  • When I used to have Reddit on my phone, I’d look at it as soon as I woke up. There was new content constantly throughout the day so I kept coming back.

    Lemmy doesn’t have the content churn, so I can genuinely just look once a day and spend an hour or so catching up. No FOMO! I much prefer it.

    However I do miss some of the niche subreddits that got reasonable activity on Reddit and absolutely zero activity here. They were my favourite part of Reddit.

    I’d take more activity in those niche places, but I don’t miss the addiction I had.

    Spez let me go cold turkey for a while. Thanks (fuck) Spez.






  • The older and shittier the ISP the more blocks of IPV4 addresses they have. They have blocks from when they were given out willy nilly.

    New ISPs, the ones that compete and bring the prices down have to buy addresses and that costs money and is a cost bigger and older ISPs do not have.

    This is a case for regulation - either mandating a move to V6 or mandating the release of stockpiled v4 addresses. ISPs will not do that on their own, the addresses can currently be sold for lots of money.
