I use Memmy as well, works perfectly as far as I can tell. I started on Mlem but when Lemmy 0.18 came out it stopped working for me. No clue if anyone else had that problem and I just missed seeing it but either way Memmy has been great so far.

I think it depends on the person. I’m usually fine with it but I know people who would be out of commission for two days after a single Doritos locos taco.

Yeah, I had never understood why people were so upset about Meta joining the fediverse but after reading that I do agree that there is a lot of damage it could cause.

Have you heard of the establishment known as Taco Bell? It should check all of your boxes.

[–] Merthin1234 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah without knowing anything else about the world, hiding and guarding seem like the best options.

I do all that AND I don’t feel bad for making fun of them.

I mean as much as I really hate the “it’s just been a small new project” excuse it is true. I wouldn’t say “Lemmy doesn’t care” as much as it’s not super mature. Now I could be wrong and the creators could go off the deep end. I’m also not saying these privacy concerns aren’t necessarily valid. I think that it’s reasonable to not want to use Lemmy because of these, I just don’t think it’s inherently malicious.

It’s a physical necessity at this point.

Wow! This is super cool! What else have you grown there beside watermelon?

[–] Merthin1234 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah I agree, Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing and not just a Reddit hate platform. But so far the experience has been great.

[–] Merthin1234 5 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah I 100% agree with the base building aspect too. Especially when someone has a base advertising "free copper" or whatever. The low probability of finding stuff like that makes the game great.

Not only do I agree with the comments talking about corruption, but I also just think that would slow fediverse adoption to a crawl. I’m 100% not going to sign up for something that costs money even if I could get it back. It seems like too much of a hassle and potential for losing money. It also seems like it may make it even harder for the less tech literate people to sign up.
