At least the mall of Reddit is open 24/7.
That new mom and pop down the road seems to close at random times during the day. 😉
Ahhh, defending reddit because lemmy.world is the target of constant ddos attacks? Just go to a different instance. Lemmy’s not closed. A single entrance is just being blocked by assholes who support billionaire-owned platforms.
It’s like a mall where the main entrance is closed for construction, but all the other entrances, including the entrances through different stores, are all open.
It’s more like a mall where the main entrance is being blocked by dipshit reactionaries and trolls picketing in front of it.
The instance I use is ran by a bunch of Unix nerds, so I’d expect them to wear their uptime as a badge of honour. I suspect there’s probably a sweet spot for instance size, where it doesn’t hit the biggest scaling problems, but big enough to justify the ongoing effort, rather than obviously being a one-man shop that will vanish when his cheque to Digital Ocean bounces.
Is lemmy.world really that bad?
Lemmy.ca went out, like, twice in the time I’ve used it.
As a .world user, it’s had some instability. Though in general I’d say it has okay uptime for a somewhat startup, volunteer enthusiast run content aggregation & discussion platform.
You can always poke at https://status.lemmy.world to see how things are going 😁
Another article that’s overly sympathetic to the mods. Reddit has been bad for years, not now just suddenly with the API changes when the bulk of you finally realized. The mods were horrible and HUGE part of the problem, to the point I think the mods (and other users) being so upset is hilarious. The API changes were a bad move, but they were just the latest in a years long string of nothing BUT bad moves. You guys are way late to the party and congratulating yourselves for being so punctual. Now the standard moving on from your ex joke and my comment is finished.
Let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for mods Reddit would be 4chan. I’m also not sure Lemmy solves your problem as it has basically the same system.
I don’t agree at all. Mods are good at self-aggrandizing…but I remember reddit before it was chock full o power mods and it wasn’t really like that. Also I’ve been a mod and there wasn’t that much objectionable content that needed to be removed. Seems like being a mod these days is setting up a bot, doing nothing, then complaining about how hard your “job” is. Oh, also making sure no posts that disagree with your personal politics are allowed to stay up.
This post is a total shitshow. I get the sentiment, and to some amount agree. But who the fuck wrote this drivel? its the worst shit I’ve read in seconds on the internet, and that usually takes hours.
Self Aggrandizing Self Posters… GFY
It’s really unattractive to be so obsessed with your ex months after getting into a new relationship with Lemmy. Can we move on please?
