#42Well, considering I am getting this on clicking the link: 404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site ? reason: Unexpected token 'T', "Timeout oc"... is not valid JSON This site is clearly not prepared to handle any kind of migration from reddit.
you can read it using another instances, beauty of fediverse.

#43This has been fun to watch. Reddits been working to deteriorate its quality for a long time. The major disappointment is that they aren't a publicly traded company so there is no way to make money on their downfall.
I mean, everyone had similar views about twitter and it's still kicking around just fine.
If Elon had kept the company public, any one with two neurons able to fire would have been shorting it and would have cleaned up. With his leadership and decision making, Twitter would have gone to 0 by now.

#44Does Lemmy allows the same behaviour of moderators if they want to be such? I am searching a Reddit alternative with no ability to delete anything. The only acceptible for me censoureship is having a special forum branch with spam, trolls, nsfw and any other unwanting behaviour with no rights to write anywhere else for those who get banhammered.
If you don't want to post porn, Gab allows all legal speech otherwise.

#45I hope Lemmy does well, but I don't think it's going to replace Reddit (and that's likely fine in the eyes of the Lemmy team) Nobody wants a federated, slow, difficult to use version of reddit. Nobody wants to choose a server. We just want reddit without the bullshit. It's the same issue with Mastodon. Mastodon is down over 1 million users since last December, and I bet that's related to how difficult it is to sign u…
Exactly. I always thought Mastadon could have been so much more successful if they had just proxied cached versions of the most popular instances through a single larger server.
Sure it would give Mastadon the power to pick and choose who it wants to host, but if you want to go join a different instance you are more than welcome to.
It would just substantially streamline the process for your mainstream user.

Lemmy you can host your own server with your own rules, or use a server who's rules you like.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
Lemmys ok. It needs more users to be useful. I don't think the critical threshold is very high.
It clearly can't handle more users, so that's a bit of a problem.
It is a federated piece of software with an instance whose admins clearly didn't realise they were going to get the HN hug of death and an exodus of reddit users today. The application's architecture, as I understand it, is largely horizontally scalable but I'd guess its operations team for the main instance either doesn't have a bottomless pit of money, or hasn't had to deal with user floods of this scale before.
In other words: give them a break.

#48IMO the FTC and courts (supreme?) should be stepping in here, and more generally, stating that communications platforms must not censor freedom of speech, nor censor in an anticompettive way. If I want to talk about Hondas on Twitter, Elon should be barred from censoring that. If I want to talk about Bitchute on Youtube, Alphabet must allow that. If I want to use my macbook pro to write windows software, Apple must n…
Doing so would impugn the free speech and property interests of the server owners.
Why does Reddit have to host speech that it doesn’t want to? Why does anybody? Why is their right to exclude subject to limitations on the government of the United States when they are a private corporation? If the FTC wants to bring that suit, they can try, but that’s a lot to prove and I don’t think they’ll be able to count to 1, let alone 5 if they somehow make their case all the way to SCOTUS.

I've had a better time on Mastodon than I ever did on Twitter actually finding people to talk to.
