Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.

They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.

Long live Lemmy.

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

This post is 2 years old lol

This is the true final blow to third party apps.

I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

Bigger than you think.

Most people who moved over are more likely to be contributors.

Only like 1% of redditors ever interact with the platform.

Instead of looking at ‘how much they lost’ think about ‘how much we gained’. This effect has started the network effect for Lemmy.

In a nutshell: corporate greed. The only part of the game that was live service was the paid cosmetics.

At launch, their entire idea of more ‘content’ was just visual cosmetics. If you look at their communications at the time it will all make sense.

They constantly referred to an internal ‘live service’ team separate from the rest of the game, and that team was effectively the ‘cosmetics team’.

People talk about contractors, but this was the real problem. They thought they could get away with barely adding any real content and selling tons of cosmetics.

oh… I saw a meme about this and thought it was just a joke.
