Because what lithium ion battery last forever? They’re well degraded after a few years.

How did ee, and sh.itjust.works grow? Because they were open. You have a short memory if you don’t remember how many instances closed, during API blackout.
I didn’t want to pick an instance that was running on a thinkpad that would get switched off when someone got bored.
Federation was confusing for many. Many used the join Lemmy website and options that were general purpose open instances that were English speaking and open were not huge. People made decisions in a short period of time and many went with world, ee, and sh.it. It isn’t baffling. It is also no shock that people set up communities where they register and may be big enough to survive. Who would create a community that disappears in 3 weeks.
You painting users as brainless sheep does nothing more than give you some feeling superiority. Maybe your fragile ego needs that. I’ll help if you need it. Congratulations, you’re so smart and clever. More so than most. Thanks for stepping on your soap box and imparting your wisdom/red hot takes upon us.
ee wasn’t big originally, but it was one of the few instances that were big enough to not dissappear, run by a competent sys admin, and small enough to not be affected by the big instance performance challenges, while keep registrations open when many instances shut the door on newcomers. Basically, ee, sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world were there main options for people moving across. Their sensible stewardship has led to growth, and trust is why it has kept growing.
Federation means people can choose, and they do. It doesn’t mean everything will be exactly the same size and stay small. An instance needs good sysadmin who will investigate issues an liase with dev teams to get them fixed. People will gravitate to those instances run by talented devs.
They’re not forcing you to be on the official mobile app? That’s nice of them :).
Lemm ee c boobies perhaps?
Be the change you want to see.
You thought they were the leaders. They’re the followers, staying near the crowd.
Building communities is hard and takes time.
Apologies, I made a mistake. Just checked and it is a DuoCast.
Odd. I have HyperX Quadcast on OpenSuse TW. Both sleep and hibernate work fine.
It had modern kernel and software. It was the reason I use it. To support newer hardware. Thus was a year ago and I’ve been happy since. Maybe not Manjaro not master branch untested up to date, but as good as you’ll ever need.
If you like to brag that you use Arch or Gentoo, or you like a rolling update to occasionally break your system Manjaro style do not use OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Otherwise, go ahead and enjoy. I’ve used for over a year without issue. It’s fantastic.
Firefox. My initial experience with Jerboa wasn’t great but it is improving.
I hope it suceeds. As someone who uses OpenSuse Tumbleweed for a year now, I cannot recommend it enough. Solid company, and great work.
Although my main one is gmail, I have been using proton mail for a while and I’m getting to point where I trust it for most stuff and I will start to move non-critical stuff away from gmail.
Definitely the hardest to compete against, but if people come here, they will become aware of alternatives like Odysee and peer tube.
What do they have against motorhead. They clearly don’t like to gamble…
You mean Lemmy dot world. Does that get filterered?
Open source alternatives are a threat. They cannot control information there. I bet all of them are blacklisted.
Best to move on. Don’t let them live rent free. Anger consumes you and barely touches them.
Manjaro. I’ve never known a distro break as much as this.
I generally don’t like to judge distro’s, because they’ve all got pros and cons. With Manjaro, the pros column is pretty empty :).
