I do agree with you. It's a universe of federated software and matrix is federated. ActivityPub is an implementation of an idea.
I wonder if this came from engineering or the marketing department.
I'm getting "Let's do this, and if it fails (which it will), it'll look like we're really confident in our self-drive and are a challenger in the market" vibes.
Even if you have excellent self-drive, there is no logical reason not to have a backup steering wheel just to intervene in case. Tbh, I had no idea they were even in the self-drive market which may be their true problem. No one really knows.
I said you're wonderful stranger. Keep being you (unless you are a dickhead. But I'm sure you're not)
Take that data with a pinch of salt. Their comments per day surpasses total Lemmy comments for all time it seems: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
It's still great growth, and a first solid phase of the migration! :)
Checkmate!
Another thought I had was some of the Active posts here get around 1.5k to 2k upvotes. Often on reddit, that is around 20-30k. So Lemmy could be around a 10th of that size.
Potentially in terms of activity, there is the passive consumption side of reddit (which is massive), and the active contributor side. Even if Lemmy is doing well in terms of the active contributor side, that is very useful to draw in the passive consumers. Potentially many want something known and trusted and maybe are less tech savvy. They may follow good content.
Here here! For all it's weaknesses, I'm learning to love Lemmy and it's strengths.
Definitely the hardest to compete against, but if people come here, they will become aware of alternatives like Odysee and peer tube.
Open source alternatives are a threat. They cannot control information there. I bet all of them are blacklisted.
I think the high weekend load and mass migration is load testing it to new heights.
Yeah. Taking a while to reply. It is 14:30 in UK so load can be pretty testy on a weekend. Especially with many refugees. Probably a good load test, but uncomfortable for users.
Manjaro. I've never known a distro break as much as this.
I generally don't like to judge distro's, because they've all got pros and cons. With Manjaro, the pros column is pretty empty :).
