I wish it would combine comments for crossposts. It doesn’t have to break per-server instance bans or anything like that. Just combine the comments for servers that are friendly with each other.

WTF is this whole thread?
Stop telling me what to do! You’re not my mom.
Wired used to have actual journalists. How far they have fallen…
I made two posts critical of reddit and they each seemed to have been astroturfed by toxic reddit shills.
Here or at Reddit? I have never ever ever seen proof that Lemmy is pro-Reddit at anything. Like, most of the people here migrated from Reddit on bad terms with them.
It’s either that or, gasp, actually paying moderators.
I’d rather just automate the solution. It’s still going to run into some amount of human tweaking and biases, but at least it won’t require the massive amount of manpower that moderation requires right now. Something that requires so much manpower that no corporation is willing to actually pay the workforce.
It turns out that trying to push one server to be the by far the most popular Lemmy server, maybe, just maybe, might be antithetical to the concept of a Fediverse.
Welcome to The Consequences of Their Actions!
I think C# is probably more popular than it advertises here, but not on GitHub.
Yeah, Rust is cool, but every CS grad and their mother knows Java.
Sure, twenty-five years ago, when Sun was pushing their language hard into colleges everywhere.
Now? Sun Microsystems doesn’t even exist, and everybody hates the JVM in an ecosystem where VMWare, Docker, and Kubernetes do the whole “virtual machine” model much better.
an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one
Going from a modern well-designed language to an old-and-busted, kitschy, memory-hogging, bloated language. This is literally a step backwards.
Rust, Go… hell, even Ruby-on-Rails or whatever Python is offering nowadays would be a better choice.
No, that’s the thing where somebody Googles the result and gets the right answer.
Does it count as “leaving Reddit” if the Lemmy equiv only has two posts in the last month, and one of them is about “Vulcan Sex Workers”?
I’m going to invoke Poe’s Law and not assume this is sarcasm.

Article? This is just a removedty blog post.
I think that was sarcasm.
People often don’t care to understand how much work it is to run a Lemmy instance. And the cost. I have my own website and the knowledge/money to start an instance, but I’m certainly not going to actually do that and monopolize the rest of my free time.
A terrible idea by the LGBT community to expand the definition, when they thought they already “won” the battle and wanted to expand their scope, completely ignoring how marginalized the trans community was at that point, and how much was still left to fight for LGB rights. People quickly objected and most threw away the dumb acronym.
If only people in your home network are allowed to register
Well, that’s one critical detail you didn’t specify. But, that still doesn’t account for the need for software updates, and hacking attempts. Also, why would anybody subscribe a community on a Lemmy instance with almost nobody on it?
In my opinion, every router on the world should have instances running (and tunneled to not dox themselves) so people are not dependent on big instances.
That would be a security and moderation nightmare. Moderating an instance is a tough job, and not everybody wants to take on that job.
Right. This is just trading one set of security pitfalls with a second, much worse set of security pitfalls.
