Lol. I always chuckle when people recommend gamepass when you can download and keep most of the games cheaper with a VPN.

Yes, I would play Arena all the time on Manjaro.

I use the Lutris version. Occasionally the entire thing needs to be redownloaded from scratch, but that’s it.

Woah dude, you’re getting right into my point of projection.

Just because you want to use your excess to get even more excess, you’re assuming that everyone else will. Why eschew luxurious so those who have less can have more? You’d never project that lol, cause that’s not how you feel.

Have a good day, man. Hope I enlightened you a bit.

Gonna block you now cause I feel you have nothing to offer me. See ya.

What does this mean?

Why do you keep linking to ycombinator and not the actual article?

Paying to tell others that they should buy something they otherwise would not.

It looks like Lemmy and PeerTube, where people do the hard work because they care and not to make a profit off of idiots with more money than sense.

Saying it’s ‘impossible’ is objectively false and just shows people you don’t understand the world you live in.

How does lemmy make money?

Also, hasn’t youtube been wildly profitable for years? Profit, by definition is excess. It’s what’s left over after all business expense have been paid.

If youtube is profitable, why do they need more profit? Oh yeah, they don’t.

Sorry this needs to be spelled out for you.

Banning advertising will cause people to rely on word of mouth.

Now, instead of some nameless entity telling you a product is the greatest thing, you’ll be able to hold people accountable for the things they recommend you.

I wonder how lemmy makes money…

Oh wait. It’s almost like ads only exist so people can make a living doing nothing.

It’s only going to get worse.

Shoving more ads in people’s faces just desensitizes them to it so you can keep adding even more ads into the mix.

“You were okay with 2 ads, why not 3?”

“You were okay with 3 ads, why not 5?”

Repeat until the end of time, or until the masses stop being dumbasses and work together to topple the ruling class.

P.S. I have no respect for anyone in the advertising industry. They are all scum worth less than the gum under my shoe.

I… don’t think you know what ddossing means but okay.

Would it really be very easy? Especially considering once instances find your doing that, they just block you? Would it be worth people’s time?

Is there any way around this, perhaps querying a global repository of federated instances and sorting them by popularity?

In all honesty, you don’t have a point. If you did, third-party services already wouldn’t offer this. Seeing as they can, it’s clearly possible.

Thank you for sharing this!

You didn’t really offer me a solution nor did you answer my question. You also made the sny remark, “If they can’t bother with investigating the platform for 10 minutes, I think they should stay on Reddit and keep complaining about the awful app and website over there.”

You’re unwilling to take any criticism of lemmy. You are the kind of person that prevents it from getting better and more accessible to a general audience.

I’m sorry for not giving you praise for not contributing anything of value.

since anyone can start an instance, when you search “all”, where should it search?

Easy! It should search all the servers your server is federated with! Servers should contain a list of their community names that can be easily and quickly queried by other servers.

It should be able to search a list of communities available on other servers its federated with.

This would be a very simple feature to implement and should not cause significant overhead.

🥱

Calm down buddy. Your analogy has no water and you’re clearly fueled by emotion.

Take a step back, breath some fresh air, then come back when you’re ready to discuss civilly. Right now you’ve said nothing of substance.

Yeah. And I’m interested in retrieving all of the servers my instance is connected to that contain a string in that community name.

Why is this so hard to get across to you?

Why don’t you have a solution for how server members find communities on different servers in the first place? Are you really defending relying on third-party services and ‘other means’ to find communities on different servers?

I think that’s really bad design and a testament to why the fediverse is inaccessible to the general public.

So, small instances are bad if you don’t want to rely on third party services to find other communities?

Gee, what great design. Thank you for defending it for me and telling me to just switch to a different server. That really is the solution.

Oh yes, it really is.

The implementation may not be easy, but the concept is very simple.
