caused, don't matter?
Sure there will be life on earth and it will adapt, but don't act like we're not taking down whole families of plants and animals with us.. because it's already happening.

My opinion:
-
Framework has a good track record and I would give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. (Concerning upgradeability)
-
laptops are getting more and more powerful and I like the idea of treating them similar to a desktop
-
as a ThinkPad user you probably know how popular especially old ThinkPads are, because of the ability to mod them
-
you might buy a new laptop every few years but the point above proves that there will be people interested in a second hand laptop, therefore reducing waste
-
there will always be a market for good quality and customer friendly products and the existence of framework is great for competition (for the end user)
-
they support the open source mentality, even tried to help to bring coreboot to their laptops. Even though that failed they're keeping an eye on openSIL
-
overall I'm more of Linux instead of Windows, FOSS instead of corporate closed software, Lemmy instead of reddit and framework/system76/.. instead of Lenovo/.. kind of person. I see it partly as a fight for "freedom" if you so will.
Maybe it's more about already being able to see the results of climate change.
Rivers drying out, ice sheets and glaciers melting, oceans heating up, desertification, water shortages, etc.
And with everything it seems like we're "nearly" at a breaking point. Cities running completely out of water, crops failing because of the heat or forests dying or burning, etc.
At least it feels like we're not that far away from a really bad time than anticipated.
Interesting! I tried it a bit more:
Seems like it's a problem with this comment in particular, but I can't figure out why!
Edit: I found another comment set to "Deutsch", written in german, that can't be changed no matter what.
