I have a couple of thoughts.

1. I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream ‘culture’ I can stand, and frequntly more.

2. I think it’s a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y’know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It’s not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It’s more answering the question, ‘What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?’

I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.

I try to keep an eye out for repetitive tasks that might make good projects. I just started a python script that’s going to download all my google photos so i can free up my cloud storage.

I think communities run by people who wish to mod them arbitrarily should be allowed to exist.

What do you use for hosting? I’m looking for a good host and highly budget conscious.

What makes hosting with PHP cheaper than with python?

Same, i thought it was about having a manic episode or something

I wouldnt be surprised if this was suicide by cop. But its still indicative of a structural problem that such a thing is possible.

Excuse me i think you mean ctrl+c:w

I recently switched from jerboa to Voyager, how do you do it?

I think about this a lot. I’m so grateful I had the experience of messing with the windows registry and other phenomena of the 90s.
