If people want porn there’s a million places they can look instead. It makes sense to just remove porn spam from your instance, most people don’t really want it in with everything else. Also, it’s harder to moderate or find people willing to moderate it.

If you replaced Forgejo with GitHub then I would understand, but Forgejo isn’t a massive organization with hundreds of hired employees, it’s run by people in their spare time with the option of donations.

Anyone can help contribute, instead of doing that, this guy decided to try and get some clout by being an asshole because he is butthurt about some other interaction. If this guy went about it the proper way and then still got no answer or fix after months, then I would understand more, but he didn’t.

The entire attitude is shit. Could just contact the developers as outlined, instead of being a prude about it for some clout.

What a dick that guy is.

Asking for loads of personal information on sign up and then when I requested deletion, they requested even more. This was like 7 years ago, maybe they changed or got called out. Either way, I’ll never use them again.

My OVH experience was fucking awful, I wouldnt go anywhere near them. Big data collection scheme. Even the big 3 want less from you to spin up a machine or delete an account.

It’s disgusting yeah. I try to avoid projects where Discord is their only news and/or support outlet.

They have acknowledged the offline messaging part. It does work in group chats and has E2EE there, but I think it’s something they are going to look into for servers. It’s closed source, so we are at the mercy of their few developers and cannot help. While I do trust them more than Discord, I would rather have an open solution, like Stoat/Fluxer, take off instead.

0.1% is generous. It’s much smaller.

I dont believe these people are real

People got caught up with lemmy, as it was the most advertised one when the reddit exodus started. Mbin came a bit later after Kbin was doomed. Most won’t bother changing and new users usually go for the more popular options.

I agree though, Mbin is the cleanest

That only mentions revenue, we still don’t know their operating costs.

I don’t use lemmy, so I don’t have to suffer it’s UI. I use Mbin/Kbin and the UI is almost perfect with the settings I changed, I get like 8-9 posts simply laid out with a little thumbnail and the title, no useless features or buttons. Just like old classic reddit, just slightly less compact.

But this “Photon UI” looks absolutely disgusting, I get it might be how the modern web is, but modern isn’t always a good thing, especially when talking about UI/UX.

Obsidian but with syncthing here, just syncs the files across my devices.

But Amazon will just replace them for free without any trouble, which is why I tend to go to Amazon for sensitive hardware, for the peace of mind.

The last time I purchased something from another electronics store, it was faulty and they tried their absolute hardest to refuse to take it back and then still wanted me to pay for a courier to return it - congratulations, you lost a customer.

The point is, we are enjoying free content without any advertising and monetisation slapped on. If that happens, then we just leave, we are not demanding free content, we just consume it because it exists. The donation model is the only one that works in this space, or this space fails as another attempt at capitalism where it wasn’t needed or requested.

I don’t think having to swap sections on the app to use server and use messages will ever be a good change, the update added a lot of extra steps to find information. The original app worked like their desktop app, so it’s natural to use either, whereas now it’s completely different, crazy what was going through their heads with it (well money, trying to sell cosmetics).

But if you don’t mind it, that’s fair.

There’s been a lot of little things over the years, adding clutter and moving buttons around for no apparent reason. The usability is still pretty good overall, I avoid the community side mostly anyway nowadays and just use it to speak with friends. Most notably recently with the mobile app change, god that thing is the perfect example of shitty UX, luckily the old APKs still work.
I’d love people to move on to a more privacy respecting option, but getting people to move is an almost impossible task and the options arent all that great at the moment.
