The great thing about Lemmy is the users are in full control to make it whatever we want it to be. We aren’t dependent on some profit seeking corporate board of douche bags to make arbitrary decisions in the name of the almighty dollar (or whatever your currency)
All of these providers need to cease operating in the UK - it makes no sense to compromise security for the rest of the world just because one country wants to make it easier to spy on citizens.
How about a partner and a local - Belts and Suspenders, and you only get one two-week shot at this.
That was my first thought - Is he still alive? He must be 110 by now.
Yes, I am not sure who this is targeted to exactly - there are so many better ways to consume podcasts and the other content they mention, for less money, or free in many cases. I had purchased Pocket Casts years ago before they went free, then sold out to PBS, was still free, and now this - seems like just dying to piece together a business model that’s is doomed to fail (again).
No thank you. I’m perfectly happy with Podcast Addict.
FYI - the Lemmy devs fixed a serious bug this week that was affecting database performance and wefwef has been working MUCH better the past couple of days. I am trying other clients but keep coming back to wefwef because it provides basically the same experience on my Android phone and on my iPad.
I’m sorry, but any mod that gets a message threatening them like that and stays on has zero self respect. It’s a volunteer job for god’s sake!
Yes, it is https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld (according to the link on lemmy.world main page)
I’m definitely not disagreeing with you, but Lemmy has grown so large since the original “tankies” started Lemmy.ml that I don’t think it is really an issue for the larger community. I’ve only been here for a month or so but I have not seen many (if any) communistic related posts on the feeds, and if they are trying to spread their leftist messages they are not doing a very good job of it.
I have found Lemmy.world to be the most active platform, so I wanted to help out with server costs, thus the $2 per month. I have also donated to Ernest at Kbin and the Beehaw folks as well. I’m not going back to Reddit, so I want these communities to thrive and feel I need to pitch in the cost of a Latte every month to help out. Having said that, if I ever get the feeling that I am donating to some authoritarian cause I will stop donating immediately.
Just throw $2 a month toward Lemmy on Patreon! Well worth it.
I’m eagerly awaiting Sync but wefwef is pretty damned good in my opinion.
Yes, late 50’s US and I drive a 6 speed Jeep daily. Taught my 23 year old son to drive a stick and he just bought a Tacoma stick shift.
I learned on my grandfather’s 3 on the tree 1968 Dodge camper van. If you can drive a 3 on the tree, you can drive anything.
