I’m really enjoying lemmy. I think we’ve got some growing pains in UI/UX and we’re missing some key features (like community migration and actual redundancy). But how are we going to collectively pay for this? I saw an (unverified) post that Reddit received 400M dollars from ads last year. Lemmy isn’t going to be free. Can someone with actual server experience chime in with some back of the napkin math on how expensive it would be if everyone migrated from Reddit?
ads and trackers. people worry about privacy like they r handling CIA data and all they have on their phones is videos of cats and golden retrievers
Your phone probably also has your name, address, your sin number that you’ve written down so you can transcribe it later into that government form and then forgot to delete, your mom sending you unsolicited advice on how to deal with your hemorrhoid which she was never supposed to know about, search history of looking up how to deal with said hemeroids, furry porn wait no those are also cat videos, that embarrassing conversation you had with your crush five years ago. There’s so much that could be on your phone that most people wouldn’t want strangers getting ahold of.
