not just multiple! allegedly - they say Iran destroyed 8 F-15 planes and 1 A-10 in a single strike on the ground.

And Houthis just did a literal blietzkrieg TODAY - and took several islands, huge territory and an important port - and no news outlets covering this.

This is complete failure of US intelligence and US navy, This is total failure of republican led military. how can you control the seas and let thta happen?

and guess what - red sea - closed. our fleet will have to sail back around Afrika now - I kid you not

they all rats

Ya same I just want more options. Now they just politely going each other way instead of competing. Assholes watch out - harmony os will eat their lunch

lemming? I couldnt tell

This keeps happening and what - you just gonna wipe your face from Microsoft piss, smile and keep using their surveillance product? Nah just switch to Linux

I don’t mind reddit content. I want reddit without using reddit it’s that simpe

Can they make another android competitor?
Since software is cheap nowadays. I’m sick and tired of Google shit

God I hate nyc, such a shithole

they cant change fundametals - device working against me is not MY device.
which is why - doesnt matter if they rewrite everyting in rust, it wont sell.
people know nowadays

Duh. Ofc. But not many people do as they don’t know they can do it. Interestingly this prick opted in to do it

it dont matter if you left or right - budget deficit will kill us all if we dont fix. Trump import taxes were correct move - but he should have just done it through congress. now its stupid and out of the window and people are pissed only corporatios got their refunds

I think hes doing it now mostly because Trump funded his oponent and kickded him out of congress. hes gone from there January 3, 2027. trump never forgave him voting against big beautiful bill

he would probably much more likely to support no minimum wage and no universal healthcare overall.

he might run in 2028

Lemmy is never going to be as big as Reddit. It financially cannot be.

Why not? That’s exactly the kind of assumption I’m questioning.

Federation is supposed to make scaling easier to distribute. More users can mean more instances, more admins, more donations, more infrastructure, and costs spread across the network.

“It can’t grow because we can’t afford growth” isn’t some fundamental property of federation. It’s an infrastructure problem to solve.

And “it doesn’t want to be” keeps coming up. Lemmy is software. It doesn’t want anything. Different users, admins, and developers clearly have very different ideas about what it should become.

I’m interested in seeing how far it can go, not declaring its ceiling in advance.

is that why lemmy has no hardware resources - they all communists?
also - are non communists allowed to join?

That’s just semantics. An alternative competes for the same users.

Your own source says Lemmy was created because Reddit was banning their communities. The whole point was giving those people somewhere else to go.

Call it an alternative, competitor, or communist escape pod. 😂 The question is the same:

What good is an alternative to Reddit if almost nobody adopts it?

because while I can - it wont do anything if lemmy is at 35k MAU. need distribution and volume. has to be onpar with large plaeyers

at the momen 35k MAU is 4x less than my wife cookie blog monthly sorry

comes election when reddit sabotages all news and only ships corporate propaganda you dont have to have an independent influence?

see issue is - most non techie people wont even understand why they being banned. thats the problem. me running my own instance solves issue for me, does nothing for others.

I dont want corporate control. I like lemmy. but its not working - it needs to be much much bigger to really affect reality
