Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.
It’s less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.
At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.
When I realized it was that dude who tried signing up to my instance I lost my shit laughing, if he was screened prior it’s obvious he wouldn’t have gotten in. This is precisely what happens when you focus on growth over organically cultivating a healthy community.
If that is true in any way whatsoever, that is a completely moronic long term goal. Lemmy devs themselves have encouraged instances who do such a thing to defederate. I don’t see how realistically advertising or monetization would be done not only without immense privacy concerns that would likely affect the rest of the fediverse but without major protests and mass defederation. The backlash against it would be immense, not just on lemmy but across the fediverse itself.
The lemmy.world admins are pretty much disgruntled power tripping redditors. They aren’t thinking that far ahead. They’re definitely going to go for the dumbest move they can possibly pull off and count on their reddit users to argue in favour of it as a “reasonable, sensible choice after all”.

I have no proof but I think lemmy.world will be monetized at some point.

Those that even remotely consider scraping data on Mastodon consistently face intense harassment and criticism.

Can’t you just scrape everything without ever saying a word to the admins though?

Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Are we going to find Ollie North’s gold?
Yet people complain when you use one of the few tools available to you, namely defederation lol
