I like Lemmy more than I thought I would but it’s really rough in areas that Reddit’s polished more and it also is, well, pretty quiet. It’s a little hard to really dive into it when so much is clearly missing on even just the people not being there. I certainly miss a lot of subs I’d spend more time on, subs that have miles more subscribers than people who even use Lemmy as a whole. I’m hoping that more people jump over to here but it’s definitely not the same because there is still a void left unfilled. But I’ll live, it certainly reduces how much time I use social media overall since I never was a Twitter user.

Funny enough, an artist called Fallout Boy did recently do a We Didn’t Start The Fire parody to try and be more up to date on content.

That said, aside from being completely out of order, it’s controversial for some of its… questionable lyrical choices, for lack of a better word.

I honestly don’t mind this. This is really useful for small creators in not needing to do workarounds for Patreon or Patreon roles and this makes it easier by being baked into Discord itself. I get the worry of stuff being paywalled but since it is entirely set by the server owner/creator, it would be something to take up with them instead. The 10% cut is a bit rough but I know other platforms also take a cut, but I’m not too sure if 10% is high or low. That would be my own biggest concern since it only makes sense if it is comparable or lower than other platforms like Patreon.
