Yeah and here I am bitching I can't publish the journal I lost with melbourne going private. I'd probably get a cease and desist letter. /s No one much if anyone would have actually read it lol.

If a service if free, we are the product, the advertisers their customers. So this here lemmy or aussie zone or whatever is the same and we'll face the same drama again sometime if it gets big and shareholders need an roi. woohoo late state capatalism! we provide the content for free and they sell us shit we don't need.

Actually, that can’t happen with this place. We can own and run the servers if we want and can choose to communicate or block whatever other servers we want. It’s the big draw card of the “fediverse”

so are we supposed to get a lemmy account as well or not? is aussie zone like a subsection of lemmy?

You only have an instance account and in this case it's via aussie.zone, if you where to make your own instance it would need it's own domain.

You currently can't transfer accounts to other instances.
