I remember my first experience with voat being a poll discussing whether they should ban child porn. The split was ~90% in favor of banning, 10% against. 10% is concerningly high.

Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.
Sincere question, is it difficult to create harvest methane from animals? Most livestock basically never sees the sun so it’s not like there’s an interminable area to harvest from, and stories of farmyard methane fires aren’t exactly uncommon so the concentration is there.
You mention downvotes? Believe it or not, reduce. You mention upvotes, also reduce. We have the best comments in the world because of reduce.
If bots don’t end up an overwhelming issue, maybe. The internet has overwhelmingly changed between the formation of Reddit and the formation of Lemmy. Novel issues and solutions will form something new.
This is interesting, I cannot reply to iAmTheTot’s comment, but there’s no issue commenting on any other comments. Is it because they’re on kbin?

I might sound a bit elitist, but the sort of people who would join Threads would lead to step 0 of the enblandening of the entire fediverse. Not to mention increased bot spam. I say this as someone who is likely enblandening the fediverse.
Thank you, their financials seem not to be a big concern for now. I imagine the administrators will begin posting their patreon more frequently in this instance if costs become cumbersome in the long-term. I’m not certain whether they’re dipping into their relatively sizable savings from mastodon or whether they’re keeping funding separate, but they’re not in immediate danger, nonetheless.
Any chance you could say where you found their financials? I’ve been fruitlessly searching for them for the last week.
They closed up in order to avoid mistakenly accepting bigots into the fold. Nothing wrong with leaving a safe space to its own devices, as long as it isn’t bothering anyone else.
Depending on how much the admin hosting this instance pays for it, I’d disagree. This is the largest instance by a fair margin so hosting costs* may not be a negligible expense anymore.
Spez succeeded, regardless. His end goal was the IPO, consequences he damned. Rectal fissures were entirely acceptable. Now whether Spez is happy with his booty blasting, that’s another question entirely.
I’m not sure whether the issues plaguing Reddit really apply to lemmy, even with a single instance being disproportionately larger than the others, which makes “Reddit 2.0” a bit less derogatory to me. Reddit’s moderator tools were severely lacking for the required output (federation helps diffuse communities, and lemmy doesn’t encourage bots to swarm in order to increase apparent user numbers for investor satisfaction), every big anti-hate decision required a media spectacle to precede it (admins here aren’t free speech absolutists with authoritarian hard-ons), and staff retention at Reddit is an odd loop of promotion into managerial obsolescence which severely increases overhead (irrelevant to lemmy). Reddit 2.0 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to me.
I’m having trouble seeing the purpose of the federation system if not to cater what people see, to one degree or another. After seeing soft nazi rhetoric spread through years worth of complacency, the argument of “don’t get too banhappy, fellas, all ideas are worth considering” really doesn’t strike me as wise.
This is potentially the grimmest perspective I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’re wrong, either.
