Memmy is good

I’m out of there for good, but I take a look every once in awhile. That place still looks like it’s thriving. It’s unfortunate.

Poverty doesn’t affect everyone the same. To try to discount the fact that poverty increases crime just because you aren’t a criminal is ignoring the complexity of humanity.

To say that this particular crime was caused by poverty also ignores the complexity of humanity.

We can all speculate until we’re blue in the face, but I agree that lessening poverty will lessen crime of most types.

I don’t know a lot about vserver or borg, but where do your volumes live? On the same machine? Different hard drive?

Fragmentation is, in my opinion, kind of the point.

I think we lose sight of the fact that the Fediverse is new, and conveniences and comforts get added by developers after users have a go at it.

Lemmy is very usable right now in its current form, even if fragmentation makes it a little inconvenient here and there. The fact is, for popular communities, there will likely be one big community with kind of satellite communities that are run slightly different or allow more memes, etc.

Once developers find ways to improve cross-posting and multi-instance feed integration, I think fragmentation will mostly be a background, unnoticed, thing.

I think it keeps mods more honest, because they know anyone can jump ship much easier to another established community - even if it’s smaller.

I’m not saying there aren’t downsides, but I do believe the upsides outweigh it, and it will only get better over time.

I’m one of those c/nfl mods and 12+ redditors that has moved on. I know Reddit probably has some life in it still, but the quality of the communities is going to go down. Decentralization serves users best.

Music brains is probably the best we have. I wonder if you can export playlist as a text files and use something like tunemusic.com to move it to Spotify and such
