Fetch data from instances you're trying to access, rather than hosting everything on all servers. That seems like a quick way to get half the fediverse defederated from each other.

The problem for those operating a Lemmy instance is that they are hosting copies of the content of all federated instances.
If that's genuinely the way it works, it seems really dumb.

It feels very 2010s Tumblr.

more open discussions can be had without fear of being banned.

Not sure about that. I saw a post today about lemmy.ml's admin, who's also one of the main lemmy developers, banning people who said something bad about China for "orientalism", then doubling down in it in the comments. Apparently mod logs for any instance can be accessed by any mod of any other instance. Otherwise I wouldn't have even known. Not sure how I feel about using a service developed by someone so toxic, who's also in charge of a big chunk of user accounts.

People shit on it because it's way worse than what individual devs have achieved and provide for free. It's been in development for years, and it still hasn't achieved feature parity with any of the big apps out there. I mean for fucks sake, reddit app users still need a bot to download a video?

What?

Games are so damn expensive, man. I could feed myself for a long time for the price of a 6 hour experience.

You don't have to hold, just tap

Wait, did you mean you switched from iPhone because they do that, or did OnePlus start doing it too?

Mods should have never been allowed to moderate more than like 3 subs at most.

Has OnePlus improved? I have the 7 Pro but their newer phones and customer support got terrible.

Same.
